BG 30-39 absolutely utterly vomitworthy

[ILikeEggs]

I've been playing my first real BGs (WSG) in the 30-39 bracket, now I'm 36 (priest, specced for PvP heal).

It's absolutely fucking *SHIT*.

I understand now why people spec 19 twinks. It's because higher level BGs are absolutey fucking shit tedious as fuck. As the levels go up, classes obtain more and more interrupt abilities and hey hey, combat becomes absolutely fucking tedious as shit. Constant interrupts is *NOT FUN*. It's agonizingly frustrating and then - just to give that extra final touch of stupid fucking pointelessness of it all - you die *without being able to do anything AT ALL*. Not cast, not attack, not even move.

The PvP experience is this - meet enemy; uninterrupted stuns/silence/fears/interrupts then death.

I am actually *unable to cast or do ANYTHING* followed by death.

That's it. BG 30-39.

What's the POINT? the fun quotient is nil. Zero. Nul points. The designers are crack smoking monkies on acid. What were they THINKING?! apart from gibberinng at the pretty pictures while working on game balance.

I'm sure the people shitting on you over and over again are having a blast tho.

49 bracket is too volatile in vanilla. Too many people level out when they cap 49 rank and it's not like going 1-49 is a walk in the park. It's like pulling teeth even if you have people tap leveling you all the way. 19 and 29s bracket chars are made without ranking in mind.

49 bracket in vanilla is super warrior heavy too. Could probably win every single game with 4 war 4 pally 1 priest 1 mage, but that's probably true in 39 too... minus cleanse and bosac and with 20s intercept/flurry pendulum fury wars instead of execleaver/MS.

Hardly the bracket's fault really, but I get what you're saying it doesn't have the same stable player base as 19/29/39. Still 49 has always been my favorite for several reasons and is in my opinion the perfect bracket for you to learn and get good at PvP before 60.
1) Mount: Arguably better at 49 than at 60 because the amount of people that don't have mount at 49 is much smaller than the amount of players that don't have epic riding at 60. Allowing for more balanced games. At the same time mount makes a huge difference compared to the non mounted brackets where classes with move speed abilities just had the upper hand.
2) Most of the abilities are unlocked at this point, you have 40 talent points to spend at lvl 49 which means you get to skill that 31 point talent if you so choose. Which, again is perfect practice for end game PvP, you get to learn how to play and counter each class you'll end up facing later on.
3) Gear: ZF, Mara and ST (if you can get into it) offer excellent and easy to obtain gear choices for almost all classes. Along with some BoEs it there is a wide range of gear available for all classes.
