Yet all i see in the R-v-B channel is people moaning about one side or other blobbing the others station or people comming out to engage others in much bigger ships.
It's because no matter how much you try to avoid blobing, station games, ect..ect it's gonna happen reguardless. There is always the human factor and unfortantly most people do not feel confident enough to fight with out clear advantage.
This does not matter if it's RvB, FW or (instert whatever here). The end resualt is if some one can use an advantage they will reguardless of anything else.
I am in FW with this alt and RvB with a nob alt and I can say it's much easier to find fights in RvB than in FW. In FW it seems there are far more keyboard warriors whom never come out to play unless they have a clear advantage. It's also very hard to finf 1v1's in FW.
However FW tends to have a bit more of the unconsentual PVP that feels more piratey. Meaning you are more likely able to catch a wt somewhere alone in a back system and have your way with him.
RVB on the other hand offers up probably almost continious PvP (if u want it), but not so much the same feeling as being able to go hunt down a target to get some nice suprise sex with them. Meaning if you want to undock and go find a fight soon as you log in, RvB can't be beat.
If you fly cheap T1 frigs ,Dessies and the occisional cruiser you will get tons of action. On the other hand if you want to fly BC's, BS, T2 stuff and hunt a bit then FW is likely the better place for that kind of action.
In short, FW is like general EvE PvP, most people wont fight with out clear advantage and eeven then, they will probably run. Sometimes that can have it's own appeal, if you like pulling wings off flies, and killing someone whom wanted to run.. 
RvB, on the other hand tends to have many more people whom are willing to fight, and I never have any problems getting "aranged" 1v1's. The problem I see with RvB atm is the area is almost too small. The current trend is to form up gangs and they can quickly lean to the typical ganking, which tends to suck and makes it hard on the 1v1 guys, being there are only really 4 systems to fight in.
tl;dr version..
FW: typical EvE style PvP, with lots of free WT's and likely better if you like big gangs.
RvB: More Quake like arena PvP, and a lot more action, but losses the thrill of the hunt.
