5.2 BG changes look cool! My f2p buddies will be even more awesome now!

I've said this before and I will say it again. I would think this change would go into effect in normal battlegrounds. If you are in an XP off bracket, I would hope they keep those changes out. Wait and see or get a blue to comment on it.

Why wouldn't it work in exp off bracket lol
 
would have to agree with wenoye here. as much as 24s crutch on it to get by (most by no means all), it would take away a lot from what the bracket is to scale 20s up.
 
There won't, because abilities etc. don't get scaled with. So: no Shadowform or Devouring Plague.
Oh alright, I'm trying to keep up with what's going on but everywhere you go I read different things. Thanks :D hehe, what's up Mia!

What did I say different? Level will be scaled up. You won't get new abilities however. The damage, spell hit,... do get scaled.
 
Lol 24s still have a huge advantage like skills, consumables, enchants and professions. So if you re a 24 and worried about these changes ur most likely not as good as you thought.

All 24 should be excited for these changes. Makes for much better games, and competition.
 
I xfered a couple of alts i have been leveling to PTR just to witness this change first hand. Unfortunately no bg pops.. at all. Obviously most are on 90's.
 
the F2P world is a pre-screened base of highly potential customers for an MMO seeing falling subs. you guys were fine when there were only 0-2 twinks in a BG because you provided motivation for these potential customers to buy a sub to be super-awesome l33t-sauce like you. you guys have screwed up by FAITHFULLY rolling 5-man premades of spriests, pallys, and rogues and mid-farming these young, tender, potential customers into logging out and playing minesweeper.

the PvP changes in MoP were supposed to prevent this - but it made the game unplayable by "gamer" standards. so they have backed off the heal-bombings and zero-death BG's - only to see the twink murder squads return. and even then - it wouldn't have been as bad if you didn't use your P2P status as an excuse to scream into BG chat about how everyone playing at a disadvantage is a "scrub" and a "noob". (side bar: as of this post - i am pushing 2,500 WSG battles on Gart, alone. dont come into my house and tell me what's what). so in addition to the one-shots and facerolling - you are taunting these potential sources of revenue and telling them to play pokemon. so you have nobody to blame but yourselves.

TL;DR: y'all are toast.

Didn't say it wouldn't. It shouldn't. XP off brackets are for twinking and should be left as is. If you use BG's as an alternative for leveling, sure, scale up.

This sounds like a pathetic excuse for facerolling, also is it just me or did lvl-ing by questing got confused with pvp-ing. But tell you what.....lets make it a choice between PVP and PVE ( a way of lvl-ing up ).

You can lvl in bg's with or without such huge advantage, you can end up in a different bracket each day as you continue to lvl up, seing you lvl up pretty fast now.

There are 2 types of 24's out there. Those who play it just to take screen shots of 25+ killing blows, 75k damage, and 0 deaths. And then there are those that play it because the pops are quick, the games are competitive, and they enjoy winning more than losing (who doesn't?). The first type are the players that roll FotM classes, GY farm, and then laugh at scrubs, these are the ones that complain about this because now it is harder to kill a F2P. The second type are the ones that will enjoy this because it will make the games closer, your team mates will be better, and you will still have a slight advantage (after all, it is a game and we pay to have fun). I like to consider myself part of the second group and part of the reason I play a warrior and a shaman (definitely not FotM classes), and I know many who would agree with me. But I know way more that are part of the first group and hopefully this patch will irradicate some of those people.

Truth.
 

Bunk. Said it before. You don't roll a 24 to one day hope it will be a more even bracket. You roll a 24 to faceroll. If you want your games to be close, you would not get into a bracket with people 4 levels below you.

I don't play FOTM classes, screenshot, brag, GY farm. I queue, I kill or I die, win or lose, I leave and move on to the next BG, but I do it because I enjoy facerolling. So yeah, this change annoys me. If I wanted a challenge, I'd get on one of my 90's and pvp.

Call me what you will, but at least I am honest.

Again, if you roll a 24, you did it because you wanted to faceroll. If you say anything to the contrary, blatant lies.

buddy i think you lost everyone when you said "If I wanted a challenge, I'd get on one of my 90's and pvp."

I rolled a 24 because its the most active bracket out there atm i originally rolled a hunter because i had never played one before, not cause it was really op at the time ( which led to me rolling one as my main at 90 )
I do enjoy challenging games in the bracket whether it be against horde premades or if there are just good 20s or 24s on the opposite team. sure that may lead to frustration with your team or flaming between horde and ally players but thats part of the game and its all in good fun

You can be honest and i have no reason to call you anything thats just how you want to play, but doesn't mean thats how other people play. blizzard wouldnt be changing the game constantly if people did the exact same thing for the exact same reason

you'll get no hate from me cuz frankly i dont care how you play cuz it affects me 0
 
Wenoye, you speak for the majority of 24s, but not for all.

I don't play to face roll. In fact (so long as the changes are positive) I am looking forward for 5.2 for the reason that most scrubs will quit 24 all together, and we will be left with only objective focussed players! (Hey I can dream can't I?)

Edit.. Paramore you play 24 Spriest, right?
