my big gripe was the fact that you couldn't see whom you were ganking while doing RvR. You would just run up to whomever from the opposing realm and kill or be killed, but you couldn't see their "name" above their character
Not knowing initially who you were attacking stopped players from targetting the same person repeatedly, for whatever reason. Constantly targetting and beating the same person over and over would lead to alot of frustration, especially when you know that the person always beats you. Not having names made the combat more exciting because you wouldn't know if the player behind the character was easy pickings or not.

If WoW allows for tells between factions, they shouldn't show the name of the person you are fighting. Given that so many young loudmouth bnet players are going to try and play, I would hate to get a /tell after dying like, "LoL! I ownz y00! Hahaha, u sux!", similarly, if I beat a bnet player "OMFG!!! You ganked me you %$*#@! If it was fare Id own u. loozer!!!!" or similar conversations.

Let the Horde hate the Alliance and vice versa. Let them fight all the time, but let me enjoy my victory or learn from my defeats without having to hear that the other player is actually a 12 year old who has no social skills.
