I had the weapon on this toon that was 1.8 and think the only thing I was missing was the shoulders at 2k. It was not a full set of gear at 1.8 or 2.1. It was like one piece per bracket. This system is bonkers compared to that. I remember trying to break 1.8 and seeing all the warriors with their big weapon and how much it hurt. But again, it was just the weapon yet made a pretty big difference. Now I have to fight 230+ people on my 213ish toons constantly.
MoP was by far the best and I wish they would drop all the ranks and just give us honor and conquest gear. I didnât play WoD or much Legion really, came back to BFA and ended up doing 15s every week (not what I would choose to do EVER) to be able to be competitive. At least last xpac I could get BiS gear, this xpac, if you canât break 2.1 then you are essentially undergeared if you can push over like 1.6.

I donât think they ever pop. I think twinks either quit the game or switched to playable characters.
I havenât seen twink ques be busy since cata in the 70 bracket, man that was fun.

lol your name is hilarious
and level 60!
Yea, and what sucks is that the battlegrounds are the best part of this game and itâs the only reason I kept playing when I switched over to WoW from EverCrack in 2007. In todayâs battlegrounds you are just fodder as a casual player wanting to do some BGs and have some fun, youâre just a speedbump. Itâs stupid, Blizzard your decisions for PVP are a perfect example of things you do that make people want to quit this game. Thereâs no skill in fights where youâre being one or two shotted.

I donât mind being one or 2 shotted as long as I can do the same. I like fast paced pvp. Much better than giving up a fight because my fingures are starting to hurt from fighting for 5 minutes with nothing dying.
But you getting 2 shot by someone vs whom you can tee off fully buffed chaos bolts on and never dent their HPs is BS.

gear imbalance? how about also the systems and borrowed power gaps??? its insane the amount of work you need to compete at all in pvp.

Renown has too much stamina bonuses tied to it which makes PVP gearing feel worse.
What they should do is tie in extra stamina bonuses for players lower than X ilevel in instanced PVP.
Maybe that might make tanks wear more lower PVP gear pieces but that is a smaller problem to deal with than the current bigger problem.

The stamina bonus from renown affects you know matter where you get your gear from.
Right but renown grinding through PVE is simply faster.

Its okay to die in a battleground the important thing is you tried.
I tried really hard! it didnt seem to do muchâŚ
I canât bring myself to âLikeâ this statement, but it is 100% true. I just made the mistake of queuing for a BG at level 50. What an absolute ratsâ den of cancerous gameplay.
No they just know ways around it. You donât think they want to all that trouble to fight other twinks, do you?

Boosted greens never worked when this game was top dog.
Um, Iâm pretty sure heavily undergeared people have always gotten demolished in this game, low lvl or not.
It depends on how you approach this situation: You can join the forum whine club or decide youâll get to that point where you are the one deleting others.
There are other factors at play though, back when I started playing and was getting obliterated I was hooked on the game, I wanted to do w/e it takes to be the one killing people.
Itâs rather hard to get hooked on Shadowlands.
