I dont know, how the split works between high GS and low GS BG-s, but my warlock is 4980 GS, my pala is 5030 GS, the warlock goes in to the lower part and the pala goes to the higher part (i think because of pve gear) but honestly i stopped to play BG with my paladin.
There are nearly 80% BIS characters after 5.0-5.1K GS it is not fun to play it after. Not fun and not even worth to play, just for the first win / day.
I think this is a kick in the balls, if you dont have BIS character or atleast 5.8-6.0k character. (or lvl 80 low GS twink, with BIS weapon...)
My Pala is now worthless in BG, my shaman is 5.2k worthless, my priest is about the same GS and worthless, cant heal, cant do dmg, because of the GS gap between me and most of the other players.
There are no reason to play with them anymore after the first win, there is literally 0 fun in the game now, im 3-4 seconds for every BIS players and 70-80% of the players BIS or close to BIS
Before this "balance" i could play battles which were fun, there were a lot of different GS players so i could find a worthy and challenging target.
Now everytime i join i sit in the graveyard for the 60% of the battle, about 4-5 seconds after im in combat...
Are there any chance they change it back, or the pvp is doomed for newer players?
