Call to Arms: Level 50-59 Battlegrounds!

Hello everyone!

Despite 5k people online, there haven't been almost any games in this bracket today, the average wait time has been unavailable and the amount of games even during AB weekend has been really low. During last week there were dozens of games, instant ques, fierce battles and epic times every day! From what I've understood, the main reason for this change is that the core Alliance 50-59 group dinged 60 after last week's reset and that's why it has been so dry this week.

Therefore I propose the following: 50-59 Allies, go on and form a solid new group, que up and let's clash in the Battlegrounds!

Victory or death!

The Hord wins every game (most of them are rank 7 or higher). They just want you to quere to get some free honor.
As an Alliance player I can recommend to ignore the 50-59 bracket and go for level 60.

It's because there are no alliance players at these levels. We either reached 60 or got stuck at 48-50 camped to death 24/7.

It is pretty much dead at this point,alliance just refuse to join... maybe they were just shocked to see some competent healers and dispellers on a horde team ? maybe they just want instant que at 60
(can't blame them for that) or just got bored of losing all the time in 50/59 bracket but since last week the Bracket is fucking dead.
2 games in 12 hours yesterday which is bloody amazing if the server has 5/6 k players? you would have thought that even with horde 60s farming lowbies for HKs there would still be plenty of 50/59 alliance to join the Bracket but they either gave up or moved on to 60 PvP

This server needs AV asap it's our only hope.

I never understood why anyone would do BG's so close to the level gap. What's special about 50-59?

1.It is the fairest bracket for PvP before the gear gap/gear scaling gets too crazy.
2.You have most if not all spell/abilties except a few like freeze trap at 60 lasting 20 secs instead of 15 secs for example
3. It is legit fun when you get some decent games going
4. Just ask any 60 how they are enjoying nost 60 PvP
5. PvP armor sets
6. free epic mount before 60

The following reasons (in my opinion):

- You basically get as much honor per game as you do from 60 bracket games.
- NO PREMADES -> fair games and no AFKers.
- When there's enough people queuing on both sides you get instant ques basically all the time (as opposed to 30-45min queues on Horde side atm on 60).
- 8g epic mount at rank 11, usable with level 75 riding skill.
- Gear difference is lower than in the 60 bracket (for example full BiS geared HC players vs. just dinged greengeared noobs) -> games are more equal and fun!

My two cents. So all we need is enough people queuing on both sides and we're set for glory! ;)

OK, so we just hit 9k population record on the server aaaand... nope, not enough Alliance members to start one WSG.

I'm sad :cry:
