Should I level up my 70 Rogue?

Alright. So. I am stuck in a little pickle.

First off, I am posting this in the General section because I did not want biased answers depending in which bracket I posted this thread in (70 vs 80).

I have been contemplating to level my 70 rogue to level 80 for the past few months given the total lack of PVP activity and diversity of PVE at my current level. The firends that I had ditched their 70s, so I really find it boring to play my 70 now which is a shame since I love that rogue so much.

I am not worried about missing the TBC content, since my main in WotLK was a Rogue (nostalgic factors involved too).

Now for the problem... Here is a link to my rogue: Questions @ Velen - Community - World of Warcraft

He has several GF'd items such as BiS helmet enchants on BiS gear, bloody dancing steels on weapons (still have 3 un-used though), Brute Force tabard, and Vicious War Horse. He's pretty BiS in my opinion, I havent updated everything for scaling gear yet though. Also, he has been level 70 since late WotLK. I just don't enjoy 70s as much as I used to. It seems like barely any 70s play anymore, and there is not much to do between queues at this level compared to level 80.

On the other hand, a friend of mine has somehow managed to reanimate the 80 bracket without the use of Twinkinfo. As a WotLK fanatic I was hoping to be able to play that content again with a group of 80s.

The more I think about having a level 80 Rogue, the more I feel like leveling my 70 given he has so many usable Gf'd items even for a level 80 like his tabard, red glowy enchants and PVP mount.

Let me know what you guys think. Is the 70 bracket secretly active?


TL;DR. Should I lvl my gf'd super old 70 rogue to 80 to join my friends?
 
I vote no. You never know when a bracket will see action again, and if mechanics change for the better with the new expansion, it would also be good for 70s activity.

I would rather genuinely not enjoy a few days of leveling a new toon to 80, rather than be pissed for an entire revival that I had leveled my "trophy toon", looking at your status.

yeah. I guess, all the twinks I have ever leveled I always regretted doing it. So I'll leave it at that.

Nice 10 rogue o.o
 
Don't level him.

I just learned about the item level equipped multiplier which precisely applies to raiding twinks, but not to PVP twinks. You'll regret leveling him since all your gear with be crap even if it has overally better stats.

I've tested it and you won't see all the effects of the item level equipped multiplier on the dummy (only 10% of it seems to apply) but step into a dungeon and you can see the effects on your damage.
