I assume that Blizzard just hasn’t addressed this because they don’t know how low some players will stoop to get wins.
Players who are level 70 and geared/gearing in pvp will queue level 60’s bracket so that they can just steamroll the entire game against people who are queueing while leveling. Because they’re too garbage to actually win the game in their own bracket, so they literally queue into teams wearing questing greens so that they can win.
Please just stop this from being allowed because it ruins honor farms and leveling through bg’s in the 60’s bracket. People are too garbage to actually want to play against players their own level, so please block them from exploiting their way to wins because they’re too stupid to play the game as intended. Thanks!

At least nerf level 70s in lower brackets. It’s a cool idea to let friends play together but yeah it is not fun when they are basically twinks.

But WoW PvP is all about skill so why would it matter?
/s
It’s why I don’t pvp in that bracket. Just 1 geared can ruin the bg but usually there are at least 3 or 4 of them.

For real who thought this was a good idea?
Leveling battlegrounds are dreadful to play in.

This.
I actively avoid any bracket till I’m 70 but because between the MM hunters and the scaled 70s make it more of a headache than it’s worth.
I hate that, I hate it so much. I love leveling in BGs.

Where did I say I was quitting? It’s just annoying that horde players will literally premade level 60-69 bracket bgs at 70 because they’re too garbage to queue randoms at their own level. Players who do that should literally uninstall and go play candy crush or something
The irony of them disabling all set bonuses on gear after the patch for it to be relevant ends in order to stop twinking but then they allow this which is even worse version of twinking.

This has been a complaint since the introduction of party sync. So no, it’s not that they don’t know how it’s working.
When they removed twinking from leveling brackets back during BfA, they introduced party sync at the same time. It was the same time as essences. Top players needed to get legendary essences on all their alts, and being able to queue into leveling brackets made it easy for them to farm graveyards to get the massive amount of honor they needed. Remember, BfA was the expansion where the team with best PvE gear was pre-ordained to win.
Fast forward to Shadowlands, where players needed to farm honor to upgrade their gear many times. Randoms were full of players in top gear farming fresh 60’s to get their sweet upgrades for themselves and their carries, which they usually were paid in real money. Blizzard doubled down over and over again on this as participation for randoms tanked, and lots of players whose only interest was queueing for randoms left the game.
But it wouldn’t have been fair for top players to have to work to earn their rewards.
They took a step back, but the players who left over this and other bad Shadowlands implementations didn’t come back.
Their rewards are nerfed though, aren’t they? It discourages players from normally doing this, I’d imagine. I don’t know why they would do this though.
I think it’s time to take a step back examine PvP from a perspective of how to encourage more people to do PvP, rather than how to reward those who do rated PvP at the expense of the general playerbase.
People who like pushing keys are really enjoying this expansion. They keep saying that as long as blizzard keeps this up, eventually everybody will come back. I think it’s ridiculous to think that people who never did mythic+ dungeons are going to start doing them now, or that people who never wanted to do rated PvP and quit because Blizzard gave them no choice will be back.

Party sync BGs shouldn’t even be a thing.
Nobody is using it to “play with friends”, it’s just to get much easier matches because they can’t hold their own on equal footing at max level.

Better yet let’s remove PVP and all the game resources they waste. PvP in a tab target game is a joke…

Ya I agree remove PvE an all its wasted development time, M+ an Raiders are never happy anyway. An its ruining my pvp balance with all those scripted repeatable fights.
100% support this message.
“But we want to play with our friends that aren’t max level yet.”
- Well… Help them get to max level?..
“No way! I ain’t doin’ that! What a stupid idea!” (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

I’d support you focusing on your reading comprehension lol.
WoW is a primarily PVE focused game. It’s time we stopped wasting resources on a miniscule part of the player base know for it’s toxicity.
Plenty of PVP oriented games these players can play elsewhere.

I support ur nonsensical forum posting so congrats?
Pvp isnt anymore toxic then the pve setting hell its worse, between people shaming IO much like Arena rating.
Toxic leveling experiences in dungeons.
An my favorite, raiders berating one another over meaningless dps increases against literal bots.
Or dungeon runs where tanks zoom ahead an no one learns anything, because we faceroll entire wings of dungeons+boss.
Pve is a major part of the game while simultaneously being full of the worst kind of people. Yall even attack RPers and Solo content players.

This is the unfortunate part of leveling lol. Level 70’s dont have a gamebreaking advantage in this bracket i hate to break it to you. Most people arent equipped with gear based to thier level people usually have pieces they got 10 levels ago. Grab 2pc trinket bonus from oribos at 60. Just leveled an alt recently and farmed in that bracket for full honor gear when i hit cap. Another great tidbit. This doesnt change at cap there are just going to be people without gear in your games. Its usually the entire reason they are there in the first place.
