I wrote a guide about it on this website right here (and I plan on writing more). You'll find very few resources about WPvP in general, I've been doing it on private servers.

Hide and seek event!
This was during TBC, but I still fondly remember a raiding guild that organised a hide and seek game while I was leveling.
For every day for a week they would post a vague screenshot of some ingame location as a hint, and at a specified hour a previously parked character would log in in the area. The first person to trade him won like 10 or 100 gold or something, as a noob still busy leveling this was a fortune, so every evening, a legion of noobs was scouring the area looking for this character named “birthdayboy” looking to claim that sweet gold to fund their mount.
I remember with particular fondness that one day “birthdayboy” parked his character on a difficult to reach ledge in blackrock mountain above the lava pit. Many a noob fell in the lava to die, but I made it thanks to levitate and claimed the prize!
The final day was an all out free for al brawl in gurubashi arena, last man standing wins.
It was glorious. It really engaged leveling players, and really made me look up to that guild..

That's awesome! Exactly the kind of ideas I'm looking for. Thank you for the story.

I think the most "non-productive" activity Vanilla has to offer is just standing on the Orgrimaar bank's roof to show off your gear to newbies

Also works in the other way : drool in admiration seing those beautiful and rare pieces of gear that you're dreaming of at night :mrgreen:

Don’t forget to mount up ( or stick as close to the center if you can’t afford a mount ) and see how many consecutive laps of the roof you can do while jumping from girder to girder.

Afaik they cant leave their rooms without resetting, similar to AV bosses.

Thank you for clarifying. Could only imagine the wild places you could kite faction leaders too. That'd be wild. Oh well.

I just imagined kiting Cairne through Mulgore and yelling Cattle crossing.

Jumping between the bridge pillars in Ironforge.
Jumping on the Orgrimmar bank.
Jumping and doing a perfect 360 spin.
Jumping off Thunderbluff.
Jumping in general.

This is why it took me so long to get to 60 and I'll be doing it all again.
