It is for someone learning the ropes since the losses are unfair (making them frustrating) AND quick. This means that you learn very little. In the Forest/Parish/Township people expect to be invaded since they're PvP heavy areas, thus plenty of unfair fighters gather to generally piss people off.

Very little PvP (relative to the mentioned areas) is going on in areas like Lost Izalith or New Londo, so people looking for PvP don't go there, which automatically means less gankers, magic spammers and BS fishers.
