Having fun in Gadgetzan!

alliancesjrAh, faction-neutral cities. Though I found Gadgetzan a bit plain for my tastes - definitely doesn't have the flavor of Booty Bay or Ratchet - I quickly discovered (read: told by guildies) a glorious pasttime that will bring me back again and again.
While duelling (cross-faction as well) is permitted in the city, actual fighting is not, and the level 57 goblins will kill you for fighting inside the walls.
Not only that, but high-level Alliance on Thunderhorn apparently think that we're stupid.
Clearly, it was time for some fun.

Call me an ass if you like, but last night, I put off reaching level 31 (I was less than a bubble) and spent an hour or so in Gadgetzan with my flag on. Guildies had dared me to do it, and they said that there would be people who wouldn't resist ganking - or attempting to gank - in the city limits.
(Sadly, I wasn't thinking about screencaps, or this story would be illustrated.)
I was approached by a Night Elf, a fellow Hunter, who happened to be level skull for me. I knew she was above 40, as she had just been sitting on her mount. (I discovered that she was level 44 after Wensleydale hopped over to Gadgetzan to watch the show)
She kept motioning for me to follow her outside the city. (/followme, apparently, will translate, though voices will not.)
I waved.
[Krajin]: Do you really think I'm that stupid?
[Krajin]: [Troll] You can't understand a word I'm saying.
[Krajin]: My meatwiggle is raspberry harvest hamster.
She motioned for me to follow her again. I took a couple steps towards the entrance, stopped, and waved again.
This went on probably five times before I decided to take it to a whole new level. I pointed to the gate on the other side of the city, motioned for her to /followme, and hit the "Toggle Walk/Run" key.
And then I made her follow me around the big cage.
Twice.
Walking.
I tried for a third time, but she gave up. I started dancing with her, and left my flag on.
A Night Elf Rogue popped in behind me, though, and attacked me. She was quickly taken out by the Bruisers, and I kept dancing.
Not too long after that, there were a bunch high-level Paladins that were doing the same (motioning for me to follow them outside the city). Male Paladins.
Oh, they asked for it.
[Krajin]: That hammer must be compensating for something. You're probably very homophobic, as well. Let's test that.

Krajin blows a kiss to HomophobicPaladin
The Paladin and his friends immediately turned their PvP flags on, surrounded me, and attacked me. Sure, I was killed, but not before the goblins killed two of them. I don't know if they took down any more before I completed my corpse run.
After that, nobody else wanted to play with me, so I hearthed and logged. But that was possibly the most fun I've had in a long time.
Seriously, I'm not stupid enough to follow someone that's over ten levels above me outside the city when I'm flagged.
