Honestly, i think its about lvling, and thats the reason why twinks have separate bg ques. Whether blizzard wants the admit this or not remains to be seen, but lets go back to the trial of the crusade patch wrath of the lich king. That patch added the merged battlegrounds, expon/off separation. It was worth a shot, and the twinks that existed played around with it and people were trying to make it work, but it wasn’t worth it in the wrong run.
It was like that for years. Come legion with stat templates, and the brackets were combined with xpon/off again, because they felt like it would be balanced. I still don’t agree at this point about that one. Pvp has never been balanced, high lvl or any level. The whole twinks vs non twinks debate is so laughable. It only became a problem because some people cant handle defeat, regardless of how they are defeated, unfairly or otherwise.
It creates a monopoly at low lvls for the levelers, and yet people still complain about other things. Boa twinks for example. The thing is, neither side is wrong or right. i personnaly feel like twinks have every right to exist within leveling bgs. It seems so stupid. Because a few people got butt hurt and facerolled, although it will happen to them at cap, but regardless, twinks are separated from the competition, and are in competition with themselves. I disagree, i mean ill put it this way. If were against twinks vs lvlers, then we should be against twinks vs max lvl 120 noobs as well. Its because of lvling, thats what makes it wrong.
Back in wrath of the lich king, gear and enchants and the game in general, especially at lower lvls was a lot harder to come by. I have seen all the arguments and that is one of them, that they aren’t on an even playing field. Neither is any level 120 in full greens vs a team of 120 full merciless glads 9000 gear either. The change either way is rediculous. Another argument i saw was that there arent many twinks. It was fueled by both sides but i mean, why are they separated if there aren’t many twinks.
I mean why even have low lvl pvp at all then. If we are just going to cry every time someone twinks us to death, its probably going to be a continuous thing all the way to lvl 120. The low lvls still have experienced vs noob players. Some players are leveling and some are not leveling. I really don’t agree that its about perfect balance. Its about separating those who are leveling, from those who aren’t. The Twinks being separated shouldn’t even be a thing. Players should just be oh well, i got killed. Instead, people told the devs to do something about it, even though nothing really needed to change, and blizzard did something, reverted the change in legion, and changed it back in bfa again. It never had to do with twinking for me. i just want to pvp at a lower lvl forever. Instead of solving it normally, they effectively cut twinks from the competition, because they aren’t leveling. Its about those whoa re leveling, and those who aren’t leveling. Anyone who had been in a twink only xpoff bg will tell you, they still get a ton of people turning off there exp who have no clue what they are doing. I think that blizz should remerge the bgs, because it adds a false sense as well for anyone who turns off their exp just willy nilly to finish a bracket without overlvling a quest zone or something. Then they are like , what gives, the pvp is like taking so long to pop, what gives? It doesn’t represent the game well either way. Anyone would interpret it as a new player, that they can pvp as well, just without lvling through the bracket. I dont think anyone would realize the brackets would be separated xpoff/xpon unless they did some research first.
