twink bracket 90-99 is active
tested tonight after a poster said my OP was incorrect, it appears recent changes were made in a hotfix on 9 Dec.
6.0.3 Hotfixes: December 9 - MMO-Champion BlueTracker
qued a 90 MOP capped player, got into a BG and players on my team included 93-99 level players
scaling has changed also. my 90's PVE and PVP gear now scaled the same to 590. BOA wpn scaled up to 615, my hp was boosted to 192K and was higher than any of the 99's. as for 640 scaling a poster in this thread said it is scaled down to 590, so appears no loophole god mode gear there
not sure if the players 93-99 were actually XP-off twinks looking at their gear, which was random gear you would get questing mixed with old left over gear? none of them had any of the 640 crafted items
on a second BG asked if players had XP off and got a ton of NO's at the same time, this may get fixed too and may not be intended
UPDATE
just qued a second BG, got a pop in 43 sec just now, players are various levels again, this BG i asked players if they had turned their XP off, and several said no, they are leveling and getting XP.
not really sure if this is supposed to be happening, if it's intended or bug?

twink 90's are in their own XP-off bracket
level - 90 players whether XP-off or MOP capped only BG against level - 90 players, making it the only twink bracket in WOW with a one level player base.
the bracket is close to being exact to what it was prior to WOD, with maybe a few exceptions
- 550 PVP gear is 550 in a BG
- PVE gear is scaled down to 540
- BOAs are scaled down to 540
- PVP power still appears to be working, even though it's not listed on players stats
- PVP free base resilience = to squish is still in the game or there is a base % damage reduction factor not shown on player stats either
- resilience was removed from the dual PVP trinkets, but they now reduce damaged taken by 10%
there are some 90's that wear the legendary cloak, not sure if it is also nerfed in BGs or if they are just wearing it for epeen
que times are 3-10 minutes using the random option with AV and IOC blacklisted
there are no BOEs that dip from WOD into MOP like in previous expansions. WOD gear doesn't even hit 550+ till level-92. wowhead is showing some BOE crafted weapons at level 91.
