I have been twinking for a long time now. And I must say that after the imperial nerf, the ba isnt that big of a problem anymore.
I almost play melee-only classes and versus a ba you can win with all of them. Its all about dedication.
Gear preventing rules wont fix this bracket (imo atleast).
Loom gear is just as strong. If you play a loomed warrior with enchants and decent dungeon/quests gear you can beat a lvl 60 fully twinked warrior.
Same goes for WoD enchants. Enchants have always been op but you cant ban them from pvp. Yes you can make a rule that you cant use this type of gear in pve but for pvp allot of ppl just want to have a great time, with an easy obtainable gear.
I feel if we could all meet up in one server that will be a huge factor.
Not saying you have to be in ONE spesific guild but just seeing other twinks, having some duels, war games, raids, fun events, competition events etc. will give you allot more to do, and then allot more ppl will stay..
Guilds are promoting from allot of diffrent servers, making new twinks and old twinks who wants to come back confused who to choose. And might just skip the idea or make a wrong chooice.
If we all promoted for ONE server, that would be allot easier and much more fun! A high populated server will be nice as it will bring in allot of more ppl on the server if they see the bracket become active again.
Sorry for my bad english. Idk if my idea is valid at all, but wouldnt YOU enjoy it more if you knew you are on the same server with 99% of the 60 twinks? no matter purpose or faction?..
As for my server (outland) there where ALLOT of 60 twinks running around. But they ended up leaving cause suddenly there was no raid, not enough players, to many rules etc.. obey the rule or leave...
I have raided with Classic and deck me out, and I most say its really fun when the raiding is going on, but after.. I didnt see many active players.. on Classic atealst. (only played there for a small amount of time tbh)
Just my humble opinion.
