No one went to all of the worlds. The common PK worlds being W1, W3, W4, W5, W13, W17, W32, and a few others were the main PK worlds. Mains would completely dominate on W1, W3 and W17. If you didn't have 30+ people, you were going to get rocked on those worlds. W3, W4, W5 were the more common worlds for pures to use, to find other pures. W32 was a mix between everything.
World 3 was the most popular PK world anyways. It always had pures or mains at any of the spots like hills, castle, edge, varr, gdz or maze. World 1, I honestly have no idea why the mains used it so much, but it was hard not to get wrecked by mains on W1 or by clans with 100+ people.
There was also spies in the old times. The entire 'Honour vs No Honour' had strong influences on who was spying and who wasn't. Pretty much the top 4 teams had so many spies in each other, it was hard to tell who was who at times. It was a clusterbash almost every single time there was a trip.
For pures who kept their numbers below 20, it was also just as chaotic getting run-ins at hills or north of hills.
You have 5-7 worlds that everyone uses. Pures & mains alike. Then you have only Hills & gdz for teams with 20+ people. It was very concentrated. Also, people would go to rune rocks but that was such a bloody waste of time in my opinion.

@Boomer: It benefits you completely as you state. However, you will be alienated and viewed as an outcast by the larger majority who want to consider themselves 'honour pures'. You will have no e-respect with honour pures. You won't be allowed to carry teles in clan wars and if you do, you will most likely get booted out and your name will be blacklisted with all of the clans.
I personally sent around 20 or so people who we found out to be carrying teles and sent their names to every single clan I knew. As far as I know only the non-honour clans accepted the people and the honour teams auto-denied them.
If you're 'okay' with being viewed as an arrogant, ignorant, immature 12 year old by the other 12 year olds who play and consider themselves to be 'honour pures', then go for it. Tele and protect all you want. If you have any reputation on here or in-game it will eventually catch up with you and no one is going to care about you or your opinions.
Clans aren't like that anymore, Clans used to decline tellytubbies/prayfags and what more. Look how downhill it went, they accept basicly everything even 30 defence. It's 1 big joke. What happened to the old defenition pure = hp higher then combat...?
