Bring Twink Queues Back

Or, instead of continuing to try to lower the bar, we could raise it. Make a minimum level of gear to enter. Trust me, people who can’t be bothered to improve their gear at all, aren’t going to “win by skill” anyway.

That’s exactly what this suggestion is about:

@Welfarê-silvermoon

Set a minimum ilevel requirement that must be met in order for you to participate within instanced PvP

@Zycci-whisperwind

What’s next, penalize raiders for having raid gear better than yours or arena geared players in max level bgs? No, up your game instead of trying to downgrade others who earned what they have. You can earn the same stuff.

Noone is seeking to penalise high performers. What they’re seeking is to penalise psychopaths who turn xp off with the intention to abuse gear advantage infinitely. Introducing an iL cap on all gear pieces inside PvP Instance for those who have xp set to “off” will cause these sc@mbags to fade into thin air because they won’t be able to get 2 shot freekills infinitely anymore:

@Tarjana-amanthul

Set an item level cap within Instanced PvP on each gear piece for xp-off characters to a heirloom baseline for that character level

It will only affect those who made a conscious decision to turn their xp off and abuse the gear advantage indefinitely inside PvP Instances!
It will not affect normal players, who will not have gear pieces above heirloom baseline in any PvP bracket below max level one. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
It will not affect twinks that deck out in top gear but keep their xp on. They can continue enjoy stomping scrubs, but for a limited time, as they will level out into next level bracket, and will have to re-BiS before resuming their carnage.
It will not affect ethical twinks who want their xp set to off but also do not want to have their gear downscaled inside PvP Instances. They can play wargames vs other twinks, where everyones gear will be completely unaffected.
The only ones who will be affected are graveyard farming maniacs who live to stomp the living life out of undergeared scrubs infinitely, compromising the twink community in the process, by causing massive qq from scrubs and providing a basis for idiotic suggestions like dividing the brackets again, which scarily enough doesn’t sound so idiotic because the minimum and maximum gear disparity in most brackets inside PvP Instances is still a cruel joke, albeit not as bad as 80-84 bracket back in MoP days where you had people in level 70 end gear vs people in level 85 end gear (MoP lvl 80 world drop blues had a same iL as heroic 85 purples) but its still bad.
