Hi. I have been running around Twilight Highlands this morning and decided to jump in the BG queues to get some honor towards endevors and to take a break from the grind there. I’ve been in the queues for about 71 minutes. Usually these lower-level bgs would pop in 30-45 minutes at most. But I have been leveling a lot, I went from 43 to 48 in that hour.
So, I was wondering if there is some kind reset when you level that could be making it take longer? Or is just nobody in the 1 million wow players actually queing for level 49 bg right now on a prime-time sat morning?
There are brackets IIRC for levels, so yes leveling might push you into a new, lower populated bracket.

Okay Ill try sitting tigt
Okay thanks. I’ll sit tight and harvest wood for a while. See how that works.
So, it used to keep you in the same bracket back in the day, even if you levelled-
I distinctly remember hitting level 20 from 19, learning my mount, and being a level 20 with a mount in a 10-19 bracket battleground, with players laughing and saying “What the hell” and whatnot, back in the day.
It doesn’t do this anymore- if you level, you are kicked out of PvP queue generally.
Maybe that’s only from hitting a new level bracket, as in every 10 levels or so, but idk, it’s been forever since I’ve levelled an alt and done lower lvl bgs.
PvP itself used to be a great way to level and grind honor, too.
But it’s since been nerfed repeatedly over the years, and also people grouping with their higher lvl friends in low lvl PvP (while being fully maxxed out and geared) also ruined it.
