I want to bring attention to a toxic situation happening in lower level pvp brackets, specifically the 61-69 bracket. Certain players are exploiting the game by getting what I and reddit believes to be timewalking gear passed down from a friend from timewalking raids or anniversary events. These 69’s are farming gear with xp off and somehow getting 424 ilvl gear, and then turning xp off and re-entering bg’s. Since they are 69 their gear isn’t scaling down. I have provided a link to two different charecters my friends and I ran into yesterday while doing BG’s to level. https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/character/us/tichondrius/baboerben/ https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/character/us/tichondrius/kongnijiwa
This issue needs to be addressed because the warrior for example had over 500k health whereas the average player base only has 150-200k health. This single player was able to solo our entire team and farm us at GY for the entire event.
Blues don’t really seem to frequent this forum.
You might get more of a response if you send a tweet to @WarcraftDevs or maybe if you submit a bug report:
Theirs no scaling anymore. This is so the “pvprs” can slaughter “noobs” in “pvp” combat. This was done when shadowlands hit. Working as intended.
how dare they play the game in a way you don’t approve!
Well, if you’re in your own level bracket you don’t scale, but if you play down on a 70 you scale down. Basic honor gear at 70 is lower than the gear these 69’s are exploiting.
People trying to level and be able to get gear when they hit 70 getting destroyed in BGs by fully geared lvl 70s is a joke. Kind of a dumb response from you honestly
these aren’t syncd 70’s.
Either way its breaking game play for an entire bracket and should be removed. Theres no point to it other then people who are bad and need a handicap to beat people. We already have DHs for this.
Xpoff is not approved by any player except the ones using the exploit.
its not being used in bgs(fixed a few weeks ago)so these players are getting xp like everyone else. leaving the bg before its over isnt an exploit.
Fixes don’t show up in the lower brackets for months/years. Just stay away from low level PVP, it isn’t balanced or fun
I think it is, why would they leave if it wasn’t an exploit? I recall leveling this toon and seeing players like this leaving right before the battleground ended.
Sadly Blizzard doesn’t care about any exploits that occur in PvP unless it happens in one of their tournaments.
Hence people with xp off can do infinite bgs with the party sync and group xp off exploits.
the obvious answer is to get less xp. they get a 15 min debuff just like everyone else. this entire thread is about the max level of gear available to level 58/59 and how players at the bottom of the bracket can’t compete.
the pvp forum wont get it fixed and the OP knows it. this is their second or 3rd post on the subject and it belongs in the bug forum.
Oh they fixed it? That’s good news. It took 6 years but better late than never. Well I guess it’s a bug then.
Level 30 bracket and https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/character/us/bleeding-hollow/xmaximuz was in it. Level 70 paladin sync’d with someone in party cause he sucks that bad at pvp to go into a level 70 battleground.
If you are playing the 30 bracket, gearing up becomes ultimately one of the most efficient areas of the game for it.
There are several different PVP Vendors who sell various pieces of Item Level 115 Epics with Gem Slots and ideal PVP stats!
Wrath Dalaran is a good start, main floor and below. AB/WSG/AV vendor is also a worth a look for off pcs+
