Pvp Ques

[Orenria]

Hello, just created a pvp twink hoping to relive the nostalgia and I decided on lvl 36 for the MOP sets but Ive been queing for bgs and arenas all afternoon during primetime EST and I haven't gotten a single que. Is this normal? Is there a certain time I should be queing to try and get games or am I SOL and the 35-39 bracket is just dead? If so is there another level bracket that seeing more players?

Thanks for taking the time to read

It is mostly dead on retail

to expound on "mostly dead":

-exp on and off people are put in different non-overlapping buckets for que pops.
- lvl20 exp on and no sub get put in with exp off
- lvl60 exp on and no df get put in with exp on

nothing is in a great state right now. the last big thing was 20s during shadowlands but they took that horse out back and shot it after poisoning it several times didn't work.
a sub-critical mass of people can be found doing retail 10/11s, 20s, 29s (same bracket as 20s), 60s and i think wrath 19s. each has their own varied reasons i won't go into that make them currently unappealing. it's not impossible to have fun, but it's rather unlikely to have lots of group fun.

Oof that is really unfortunate.
