pvp flag (yet another noob question)Follow

hallo, I was wondering...
what is the /pvp switch for? I play in a PvP server, burning legion.
I was in ratchet (just completed my felhunter quest, but this is another - sad - story), and for some unknown reason (I'm definitely a nooob) I tried the /pvp switch and I received a message stating that I was flagged for pvp. needless to say, one second after there was a ??-lvl tauren after me that /laughed at me and killed me in a second. now I wonder... when I am peacefully traveling in a contested territory, or in the horde territory, they attack me on sight anyway, so what is the need of a /pvp switch in a pvp server? the only difference with the rest of my deaths is that this time the tauren /laughed at me, not much indeed
thanks

Maybe he's not a puss so he wants to play on a real server. So go back to your pansy PvE server and leave the guy alone.

Anyway, there are times when it is fun. At one point I was in SM and there was a priest that was MCing people to talk to them, so I turned my pvp flag on so she could MC me. That's about the only time I've used it lol

the point is that I know that I can be killed when I am in ratchet and I am used to it, too. I was only wondering what the pvp flag was for in a pvp server, since I can, and will, be attacked anyway.
