More facts you mean. turning off exp to grind gear is not in the best interest of leveling. so “grinding” gear to compete in any specific bracket outside of xpac locks, trial accounts and end game is a complete waste of time as it will be rendered useless by the next tier of content they will be progressing through…
if you lock it at 110 for an hour or 2 like i explained( or buy/make 225/233)youll only get upgrades as you pvp level to 120. the azerite pieces wont be replaced until after you hit 120.
You started without them pal, been a day+.
There is your solution right there, spot on. 
No sympathy for one of the most OP classes at 120.
They needed to remove twinks from leveling brackets so mythic raiders party sync-ing down to farm honor to get rank 4 PvP essences on their alts wouldn’t have to face anyone would could do actual PvP.

Sounds like you’re mad
i’m an eu player, i’ll happily link my char if you’d like?
this is classic blizzard gameplay.
like if u want a balanced game i would say try call of duty, blizzard games ahve always been wacky and zany and insannnnneeee dawgggggg
You don’t need to stop xp.
I just did some questing to get the three azerite spots filled. A couple TW a few weeks ago (not even needed as bg crates drop level appropriate gear).
I have like 60k hp and have had zero issues.
Oh and I had a wod trinket until last night. I went from 100 up with maybe ~3-4 hours doing anything besides bgs.
111-119 has a high disparity, but it’s not even 120s as a problem.
I’ve leveled 4 toons almost exclusively through bgs 111-119 and have zero issues since I do I minimum of work to not be completely undergeared.
It’s like players in the 30s bracket missing entire gear slots.

Here’s another alt ^
118 and nothing special. I enchanted my weapons for fun and it cost like 200g.
Again, 3 az spots filled.
Players coming in with sub 30k health only have themselves to blame if they get killed in an opener or one shadowdance.
Party sync is definitely broken lol I do it because all I have to do is pay to boost a 120 and boom I have the best gear when I sync down to the 119 bracket. Beats having to PVE for gear just so I can compete at 120.
Definitely OP though and should be nerfed.
You can and should do that if you wanna do fun bgs without having to farm weeks for cloak and corruption. Thing is you grind honor which is cool, but you don’t get any arena titles or rated bg stuff doing this.
I made a character just to turn exp off, but I didn’t realize I would be in my own bracket. What a dumb thing to do. So It’s either spend months at 120 acquiring the gear/corruptions/essences needed to pvp, or continue to make alts and be forced to do the leveling grind as you pvp. I literally can’t just pvp. All I want to do is pvp blizzard, why make it so hard?
I’ve noticed that once you’re over 50-60 almost every class has 90% of their abilities.
If you’ve got enchanted looms, you can spam queue bgs all the way up to 110, stopping here or there to buy gear with honor tokens.
Can get BC gear at 70 from Area 52, wrath from sa sewers at 80, cata at 85, mop 90, so on.
All can be purchased with honor tokens to fill non heirloom slots, and if you’re an int or agi class you can buy gems in sw / org with tokens as well to socket.
All of this is of course subject to change in the next few weeks with 9.0 anyway.
I’m with you, level cap bgs are not really fun, even with my fully geared toons. Too much random damage from random things (corruption/ essences). And if you’re fresh it’s a horrific gap and gear grind.
The whole 120 thing is meh to me. I’m at 119 and 2-3 shorting anything including 120s (they take maybe 4-5).
Incendiary ammo is more op than being 120 imo. Hits for like 15-20k on top of my aimer shots for 20k+
How is the competitive aspect of 111-119s bracket?
Good premade vs premade (Sync vs sync) games going strong?
Do teams faction swap to keep it competitive?
Sounds like a Template players heaven, if I didn’t have so much fun with Corruptions/Traits and Builds at 120 in BGs it would definitely sound interesting.
Just finished leveling through 110-119. That was such a miserable experience.
Every single bg was filled to the brim with 120s, specifically ally side. Its unplayable.
Idk why people say this. Horde have just as many 120’s as alliance in that bracket. In fact most horde premades ive seen in the 119 bracket are from your server.
I think most people just don’t pay attention to whether or not they have 120s on their team and only notice the 120s on the other team after they’ve been killed by them.
I mean maybe its the common denomiator being me but I think out of the 40+ bgs I played I won about…4?
I rarely saw any 120 horde in the games I was playing. The damage board was painted blue. Feel free to bg a horde toon right now in the 110 bracket. Maybe youd have better luck.
110 is its own bracket. those were legion geared (250 ilevel or so) 110’s on capped accounts smashing you. they don’t have access to azerite gear but have high end antorus stuff with set bonuses.
on a side note if you were to be geared like them at 110 then add in azerite gear syncd 120’s woudnt be a problem in 111-119.
From 110-119 I saw numerous 120’s in the bracket every single match.
For example, just because the name sticks out to me and I remember it:
This character was in roughly half or more of the matches I was in. Their gear isn’t amazing, but due to whatever messed up scaling is in place they were hitting people for nearly (if not all) of their health with one aimed shot.
120s either need to have their scaling gutted or they need to get out of leveling battlegrounds. It won’t fix everything, but right now its literal GROUPS of 120s in that bracket because they are juggernauts.
If it wasn’t broken you wouldn’t see so many people doing it. No one would be joining in droves if you were a limp noodle.
