Too much philosophy and fat-camp-feelings. I started played trial twinks back in Cata cause it was free, it was fun, and BGs were fast. I always thought of the various 25s (and 29s) as undertuned (read very hard) boss fights. I usually lost, when I won, it was glorious. Either way, nothing of actual value was lost.
Are BGs still 20-30 min queues? Cause that has a much bigger influence on my playing than all the other changes since cata combined.

Except that you're not 'paying for an advantage.' You're paying for the full game (because that's what you're supposed to do if you like it) and by doing so, gaining access to the full game the way it was designed and intended to be accessed. If one who pays for the full game has an advantage over those who don't, that's because those who don't pay for the game made a conscious choice to treat said payment as something that makes one an asshole.
It boggles my mind how we spent 7 years paying for the game an no one took issue with it, but then Blizzard removes time limits on trial accounts and all of a sudden only immoral, heartless bastards pay for the game.

This is all irrelevant. Guess what happens if level 20s get fed up and stop playing? Other brackets make a come back. People get to enjoy diversity again. I'm really not sure where this attitude of entitlement comes from.

, I don't feel comfortable believing that someone's way of enjoying WoW is wrong. You all have reasons and ways of enjoying the game and I hope you continue to enjoy the game. If balance or imbalance is important to you, then I hope you enjoy the fruits of your chosen philosophy. If some-money vs no-money vs lots-of-money is the axis your gaming concern or enjoyment lies upon, I hope you derive satisfaction and enjoyment from whichever opinion you hold. I can't and would not wish to tell any of you that you are wrong. Enjoy WoW as you will, think of WoW how you like.
I Think Naq has probably identified the most important factor for me and a few people I've talked to about going to vet 19s. Because love or hate our 20-29 bracket, I'd love our old queue times back. I'd rather logon and play than logon and wait. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but today (like so many days) I logged on and 45min later still didn't have a pop. That happens at least a third of my logons these days. Whichever kind of WoW I enjoy, I would prefer playing it to nearly not playing it at all, which is what these queue times have brought me up against.
Does anyone know what the current queue times are like in 19s? I would imagine that over time, if the 19s queue times are lower (and I'm not sure that they are, but I've heard rumors), it's conceivable that we might see a shift to more people playing there. It would be difficult to resist.

On EU queue times vary between 2 and 50 mins. With ~15 in evenings. But lotta AV popping now which is something.

Man, they are children... won't understand it. I laughed.
Veteran account is the pay to win version of the starter edition account.
I think it is ridiculous pay for this game for play at low lvl pvp because you play in the same bgs and arenas of a lvl 100. Why not play on lvl 100 and try to be at a high position on the rank? There is others mmorpgs at low lvl with exclusive bgs or arenas for them. If you level up you can't go to these bgs anymore. Bracket is a invention of Blizzard. Sorry for my bad english. But that's it.

I don't see how it's RIP when next patch rerolling, leveling and gearing a new f2p will be easier than ever
Hopefully, right? We'll find out tomorrow if they've restricted trials from the loom tab. I've got a dentist appointment in the morning so I'll be loaded up by the time my client gets done patching, if everything goes well! Also, curious to see if my linked trials can join guilds im in on my paid toons.
