If anyone can find out the following:

1) What the level brackets for BGs are in Shadowlands
2) The math behind the stat squish to know exactly what level a given character will be post squish

That would be hot. Doubt either of these things would be discoverable in the alpha though.

Edit: Seems character transfer exists? Maybe there is some hope.
