what happened ?

Because BG brackets are dynamic, scaling with the amount of people currently in BG queue. If it's early in the morning -> there's less players -> pool of similarly geared people to you expands -> you meet more geared people because there's not enough low geared ones

no, this is complete nonsense . I played 8 BG when I have 4100 gs and in each of them I fell for the team where all have 4500+ minimum , and most have 5500+ , I am the weakest in this bg . 2 days ago this was not the case , but now it happens all the time , nobody cant help so i just leave this server

It doesn't matter if you think its nonsense. Its a fact about how the BG queuing system works.
Everyone starts out as probably being the weakest in a BG after hitting 80. Imagine how bad it was before the bracket system was changed a few years ago. I geared up starting from nothing while being mostly jail bait in bgs. It eventually passes assuming you don't quit because it was too hard or unfair.
Sounds like you solved your own problem then. Pretty sure no one cares. Best of luck to you

Large pool of players = more strict "GS" BG brackets, since there's enough people to provide shorter queues for each bracket.
Meaning all of the the brackets have smaller range of certain GS players in them. I.e. you could have 4-5K, 5-6K, 6K+ brackets, thanks to large number of players.
Small pool of players = less strict "GS" BG brackets, since there aren't enough players to provide shorter queues for each bracket as above.

saying something is nonsense just because you don't understand it its meh. No one can help you.
That is exactly why you don't understand what is happening. If you actually understood the queue system and actually understood how things work you could have figured it out by yourself that frostmourne might have introduced a new bracket to the system, once you are well above the requirments.
but hey you know it allEdited: April 18, 2021

I said it was nonsense because people actually wrote nonsense that did not explain the situation in any way . three days ago I understood how BG works . but how could I understand that something has changed if there was no clear and normal announcement . now I understand the new rules of BG . if you by something with 232 ilvl or more you play vs blackrock no matter how much gs you have .i tested it on my hunter i just by 1 item , i have 2000 gs and play vs blackrock . NICE ! good job who invented this !

Coin items certainly push you to upper brackets, because you're no longer considered fresh 80, and coin items have some "weight" to them what comes to balance. Idk if the same can happen when buying with points <239 gear. It's hard for us to tell us what caused the change, when we didn't know you bought yourself some gear.
We would've been able to point out why you moved to upper bracket(s), IF you had told us of a change you caused yourself.

are you trolling? I didn't say a word about coin and points items . you never play wow ? 232 ilvl is just a6 set for honor . another nonsense . I didn't change anything on my 4100 gs priest , I just started getting on 5000+ gs players because there were some changes on the server . hope you just trolling ... if so then you succeeded
as i said
it seems that everyone who answered here has never played on warmane or just have two digits iq . everyone is talking about such nonsense ...
after 2 days I figured it out myself how it works . I just hope that everyone will return as it was before because now bgs unplayable for fresh 80 who want geared up for honorEdited: April 18, 2021

Hello,
I agree with sdgsbs, something has changed since a few days on the pvp brackets.
I tried it with my rogue 3k5 gs and no matter the time or how busy it is I am always with 6k+ gs players.
