WotLK IceCrown Battlegrounds bracket....

[Jebenijoja]

is the stupidest thing you will ever find in any game. eeeey i have leveled my mage 80lvl, everything fine, started doing bgs awful in pvp , my gs was 2800, everyone destroying me. Alright i will wait my turn, btw everyone is 4k to 5k gs at that time. Im playing everynight struggling and the second i got my gear 4.8k gs, and my ilvl is also 220 something and was finally able to play against these guys that have been torturing me. And guess what after 3 games i got matched with blackrock players, that just click once and get 5.5k gs and come to bgs to destroy me again after i have been playing for days to get somewhat gear to play normal bg, AGAIN in ****housery getting absolutely cooked.

Same happend to me too, when I was fresh 80 I was against 4k gs and more, when I got to 4,7kgs they moved we to Blackrock bracket, where everyone was 5,5k so when I got to 5,2k, and saw happy to finally have a chance they moved me to bis bracket lol, it is so stupidly made, I think it's so people who buy gear can feel strong lol, it's stupid, same as matching random vs premade groups, but this is only Wotlk server so it is what it is, try arena, your first fight with 0 rating will be against fresh Black rock team with 5,5k gs lol or even bis donators, I play on Lorda so it's harder to gear up.

The server is in 3.3.5 and it's a private server. Did you expect to queue and get 79 other players with 2800 gs?

The match making system taking average gear and matching players closely is a concept developed by Blizzard in 2007. Did you want them to match you with players within 50 of your gear score and sit in queue for 5 hours? Did you want them to remove the brackets and play against 6.9k gs shadowmourne rets? Think through it just a little bit.

So how do you propose people get into pvp then? Trying to gear through battlegrounds is the most unfun experience. You are cannon fodder for weeks until you can actually get some decent enough resilience to not get one shot. Why are people at 5k gs fighting against people in full bis? The bracket doesnt work if people with 5k gs are fighting shadowmournes.

I also asked this question in this thread https://forum.warmane.com/showthread.php?t=479381. This system with the crossover with the FAN server is absolutely stupid. It's like putting a race car driven by a disabled person against a professional runner. One achieves results through perseverance and hard work, while the other simply gets into the car for the first time and presses the gas pedal. Maybe the administration will just introduce a BG where the doors won't open, and the players will just sit at the base for 15 minutes, and then everyone will just be counted as a winner? I won't even mention multiboxing, when you get 7 shadow priests in a BG who all simultaneously cast 7 DoTs on you and you're sent to the graveyard in a second. Where are those cool servers from 2009, when all this crap was banned?

Just a quick question, it would be hard to create a system with ranked bg? like retail, banning the premades.

I think that if is not hard to do it, will be a good improve for the pvp experience on the server.
