When the tournament first came out, my wife tried it solo and got ganked by some fishermen. The next week, we took about 10 bodyguards. We kept the alliance on rez timers, needless to say, she won.

I've been trying for myself lately. We don't require an escort. On our server, no one ganks during the tournament anymore.

My wife and I've both had level 19 twinks talking shit to us, because we are trying to steal their hats and boots. These people tend to fish from your pool aswell. These people, we intentionally fish from their pools. Otherwise, everyone else is pretty respectful and leave occupied pools alone.

I've met one level 19 twink who was respectful. I took care of an alliance that was ganking him, because he had warned me previously of an alliance in the area.

The contest is still pretty competitive. Today, an alliance one. I was two seconds to late, otherwise, I would have won. Five seconds later, three horde showed up.

There are still some servers where fishermen respect each other. If it's your first time, see how the fishermen treat each other during the contest, before you make everyone devolve into twelve-year-olds.
