Specialy BGs, since the crossover that linked Blackrock with this server in the BGs, they have been completely broken. It's impossible to play. Why have you done this? People spend many hours leveling up a character in this realm to have an experience close to the original, and you break the endgame PvP. Mix of icecrown players with 2k GS and blackrock players, some don't know how to play, and others play with the unfair advantage of having a iteam level that is far above average. You take away the desire to play.
At around 2k GS, your focus should be on farming gold to buy BoEs or spamming RDF for upgrades. Hitting level 80 doesn’t mean you can jump straight into Battlegrounds and expect to be superior/same gear as others.
As for making separate barracks for 2k GS players, that’s not really a good solution. Right now, you already wait 5–25 minutes for a single Battleground to pop with players ranging from fresh 80s to 5.8k GS. If you restrict it only to 2k GS players, the wait time would easily jump to 2 hours or more in the best-case scenario.
If you don’t want to farm gold or spam RDF, you can always join Wintergrasp battles and complete the quests there. That way, you’ll be able to work toward a full Furious set along with some Relentless pieces that don’t require arena rating.
Keep in mind, once you obtain even a single BiS item, you’ll be forced into the high-gear barracks queue regardless.
Bro READ what he is saying. He is talking about how ****ed up it is that if you gear a pvp toon in icecrown you have to do a lot of battle grounds and grind hard, which in turn teaches you HOW to actually play pvp. Then you work your *** off to get to end game pvp only to be met with instant 80 but 0 brains Blackrock scum that ruins the true battle ground experience.
He wasn't asking for a "guide" about farming gold and what other crap you're on about.

I understood his point before replying, but you didn’t understand mine.
I clearly stated that we can’t do anything about Blackrock players, who you claim are “running” the battleground experience. If you isolate them to their own realm, all other realms’ battlegrounds will almost be dead, while Blackrock players would end up waiting hours just to get a single battleground pop.
When I suggested farming gear using gold and dungeons/raids, I meant it as a good starting point. so players have at least some gear before grinding battlegrounds.
Also, having Blackrock players doesn’t automatically mean they’ll be against you. They can’t choose which faction they join in battlegrounds; they could just as easily be on your team as on the enemy’s. You only seem to notice them when the enemy team happens to have the better composition.
