Av didn’t go 51-59, till they added reinforcements, i think. In vanilla it was 51-60, Though 51’s could still take down 60’s i did it all the time on P servers while bashing my head to get icebarbed spear and unstoppable force pre 60.
Oh, thank you, you’ve jogged my dusty AV memories (for some reason I was thinking it was 51-60). Now I’m even more excited about classic. It’ll still take me quite a while to get to 51 though, heh.
Are you certain that the 2 AV brackets were post vanilla?
100%

Is one, i know 2.0.1 MAY of changed it, if you didn’t buy BC or some jazz.
For some reason Wowwiki doesn’t actually have the date, but 1.5-1.12 51’s where going up against them 60’s.
I think… It was WOTLK when it changed, uld patch or something?
(2009-09-22): Level 80 characters now have their own bracket and there is a separate bracket for characters that are levels 70 to 79. The level of the bosses in the brackets below level 80 will be reduced to compensate.

Well, huh…
I would love for them to eventually release TBC content, and then WotLK content, using the classic engine. I don’t know if that’s even possible, and I know that as the game evolved, the content evolved with the new systems that were introduced at the time, but while I’ve really enjoyed retail through pretty much each expansion (BfA took a while but I’m enjoying it now), BC really had much more of an RPG feel.
Ultimately, for me, it comes back to the talent tree system. The current system is…okay. But the old talent system is far better in my opinion if you’re looking for a replication of the old pen and paper RPG experience. And ultimately, that’s what I’m after in Classic. I know it might sound boring to the majority of gamers these days, but the old points-based system is something I really enjoyed.
I do realize how taxing it is, I’ve done it before on past private servers. That doesn’t invalidate what I’ve said about power creep going beyond Naxx. I do agree that most players will not obtain full BIS and I am in no way implying that it’s an easy thing to accomplish.
New 40 man dungeons don’t have to drop better gear then naxx, just different. Maybe some better some worse. Just new bosses would be fun… after 12 months of naxx that is.
