Does Blizzard Really hate New players in WoW that much?

Well, today i was working on my wow addon, and created a new character, selected race, class name etc, the usall stuff. But when i got in game, expected just to do a couple of start quests, test a few things in the addon etc etc. started on the usall I've just started a new character routine, and well that's where it started, got attacked by another player right off the mark, If this was a PvP Server that'd be fine, and mildly annoying been a starting zone, how ever this was a PvE Server, and i was killed by a lvl 70 human mage, no pvp flag or anything. Once your a zombie, you can go around killing anybody, and anything, everything is a target, even not flagged players.

So the real question here is, does Blizzard Hate new players that much, it wants to drive them all off, or did they suffer a huge bout of stupidity?
