I found out players from opposing sides can wander in enemy territory first hand today. Comedy and hostility ensued.
Encounter one:
So, as I made my way down the Southern Gold road getting ready to complete a quest, I spot what I thought were two players on their mounts. I take a second look and realize that they aren't Orcs or Taurens, but players from the Alliance! Instinctively I right click to annihilate these enemies but it says they're friendly. Friendly? Confused, I decide to ignore them and go on with my grinding. I get back to killing and as I am about to finish the Thunder Lizard I was fighting, a roaring tiger flashes on the screen. I finish off the Lizard and boggle at this creature and it's female Elf master standing in front of me.
"What are you doing?" I type.
"Fugarah," comes the response.
"Why are you two here?" I ask.
"Bugah sa amiah," (or some such nonsense) responds the Alliance member.
At first I thought the elf was kidding but I then realize the language barrier between us. Maybe I can learn to speak elvish if I keep talking to this person. It goes on...
"So you don't speak Orkish?"
"Bugah abagi bugah"
I decide the only universal communication we have is the emote actions.
I roar furiously.
The Elf's mount roars back.
I laugh hysterically.
She laughs back, and then began to weep.
I clicked on the elf player then typed /flirt just to see what she would do. She responded by flirting with our raptor. It was quite comical.
After this I decided I had, had enough laughs with the elves and I decided to move on.
Encounter two:
I often try and explore distant lands just to see how strong the monsters are and what kinds of items they drop. I was making my way towards Blackthorn Ridge, taking my time, enjoying the scenery when a player (Alliance) runs past me and slaps me straight accross the face! Baffled, I quickly switch to Aspect of the Cheeta (which makes Hunters run at a faster speed) and chase after this hooligan. The audacity. I had no idea how to slap him back, so I just run past him as if challenging him to a race. He falls back but not for long as I see he has the skill to morph into a wolf. He accumulates enough speed to easily pass me. No! I can't let him win and I managed to cut him off forcing him into the mountain. I had won. Juvinile? Definately. However, it was well worth the sweet revenge.
Encounter three:
This encounter was swift, violent, and was finished within seconds.
I was making my way back from my hourly visit to camp Taurajo to sell vendor trash when I spot two Elves on their mounts. Them again? I went to see what they were up to, maybe we can converse through our emotes again. I run up to the mounts to greet them. Their mounts both instantaneously disappear and two Elves stood before me. What is going on? My raptor immediately begins to attack. But...I thought they were friendly - oops these are different Elves. Were they players? The whole situation was still processing, and while I was trying to understand what was going on my Raptor falls over and dies. So fast?! I right click on the Elves and make my last defensive stand. Level 25 their profiles read - well I'm doomed. One level 22 Hunter against two level 25 Elves who not only have cornered me without the protection of my pet, but I'm not sure they were even players. I was slaughtered moments after.
All in a few hours...

Ouch! I play a hunter too and know all too well the feeling you get when your pet has been killed. It's like you're...naked. :P
:) That would definitely be the word to describe it.
I remember these elves. They are not human players because players can't have mounts before level 40.
About the gibberish you got, the game mangles everything an alliance character say. To him, what you said also appeared as gibberish.
