No AV pops?

[Sotalukko]

EU Eartshaker alliance - and no AV pop after the joyoys journeys XP buff ended (wotlk prepatch).

I'm XP locked and level 60 - anyone else having this problem? Or is the bracket just dead?
Are the realms interconnected nowdays, or could transferring to another realm fix this?

i do get WSG and AB pops, but they are 60-69 bracket.

Can't speak for EU pops but AV still pops on NA, about 15 to 20 min queues.

Bgs aren't realm specific, transferring wouldn't change anything.

This is sick to know. I dunno if I have anything left in the tank for gearing a 60 though even though the nostalgia ping is through the roof for the idea of it lol

You can invest maybe 1 day of running Bgs on a new 60 and get full GM/HW gear and weapons and be on par vs Naxx geared 60 twinks. Obviously youll be less bursty/glass cannon but your high stamina will give you a really solid gear setup. Fill in remaining pieces with TBC BoEs and youre good to go.

I think its the "getting to 60" part that's gunna really be the time sink for me lol

the trick is that you just do what everyone else in the bracket does... roll a DK

TBC quest gear is really good too in some cases. Like https://tbc.wowhead.com/item=25715/jade-warrior-pauldrons are fugly as hell but still "better" than HWL, IMO.

edit- .....for Ret pally. Just looked at warrior PvP shoulders and I'd use those.

Damn, I have a fully geared double might of menethil warrior collecting dust right now. The rat race to 80 is sucking all my free time(if I can even get through the queue)
