I just hit 80 and I'm put in the upper PvP BG bracket

[Dekameron]

Hello,

My character http://armory.warmane.com/character/...ecrown/profile is a fresh 80 and I bought 3 end game items. I'm now 2500GS and when I queue for BGs, I'm put in the upper BG bracket. Why this is happening since I'm so low geared?

Because of your weapon and trinkets.

Level 80 Players from Frostmourne are automatically placed in the 'lowgear' battleground bracket. Players from Icecrown and Lordaeron can also play in this bracket if they qualify. There are certain limitations on gear to keep an even playing field. Any player which has progressed past the current Frostmourne status, will NOT be placed in this bracket. This includes gear in bags, bank, and so on. These limitations will be changed as Frostmourne progresses through the expansion.

This means that if you have any item above what's currently available on Frostmourne, you get placed in the highest bracket.

Thank you! This means that I will just have to wait the Frostmourne realm to get to the latest content. Cheers.
