Last time I attacked a group of ranking ragers I wasn't trying to pick them off while they were weak. I was looking for a fight in a place that isn't no recall and won't result in whoever dies getting lowbie looted because the fight is on eastern.

I knew they probably weren't hurt (and indeed they were not). In that circumstance I think a gank would have been weak on the part of the ragers. That said, they didn't go for the gank in this case.

I think as a rager you have choices. Some will look for opportunities to gank and others will look for reasons not to gank.
