Yep. And to think, this patch was so close to being the greatest patch ever for twinks. Some of you may not realize the severity of this nerf just yet. What we see is Blizzard catering to a selective group in the game and forgetting the other side once again. They are castrating WSG just like they did with AV many patches ago. Some of my best moments in Vanilla WoW were with Old AV. And some of my greatest moments in BC and WotLK were with WSG. And now both have been sacrificed in favor of more hack 'n slash gameplay.
If you think about your own best games in WSG, I can guarantee you they all lasted well over 20 minutes. I don't know about you, but I certainly don't remember those matches that ended 3-0 in 15 minutes all too well. This is going to absolutely destroy competitive pug matches and promote turtling. And lastly, the ultimate reason why I will be callling it quits: 10v10 premades will become extinct.
The only way I see Blizzard altering this is if they remove the 20 minute timer on non-xp BGs. Keep your extra marks. Keep your extra honor. Keep your 'fast' games. I just want fun games.
But seeing that they continued to nerf AV into the ground, I don't see this likely.

Calm down :L. I think some people are annoyed because this change isnt just a gear piece this will really change how battlegrounds work. And will effect everyone. 20Minute wsgs are boring, all of my fun ones were much longer than 20minutes..maybe people shoudln't be like OMG OMG FFS BLIZZ YOU'VE RUINED TWINKING SEE U IN HELL BLIZZ. This is just a simple poll to predict what would happen if the changes went through? However you never know if blizzard will go through with changes, so its best just to forget about it untill it happens.

This is different from other patches, those changing gear, skills, and item enhancements.
This is about play time. PT, the reason we all play wsg. 20 minutes is clearly not enough for any reasonable sense of battle to occur.
I will be quiting for the most part. I am already focusing more on getting back into raiding and end game pvp. I do have a gnome warrior that I have set up already to level via pvp.
note: Several reasons from battlegroup to queue times have forced this decision.

Well, if all levels are able to queue for Arathi Basin and Eye of the Storm like in the PTR, I probably won't be quitting seeing as I've never done Eye of the Storm and Arathi Basin is still pretty new to me so there will still be plenty of PvP options for me, including Arena which has been pretty fun in Rampage recently.

Since most of my twinks are above lvl 19 I probably won't be quitting, but I still think this patch is a hidden agenda by blizzard to dwindle the twink community even more so, if not completely dispose of it. BG queue times are going to go through the roof depending on your battlegroup, and for 19s it could be as much as an hour+. I know at times in my bg for 19s I've waited 30 mins and this is even prior to this whole xp/non-xp bg crap. If I will be having to queue for no-xp marked bgs solely I can expect to wait an hour just to get into a bg that's going to turn into a boring 20 min turtle match. Simply put, fuck that. Thanks for the hidden agenda blizz.

You still won't be doing those BGs after patch either. While twinks being separated from non-twinks is a good thing for competition, it will increase queues. And this is only if WSG is our only option. If you put AB and EotS into the mix, then you've got a small playerbase spread 3-ways instead of just one. Allowing 19s into EotS and AB is not necessarily a good thing.
i actually think that people will be more into twinking then less...
and as been said on the front page, you could still switch to a Battlegroup who has people in it !
the 20 minute timer is there mostly for higher end game content.
at level 80 a good game is going on for minimum 3 hours.
normalk that they would throw a limit at it.
also, at 19 it will put some stress to those people wanting to win.
people just killing wont get anything in it. anymore, so i see this as an opportunity to make the game even more insteresting as the time limit will become a vital part of planning the strategie.
i dont see why people already criticise it like this...
it will all end up well when the game comes out.
not to mention its just the PTR

this won't stop gy camping at all
it will just make it of a shorter length
epic games will be gone
i voted "maybe", have to see how it will be first rather than just giving a solid answer theoretically
