Suggestion to Improve Low-Level Battlegrounds on Warmane
I’d really love to see battlegrounds while leveling become an actual fun and viable thing to do.
Right now, most active brackets are full of twinks from all servers. From my experience, if you join a BG as a non-twink — even if you’re at the top of the bracket lvl wise (like level 69) — you often get flamed by your own team. An alarming amount of twinks get insanely toxic and start insulting you just because you’re not fully optimized like they are.
It honestly feels like, by their logic, normal players just aren’t supposed to enjoy BGs while leveling. They only want twinks on their team… but I guess that standard doesn’t apply to the enemy team?
So here’s a genuine question to the community (especially the twink community) :
Why not separate XP-locked players into their own bracket? If locking XP below max level put you in a twink-only queue, you’d be playing against other geared and optimized players. Would that really ruin the experience for you? Not being able to oneshot people? Or would it actually make things more competitive and fun for you?
On top of that, I’d love to see a small incentive system added. Some servers give a bit of XP and maybe a small loot bag for winning BGs. Nothing crazy, nothing better than questing or dungeons, but at least enough to make it a real alternative. It would help with gold for spells and some basic gear upgrades while leveling.
I think something like this would be amazing, especially on newer or still-leveling servers like Onyxia. PvP while leveling could actually feel rewarding and source for a ton of fun instead of frustrating. My personal friend group and I would probably never stop making alts if that was the case.
Note that this is all obviously based on my personal opinion and experience, but I’m genuinely curious what others think, especially people who actively twink.
Let me know your honest thoughts.
