If you let us know whether you shift brackets at 30 or at 31, that would be interesting to know too.

At 30, I'm seeing players on both sides with apparently no honor level cap. It varies tremendously from 33 to 88 to 157 to...

30 appears to be the cutoff. It's also worth noting that I haven't lost a BG since getting there and I've ran about six; three regular and three epic. Just a small sample size and I'm in discord with a friend. Some, but not all, were very close matches too.

Edit: My buddy is at a pretty low honor level so he isn't the reason we're being matched with HL 100+ players, I am.

Thanks. Sounds like the cutoff is between 29 and 30, not between 30 and 31, something I wasn't sure about.

I'm pretty sure there is no additional cutoff, or we wouldn't be seeing the occasional 200s and 300s. I occasionally see battlegrounds with the full range of honor levels at trough times, so I think if there aren't enough in queue to make bracketed battlegrounds in a reasonable amount of time, we'll be mixed together to avoid excessive queue lengths. I suppose it's possible that once there are enough people above the next breakpoint, if there is one, we'l see another bracket created.

I still think Conquest would be a better way to break up the brackets this expansion, but it's good to know how it actually works, too.
