Let me get this straight

“rising up to the level” rarely takes the form of even the minimum amout of effort when you’re using bg’s to level.

I’ll quote myself from another thread on this topic:

Just yesterday, I inspected a 19 twink who had nearly 50% more health than this character had at 19 with enchanted heirlooms and all.

People will compare one enchanted heirloom to one popular BiS piece in a vacuum and suggest that they’re similar. They conveniently ‘forget’ that:

• Small stat differences per slot culminate into a large difference where every slot is factored
• Most players would not enchant non-heirloom slots, of which there are many (why would they? The gear will be replaced in a matter of hours, not days)
• Most players lack heirloom rings
• Heirloom trinkets are horrendous
• Most players lack versatility at lower levels and wear crit in abundance (a stunted stat in PvP)
• As another poster said, the gap widens in later brackets where ridiculous pieces with three gem slots each become usable

I don’t buy the “it’s easy to compete with twinks” bit. We’re talking about people who shut their experience off and go dungeon diving for weeks to get the best possible gear for a bracket that they sit in forever. No one else is going to do that because no one else is going to be in the one bracket forever before endgame.
