While leveling the only time I’m attacked by skull level players is when its rogues.
Does the rogue class attract jerky players or does the over powered cheapness of the class encourage people to be jerks?

Probably because you hide or run when you see the other classes from a distance. Rogues are just the ones slowly stealthing around that you cant hide from ahead of time.

No. Priests, Warriors, Mages… will walk right by me and not kill me. But rogues kill 99% of the time.
I figured its because rogues can hide and don’t have to worry about main characters hunting you down. Or the class just attracts jerks.

I cam never take anyone seriously when they say, “99% of the time.”

Oh rogues are definitely the jerky class, or people role play them to be jerky. That’s not to say no one else ganks greys/lowbies, but it is for sure more rogues by far. I just leveled an alt and I saw the same thing.
Plus rogues can just stealth and run away when the 60 mains come out.

bc they can hide and just wait for an easy kill tbh

They’re killing you now because if you’re worth half your salt they won’t be able to kill you later. Patience my fellow clothie. Retribution is at hand.

Depends, once they get better gear and might be specced for PvE (and also geared for it) they won’t have the stats to survive the burst.
idk, 1v1 an equally geared rogue could probably still 3 shot OP at 60. I mean you open up with garrot, apply a rupture, vanish the freeze, and repeat, finish off with an eviscerate. Trinket anything else, at most OP would get a sheep off maybe and just mount up and run away since sheeps in vanilla last a retarded amount of time. And all of that is assuming no engineering bombs are used or a frost deflect trinket.
Strange. When I was leveling, especially pre mount, I was ganked by shamans more than any other class.

I think it’s mostly because after the gank, they can hide. I know as a Druid I’m much more likely to attack someone because afterward I can stealth and hide out until I’m ready to go again. I know especially while leveling alts I’m much more hesitant to PvP in the open world than I ever was on Druid. Because I know if I kill someone and then they can spend the next hour attacking me while I’m trying to quest and such, and I’d rather just level and not deal with it, but on a stealth class you don’t really have to worry as much. I dont know about if they’re level 60’s though. Just being chads I suppose.

But its not true. My lowbies get mind flayed, grenaded, charged, become pet food, moonfired…
The type of person who would spend a lot of time and effort ganking lowbies is the same type of person who might be a serial killer IRL under the right circumstances. It’s called sadism.
Ask yourself this, if you were going to be a serial killer, wouldn’t you want stealth mode? Duh.

It’s just a video game. If you don’t want to get ganked, play on a PVE server.
People who roll rogues on PVP servers usually do it so they can randomly gank people of all levels in contested zones. It’s easily the most attractive class in PVP scenarios and hence attracts the most socially problematic types.

Idk for me it’s always Hunters and Warlocks that won’t leave me alone when I’m leveling alts.
Warlocks seems to just dot you as they run by but Hunters go out of the way to keep camping you.

I can confirm this statement
I usually dont kill lowbies, but a few weeks ago something interesting happened. I was playing on my mage (60) when two level 32 warriors charged me and both pop a FAP, i just stood still like ???
Had to kill both
A group of wonderful, level 60, BWL geared alliance were camping the entrance to Sunken Temple long enough the other day it completely destroyed any chance my group would ever enter the instance. Not a single rogue among them. Couple warriors, though…
What I don’t get is why there is “honor” in this.
