Very interesting thread here boasting that 80 twinks are having fun these days. Of course there may be a few 84 xp off guys ruining their day but whatever BGs seem to be mostly 80s and mostly fun. It does seem that you have to queue at the right time though. During off-peak hours you may not get into any BGs at all.

For those of you thinking let’s go to 84 and crush these 80s, that’ll work. At least for now. Some people on the thread claim 81-84 will soon get their own bracket but I think they’re basing that on what they want. I haven’t seen any evidence that Blizzard is actually considering this.

Interesting thread here with a few different perspectives on low level BGs. The biggest issues:

1. damage too high so easy to get 2 shot / die in seconds
2. Rogues are OP
3. caster BOA weapons are 900 times better than other stuff
4. CC is OP since people die so fast

The debate rages on. Should people leveling through BGs have to worry about BOA gear. Should randome quest, AH, and crafted greens give you a fair shot in low level BGs or should you need to do instances and find specific blue items and get the right enchants in order to compete?

Both sides are well represented in this thread.

A lot has changed in WoW and I now get xp for BGs and the BG daily quest. I like BGs much more than questing so it’s safe to say I’ll be doing some of this as I take my priest from 70-80.

Now my priest, Bakayoko, is funny. I’m a shadowweave tailor and was shadow in TBC when we were the awesome mana batteries everyone loved. So I’m pretty much all purple with the frozen shadoweave and spellstrike tailoring stuff.

My gloves, wrists, back, and belt (plus my staff) were blue though. The back I replaced with a 70 pvp epic Volanthius shroud.

Now I have to buy more pvp gear as I level up because I don’t want to hit the 75K honor cap. The question is when do I stop buying 70 pvp epics and start stocking up on items for level 80?

I don’t plan on hitting 80 all that soon so there may be upgrades in the gear I buy. I might buy something for honor points now only to find when I’m higher level that there’s a better one available.

I’ll also be able to craft the frostsavage pvp starter set (can’t wait to wear that in the 70-79 bracket at level 78 and kick some ass) – maybe I should be a 78-79 twink without the xp cap since it will take forever to level up doing a couple bgs a day anyway.

So my plan is to buy a few more 70 pvp items – belt might be next. But eventually I’ll do the 108 resilience medallion of the horde, another trinket, necklaces, and rings. And save up for level 80.

Almost a year ago now I complained about BGs and uneven teams. It seems like it would be pretty simple to let the same number of players join from each faction, but here we are 1 year later with the same complaint popping up daily.

Blizzard we know you’re making enough money to fix this. Now do you care about your game or not?
