Surprize news: slash the playerbase substantially and you can only queue your wargames by appointment.
That a twink is still arguing that xp-off is viable after it was quite proven to the contrary? That’s just disappointing.

I personally just think there are no solutions, at least no practical solutions as of yet. Wow is an mmo, with multi-millions of players playing the game. It is impossible to balance and keep every single player happy. Once upon a time, you could log in, and pvp to your hearts content, at any level. You went to the battleground areas of the barrens and arathi highlands, and qued. No experience gained. You could experiment with different gear sets, skills, abilities talents, etc. Players had been complaining about those types of players for years, yet people like me, just don’t understand the arguments. It is fun to play at lvl 19 and pvp, and it is fun to pvp 120. It is different though, beyond just lvl. Different skills, talents abilities skills and in some cases, classes that weren’t around for a while. What does not change, is the means of getting gear, and best in slot, or bis for short, and enchants The goal the deck your character out remains the same. Regardless of whether blizzard merges or unmerges battleground ques, ill always have a reason to pvp at low lvls and to lvl and pvp at the max. I ask the question though, what exactly is different about max lvl pvp, besides the previously mentioned skills and abilities and talents i mentioned earlier? Thats what makes it fun, at least for me it does, to experiment with those. One less talent at lvl 19 vs lvl 100 makes a completely different way to play and pvp with the class at said lvls. What isn’t different, is the means of gearing up for pvp. You still want to pvp at 120 with the best gear, without question. The question i pose is, why is it wrong to gear yourself and enchant yourself to the best of your abilities at low lvls, and pvp at low lvls forever with a different set up of skills, talents, abilities, etc, but it isn’t wrong at max level? I don’t have a clue. some might say, well people at 120 have had longer time playing, so they know what they are doing at 120. Yes. I am sure that absolutely no noobs exist at max level. Not a single one. There are noobs and wedding crashers in all aspects of this game. Blizzard tends to prioritize which ones they like and dislike, regardless of how hypocritical they might be about it sometimes. The white knights and feminists just have to scream that it isn’t fair and things sometimes change. Not always.
Blizzard doesn’t always change things that are unfair and op. For example, wow still has gear to raid for and its unfair that some players can get really good gear but others cant. Raid finder was a semi solution, to both the experience and getting gear. anything mythic or mythic plus is still pretty challenging to do though, but your not getting the best gear, but lets say, you do a raid finder. Raid finder genneraly gives out mediocre gear, but lets say you do a raid finder. Blizzard starts adding sub mythic plus elements to raid finder, and then adds a 10 percent chance to getting a mythic plus piece of gear, and on top of that, filters out the other options, so you don’t get 2 helms or 10 robes in a few runs for example. There are still players who wouldn’t dream of doing mythic plus, and wouldn’t be able to anyway, but i guarantee this would irritate the players at the top. I mean, if you could do basic work for mythic pluss gear in a raidfinder setting with some mythic plus principles thrown in, why would you even attempt mythic plus. No one would be doing mythic plus as often anymore.
Pvp at low levels will become devoid of twinks. The long que times and inevitablity of the twinking scene will eventually turn into inevitability for the most part, and only open up at specific times, and drop que times the rest of the day. I don’t have the time to do the niche thing i liked doing, for 6 hours or however long the que times will be. Im just one of those players. I mean, i wasnt one of those players back in vanilla arguing for an infinite stream of raid gear. I was like, you know, i suck at this game, i don’t deserve this gear. That is how it should be. Same thing with pvp. If you suck at pvp, you suck at pvp and you gonna get ganked. It should be as simple as that, but it isn’t. Im just trying to explain perspectively why i think these changes often get made to this game, and to everything else in life. Will i still be playing, absolutely. I want to see this game succeed. Blizzard needs to prioritize the changes they make. A blizzard employee could tell me that these changes were made because they wanted to make it, but i don’t agree. The whole twink lvling vs lvling, merged vs unmerged change is a result of the consumers. Like i said previously, blizzard prioritizes what is fair and what isn’t fair, and what changes and what doesn’t change. Pvp is a large part of the game, and its sensitivity is understood, and so blizzard made a change to how queing works based on whether your xp is on or off.
In summary, i don’t think that separating the battleground ques will fix anything. The levelers will be happy, but anyone who plays battlegrounds at low lvls forever, to twink or otherwise, will find only certain brackets thriving at certain times, and the rest are left empty. Changes typically tend to drive people nuts and learning how to be objective about it is key. I just think that this change is rediculous. To tell people for like 6 years from wrath until legion oh, its not ok to pvp merged with your exp on, but then change it again to merge again with xpon/off, then to change that 2 years later, just doesn’t make any sense. Hopefully, someday soon, i can que whenever i want to, regardless of whether i want to level or not, and still be pitted against people of all skill levels, regardless of what level i am. The main point to take out of this, is i feel we need to try another solution. It might not work, but doing the separation xpon/off thing didnt work last time, and it might not work this time either. I definitely feel there is a more practical approach to this problem, we just have to brainstorm. I mean, as much fun as sitting in 3 hour ques is, i don’t feel like doing that again. There has to be another solution. One that will have the most amount of people satisfied. I just don’t think the xpon/off separation is the most practical. It just does not work.
