Bgs back to 20-24

[Sumers]

Not as hilarious as if they reverted trials back to 10 days, imo.

Haha.

the fact is that even if that were to happen, so fucking what? 29s no longer have to deal with F2P's in their BG's, It's not like your level 30 now, all the 29s are still in the same bracket, whose to say everyone would go back to 24s? I wouldn't.

Probably the same reason every bracket ended up draining into the 20-24 bracket in the first place. I can't imagine what would happen to the condensed population in the 20-29 bracket should trials be reverted back to temporary. Queue times are already terrible even with the trial population injected into the dead 29 bracket. I'd imagine everyone would scatter to various brackets, further upping the queue times in all brackets. I think the only bracket that would survive on it's own merits would be the latest expansion included in the battle chest. Which would be MoP atm.

Unless something like this happened

With the scaling they've implemented, I don't ever see this happening. It seems more likely they'd go 10-29, 30-49 etc, IMO

They would need to implement temporary skill/glyph unlocking while in bgs to make it even remotely fair. Or add in starting zone gear for every class that would be decent when scaled. Or both. Interesting stuff. I don't really believe they give a shit one way or another about the twinking community though, tbh. Too many exploiters for them to really get behind.

It sounds like your trying to argue that this would effectively kill twinking. To me this would just further solidify what has been occurring since F2P's and the 24s bracket, the...legitamacy of random BG's has gone down but on the other hand it seems an increased emphasis on things like competitive twinking has begun to reoccur.

I think reverting trial's back to what they where would sux...

 

[Tom Ganks]

I would laugh... Hard. So many bis 24's leveled up. But yet again, they would have their own bracket since so many 29s exist right now. But it wouldn't last long because fair competition just isn't their forte'

Im jk

Wouldn't it be hilarious if battlegrounds/arena were reformatted back into pre WOD 20-24 format? What would you guys do then?

Guess "unleveling" isn't possible with GM or no?

Source or quit talkin'.

I think it would be more than justified. F2P twinking should never have been a thing.

 

[spewfeel]

This brings me to the question: would 20-29 die if trials went back to temporary?

Absolutely, without them there would be no bracket.

It depends on what all the people who play F2Ps decide to do once they can't twink on trial accounts anymore.

I'd be willing to bet a good chunk of them would go back to playing whatever bracket they were playing before F2P became a thing.

20-29 might become popular again for the right reasons.

Maybe not tho. There will always be f2ps coming into wow and bg at lvl 20. The bracket just won't be as competitive as before.

hmmm, I really don't think there is any doubt. At 10 day trials there were no regular BGs.

So I don't think it would be that hilarious if they reverted trial. It would be the end of twinking, I guess you could still "dress up your dolly", but that would be about it.

So, Hooray for F2Ps, right?

We'd do same thing we all did when 29 stopped and 20-24 began... Make new toons.

Dumb thread with misleading title. /Shoo back to F2P forum, little troll
