Arent going they to combine all servers eventually for BGs? Or was that for DF? Or did I just make that up?

AB at level 10 is a little intense with no mount. Lots of running around.

If it doesn't hurt the queue times, excellent and needed change. If it does cause long queues I would like to see it replaced with a system like Warhammer (I know, hold the guffaws for just a sec--) had where lowbies in the bracket got boosted up a bit, like others have mentioned before.



Should be hopefully good for a bit but, they are adding more brackets and more BG's, really spreads out the population more.

Now they have to re-fix Wintergrasp.

I haven't seen a bg queue pop in over a week. Of course I've only waited 15-20min per try.

I think this change is great for leveling player but... what do twinks think of this? Does this suddenly make the 64, 74, etc better then 69 or 79 for certain classes because of some spell you got?

Well that's not very promising. Small sample size but that is part of the possible downside to this to keep an eye on.

I trust everything I read on the internet.

I don't know that BGs were playable if your character was -9 levels to the players at the top of the bracket. Levels, stats, gear and additional spells make even a 5 level difference hard to overcome. I understand that people like that type of challenge, but I'm not really sure why.

I don't understand why people like being put at a disadvantage where they're likely to loose 95% of the time.
