From my personal experience the 60 bracket simply isn’t very fun. Because it is full of people who want to max honor or grind rep rewards. When the bracket is full of people trying to max honor it leads to: rampant bots, AFK or low effort play if you are losing, and avoiding actual PvP to have quick games. The lower level brackets don’t have these issues. Because most people are playing for fun. So what results is lots of really amazing games with long epic PvP battles. The low lvl community is also much smaller so you are able to build strong ties with allies and strong rivalries against foes that you see repeatedly. 60 PvP just doesn’t offer the same experience as low level PvP.

if this is the case why do you not just fight levelers geared as they are, in greens? why twink at all? why farm BiS for a lowbie bracket? because the reality is you want an advantage which is why you guys spend so much time and gold. denying that isn’t a good look.
Nah, make it longer! No Cross-Realm BGs!

look at my profile and you’ll see an orc in WQ gear. i’m not farming tons of gold to try to overpower anyone. i pvp, when i do, in WQ gear. i’m not the competitive type that tries to ruin others fun by being op. sorry.
but why is it okay for level 60s to farm BiS gear and then smash level 51-60s in AV?

the game is balanced around max level. if you want competitive games and to gear up in BiS you should be playing at max. once naxx is out you’ll have your never changing BiS gear with no further treadmill. isn’t that what you guys claim to want?
if they would FOR ONCE be honest about wanting to wreck levelers i’d have more respect for them. but they always talk about competitiveness etc which everyone else knows is a load of tauren dung.

This is a lie, 3-4 minutes to get into a game post split, are the rest of your numbers BS as well?
why should I be doing at max level instead of level 29, 39 or 49? please tell me. I need a good laugh.

If you’re not having fun, just leave.
Why are you asking for the opinion of the forums?
You filthy RNG monster !!!
i don’t pvp in classic because i know from my stint in low level retail bgs in that time frame that it’s nothing but a hot mess going against twinks when you can’t even fight back. i pvp in retail though because it’s actually fair. i imagine a lot of people who refuse to twink are ignoring bgs as well.
Because they want to play for fun, not for honor
'Tis true. Sometimes, I hold out hope that things will be OK.
It’s kind of how it works, dear 
I hear your arguments, but am still skeptical. If people were playing for just fun, then they would bring level 29 toons in to pvp with what most people would consider “normal gear” for a level 29. They would not be spending 4k gold for twink gear and crusader enchants if they only wanted to play for fun. This started as people who love 5v1’ing lowbies to feel powerful and may have eventually evolved in to a state where everyone in the bracket is twinking (because you ran all the non twinks off). I don’t think ANYONE that min/maxes to that kind of extent is playing for just fun.
I wear normal gear in these low level brackets - I don’t twink. 
I think it’s only fair - most twinks back pedal and aren’t that great.
But in all honestly, there will always be people who strive to get an edge over others (that’s why in retail, many players play FotM classes), and other players don’t like to be at a disadvantage, so they will reciprocate.
Honestly, in the end, for the 19 bracket, over half the players twink and most try to play for the win, which makes it more enjoyable than how level 60 plays out.
So r14 warriors with 2-3 healbots smashing level 51-59s in AV is fine though?

This is mindlessly unproductive. I am ally and this change is bad for everyone.
Thanks
