Wow... I'm speechless, it's like destroying all twinking brackets just like that...
I see the benefit at 60+ levels but before that, man F2P twinking, 10 twinking, 19 twinking GONE.
I guess it will be 15 twinks all around instead?

if something isnt broken dont try and fix it
maybe it would help the higher brackers but it would do more harm than benefit

With the possible item squish coming, it's probably a long shot to think that this might happen anytime in the future. As far as anyone can tell, all the 60+ brackets are going to lose their advantages for leveling past the baseline, and the differences between a 60-64, 70-74, 80-84 are going to shrink considerably.
Besides that, anyone with a high number of twinks would not like to re level and gear them all.

Dude u serious someone who got allot of twinks (like myself got 8 finished and 3 projects in work) Would love to level that extra level and explore new dungeons, quests, gearing possibilities, analyze gamplay shifts so on and on. For me 50% of twinking a character is in the trip to the top, and only other half is actually playing it.
Hell when the doomsday patch came out, i even made a 49 shaman with BiS gear for all 3 specs just coz its fun.

10s will do fine as 11s? Have you played a 10? Do you know how stats scale on a 10 vs an 11? If not, try it before you make comments like that. A geared 10 will rape any 11-15 no matter how well they are geared, with the exceptions of hunters because they are just retardedly OP. I sit in Goldshire when bored and roflstomp pretty much everything that comes through thats lvl 10-19 thats not a geared twink.

Not gunna happen in general. I don't even want it to happen.
Bracket shifts are bad unless there is a pressing reason for the change. Which there isn't. I really like things the way they are. (other than the dead brackets....which making this change would not fix.)

Alright 10s, school's in. Have a seat and learn about the scaling of your bracket.
From a proportional standpoint, secondary stats from 10-14 scale at a ratio of 2:3:4:5:6. So you need twice as much crit rating at 12 to achieve the same level of crit at 10 (2:4 ratio), and three times as much at 14 (2:6 ratio). Therefore, the scaling of 10 to 14 is 3X.
Level 15 continues the scale, so if the bracket shifts to 11-15, the ratio becomes 3:4:5:6:7, making the scaling of 11 to 15 drop to 2.33X. Going from 3X to 2.33X is a 22% drop in scaling. Both 10s and 14s would gain access to better gear by moving to 11 and 15, but the gear improvement stays linear for both.
Would this nerf players who previously ruled the roost at 10? Unquestionably. Would the nerf force everyone to go to 15 if they wanted to remain competitive? Not even close. Such a shift would simply make the whole bracket more interesting, instead of a bunch of 10s sprinkled with a couple of 14s.
Your homework is to work up a chardev of your favorite class and spec at 11 and at 15, and determine which one, if either, had an advantage. Extra credit if your reply is as snarky as mine.

One thing that's been forgotten about moving the 39 bracket to level 40: Warrs/Pallys can use plate, Hunters/Shammys can use mail.
