Myth: PvPers are all twinks
In terms of all PvPers being well-geared and clever players, adept at tricks
and secrets that allow them to play their class to the max, not at all. You may
think that because you're an RPer, that makes you automatically not as good at
PvPing, and that everyone you go up against will be a master of the BG. The
BGs, especially in seasons 20-49, are filled with clueless Alliance who are new
to the whole thing. Even some of the ones who are seasoned vets are missing a
few tactical tricks that would make them truly dangerous fighters.
     In addition, don't be too intimidated by a player's rank. All you need to
get a high rank is persistence and time. It doesn't measure anything about your
skill or character.

Myth: PvPers speak in 1337speak and are generally dumb
PvPers range everywhere from computer geniuses to 12-year-olds, but all of
these people deserve respect and shouldn't be judged on the basis of whether or
not they type with capital letters and proper punctuation. I've never seen
PvPers speak in 1337speak, either. The PvPers who are active chatters are
generally intelligible and intelligent.

Myth: PvPers do not RP
Even the most hardcore PvPers are at the very least tolerant of RP. Although
it's not always possible to be completely in character in the BGs, most players
are happy to play along with you if you start spinning yarns of old war stories
or shouting personalized battle cries. One of my favorites is to run across the
bridge in Alterac Valley, throwing out Arcane Explosions and yelling things
like "Fools, strike me down! I shall only return, more powerful than you can
ever imagine!" Pretty soon, a bunch of people will have joined in with their
own witty hollerings.

Myth: You have to be the highest level in your bracket to be a good PvPer
I regularly PvP in battlegrounds in which I am the lowest season player.
Currently, I'm a level 51 character fighting in the 50-59 bracket, and I'm
still one of the most influential players in the battle. Being persistent, and
at the right place at the right time, is more important than level or gear.
