Nostalgia nostalgia, the bracket has been so horrible since somewhere in wotlk when they changed the way classic accounts worked. Then you would twice a year or whatnot get a TBC free trial to also farm all the necessary gear from tbc content, if you wanted socket items from dungeons and quest items.
Back in those days I would have an account without expansions and play in the unlocked battlegrounds. Most notably av was 51-60 but even in 60-69 ab/eots/wsg you would stand a really good chance as stats were good. Then tons of things happened. When they changed classic accounts to be treated as locked exp and they were segregated from levels bg's pretty much never popped. And even if they pop now the discrepancy between 60-69 is massive. The damage output on some classes are just like wet noodles. It was a completely different era. And its never worth lvling these characters up from 60,
Seeing though how some brackets were doomed previously, and now have been revived maybe there is hope in the future, but it will not be like the golden days anymore.
I guess if you really want to be in that bracket and create something today, 69 is a better choice. Here's to us 60's who play other brackets while wishing for a 60's comeback
Ah yes... nostalgia
