What if we could implement cross server BGs with different brackets for different gear
i.e all 6k gs or higher players play against only other 6000 gs+ players
all 5k gs - 5.99k play against other 5000 - 5999 gs
all 2k gs - 4.9k play against other 2000 - 4999gs
This way Lordaeron players wouldn't complain against fighting overgeared icecrowners. It would also get rid of having to play with some 6k+ some 2k gs players in the same bg which is just stupid. Wouldn't a system like this make cross realm BGs that keep most people happy? As a 6k+ lordaeron pvper I would be totally fine fighting 6k+ gs icecrowners and my less geared comrades would face similar geared icecrowners and they'd have nothing to cry about. There would be no problems with S'mourners destroying the low geared because they would all be assigned to the 6k+ bgs

It would make ques excruciatingly long for geared players.

The reality is that its a good thing if there are both ends of spectrum in one BG. Greenies can see what they can become, Bis players can oneshot some greenies. Greenies can team up and kill Bis players for great game, evade and avoid combat to score points is a tactic too.
You make it seem that people lock into 1v1 combat and just squeeze out the numbers so gear always wins.
Putting people in bubbles will not result in anything good.

The suggestion would spread out the playerbase extremely thin, when the whole point of the excercise is to unify the pool. Makes no sense at all.

nobody really cares about BGs, but it would be nice to not have to meet the endless 7k smourne warrior heroes from icecrown

The suggestion doesn't work.
There would be ppl that stay intentionally under 5k GS because their class scales better on lower gear than others.
Think of a deadly/furious geared ret paly with all gems and enchants that just globals everything in the low GS arena bracket.

Really. You think gear score = skill?
Class mechanics and pvp knowledge > Gear.
People looking for any excuse they can for not winning PVP. At the end of the day, it's a fking video game, not a pvp tournament esport for 1 million dollars.
You wanna make everyone's queue times ****tier so you can play people who have the same gearscore as you which then you will complain about something else like long queue times, people deflating their gs to get around the system or donating for the best possible 5k gs bracket gear? I think there's a bigger issue here with the warmane community being whiny ****s versus balance.
If you are up against a 6k gs warrior, you might also have one on your team, no? Is it fair for the players who actually earned their gear to be put against donors only when they may have earned their smourne or wrathful the long way? Your argument has so many flaws and cons, maybe think it through before whining it off like the rest of the community and get good.

just balance the teams avg ilvl and # of healers
if one side has 4 2k gs scrubs the other side should too, for examples sake
this would also help balance out big premades, if you queue into a bg with 10 ppl expect a lot of useless scrubs compared to the other team, and to have to work for your win

People could just remove items to lower their GS before joining.
Are you going to make sure people can't change equipment after joining? Then how would you handle classes like warrior that need to switch weapons in combat?
Even if players could not change their items after joining, players with BIS trinkets etc could still join by item manipulation.

That would just end up with the premade farming half the team in a graveyard. Premades are far less inclined to care about winning especially when the team is useless.

Trust me, people would take off their gear just to not get teamed up with Alliance premades because they compleately own bg's on Icecrown.
And all the Alliance who allready waits 20-30 minutes in queue because no Horde wants to join for another loss, Would just come crying here even more cause they cant do BG's anymore with their "BiS shadowourne warr".
A donators opinion would weight more in this matter then some lowbies getting killed.
