I know most people don't necessarily care about twinking, but anyone that does, this is an open discussion about any concerns anyone might have about the 70-74 bracket.
I want us to kind of coagulate in a sense that we will turn this bracket into a strong community that will have a constant fair bracket that is solid in the sense of balance, making it fun for everyone. :)
My concerns specifically is the imbalance in population of twinks. There are clearly way too many on the alliance side and we need more on the horde, even newcomer twinks would really help us out. *Cough* HEALS *Cough*
What are your concerns?
horde has one of the best geared twink guilds TwinkleTwinkleLittleStar , when i had my 74 twink i saw their members in most of the bgs , and they were all decked out in pve gear with sockets. Whenever theyre on its very one sided , they just one shot everything .Neither side can get new gear now so.
*MY CONCERNS *
-Battleground queue bug kills a lot of the fun and makes you miss 60% plus of the games , you can get this up to two hours in a row
-Old raids closed and vote shop opening without lv70 items killed any kind of twinking because you cant any gear one way of the other - THE END

On some days, we like to gear our twinks more , where we will ahve around 5 twinks in a bg to cary everyone for a couple hours. For the rest of the day that is not the case, as we all have limited time, and most of the time our numbers online are very low (around 4-7 during the day, not all of them 70-74 twinks) and literally 1-2 at night. I constantly keep on hearing complains from everyone in the bgs i am in throughout the day about how allies keep on rekking the lows. What we have in skill, we lack in numbers, and that's what the alliance have. we have absoluelty no healers on our side at the moment, maybe someone will switch specs here and there for a rare bg to balance it out, but the fact is the alliance has the upper hand in strict numbers and are devastating the bgs 80% of the time. You my friend must be unlucky enough to be part of the 20% that join when we are carrying and are struggling to win the bg, but this is strictly my opinion, all in all the bgs do need some balancing and we need a night crew going. You can still gear, as i have geared my twinks within 4 days of constant losses and maybe a win every day or so.
On the note of your concerns, the bg que has been here for a long time, we're going to have to get used to it unless we upvote the bug here: https://www.warmane.com/bugtracker/report/6593
and here: https://www.warmane.com/bugtracker/report/285
and until the GMs pay attention to it, we will have to deal with it. I wouldn't say it's a 60% chance as it's only 6 instances for our bracket, 3 of which are the ones that bug the que, so in my opinion it's a 50/50, sometimes you get it and sometimes you don't. It is quite the issue to most that have no patience though and i'm trying my best to get attention for it from the GMs/Mods, but they are extremely busy especially with lordaeron, please be patient with them :)
On your other concern i really do agree that old raids being closed really kills twinking potential, but be patient with them, as they are fixing botht eh vp shop, and the old raids asap, i know this as a fact, as those two are very high priority issues
Just be patient and it will work itself out man, and don't just not bother with our bracket, help us make it live again!! There's no need to hate a bracket just because of a few bugs :)

this.
and the Twinking Bracket 70-74 is just the unbalanced bracket in MOP. ( and much more here on Frostwolf ) You have 3 Classes ( on the top hunt ) who can 1 shoot players with 14k life.
I played it alot, and it was just ...*yawn* 4 Million++ dmg and 50+++ kills was just normal on my hunt (lvl 72), but if i join with my Feral druid they can go to pee while i atk them.
