Cuz its a junk bracket that has some of the hardest/rarest items to obtain+ and nobody plays 49s so its the first bracket to die out. Too early for epic raid gear too late for decent gears but 49s are just in time to take all the 39s pieces and nothing more
Ok maybe hurricane and calibrated boomstick + quiver+ improved aspect proc +rapid fire is fun seeing for the first minute but gets old quick. That is the only bracket's redeeming feature. And its hunters anyway; Other interesting feature are living action pots/invlu pots but nobody wants to spend like 4g per fight.
+Rogues start to get increasingly powerful.
In 39s you can at least maybe dot them to death before you die in 49s you just die in a stunlock. And nobody has fun dying in stunlocks being unable to do anything unless ur a masochist. Also mounts so ppl can catch u faster. Greater shadow protection pots becoming available at 48 would theoretically shit on your whole lock VERY hard too but thankfully they're too expensive to use in pvp
