we are sorta back to where twinks were at WOTLK start. although we didn't have access to all enchants, the following were 100%
- BC leg armors
- WOTLK leg armors thru a exploit on BOEs
- BC and WOTLK shoulder enchants on BOA or thru a exploit on a set of white shoulders
- 40 crit ranged scopes
- van-WOW head enchants
- BC and WOTLK head enchants thru a exploit on BOE eng goggles and white head gear with armor that could be broken
- ability to get 450 mining (48 stam), herbing (3000hp heal), skinning
- weapon chains
this was rather devastating to our bracket even when it included levelers. blizz realized this and did massive nerfs assigning min level requirements to many of those items only a few weapon chains slipped thru the cracks and one of those got nerfed.
when players asked their comments where along the lines of: " that they were a unfair advantage to accounts with mains and gold, etc.) this was in the old forum that was wiped and started over on CATA.
despite the scaling of patch 5.4 it is pretty much the same as a unfair advantage to accounts with mains and gold. blizz devs seem to forget the past. now we won't have hunters with was really OP using +40 ranged crit scopes which on mains could apply to BOAs, we now will have hunters using scopes that proc 300ap or 112agi
