Re-implement Ilevel Max Cap to Lower BG Brackets
During the Frostmourne's progression BGs were segregated by gear by average Ilevel with a maximum Ilevel cap (as far as I could tell). You could not, for example, enter Frostmourne's Ulduar queues with Shadowmourne or other 284 weapons just because you tanked your average Ilevel below the threshold. As far as I could tell during Ulduar you could not equip anything above 245 (Val'anyr). This worked very well in conjunction with an average.
However, the newest implementation of segregated queues no longer looks at the maximum Ilevel of your character, it only seems to operate on average Ilevel. As a result in the lowest bracket I'm seeing this person (http://armory.warmane.com/character/...ecrown/summary) just dominate fresh 80s all day in the queue. I do think that twinking these queues is interesting and has sparked a lot of renewed interest in the game for me personally, but this is just lame. This isn't just being just a bit better itemized or a few ilevels better than the best geared Frostmourne players. This is just lame. This isn't fun. This isn't a new and interesting way to min-max the game at a certain limitation. This is just having insanely out-scaled weapons against mostly fresh 80s, or characters in T9/S6.
I think a maximum Ilevel cap (at a minimum on weapons since they scale damage the most, especially for physical damage classes) for the lower two brackets will help a lot to keep the brackets feel more balanced. Perhaps a 239 or 245 max for the lowest, and a 258 or 264 cap for the middle bracket.
