To start, I would first like to say the one thing that came to mind when wondering why this hasn't been fixed yet...
...Will Blizzard continue to ignore this? if so., I guess it's a sign of the times. A sign of the dying of WoW.
Will other "Old" content and low level content be neglected completely?
Will the ignorance of this issue slowly begin to unfold and resemble that of the SWTOR devs ignoring the players?
The Issue
It is so unpleasant playing lower level BGs at all while leveling that they have become something to completely avoid, whether or not you enjoy PvP. Not for a lack of fun spells to use on all the classes or an array of captivating objectives etc., but, completely and utterly because of the severely broken strengths of Warriors and Hunters, resto Druids and Disc Priests.
It strikes me as being an issue when my character is loomed and enchanted and much better geared than other new players, although even I am getting literally one-shot by Warriors with their shield slam, one-shot by a channeled Penance, one-shot by Arcane shot, and have little to no chance of taking on a healer (for example, a resto druid FC) with HoTs on them below 90%.
This was a problem in Cataclysm, and WotLK. I've read many forum posts about the same issue, but with absolutely no recognition from a Blue OR a Green.
Is there really no pending fix? No sort of solution? Not only are these classes using all but 2 or 3 buttons to disperse other players, but they also seem untouchable! The warrior gets hit for barely anything, the hunter has incredible kiting ability (not by way of skill) relative to all other melee classes in the bracket, and the healers HoTs are ticking for well over any amount of damage we can deal.
It's not supposed to be easy to kill them - I get that! BUT - The vice versa should also stand true!
I'll say this before the waves of contrarians come by...
I acknowledge that fixing low level battle grounds should not have any weighting whatsoever on the performance of classes at higher levels, however , the current state of sub-90 BGs is absolutely abysmal, especially sub-75 BGs. So much so that the low level bracket BGs in the game are virtually unplayable for classes other than those I listed. I have several mains I dedicate to PvP, and I find it hard to believe that Blizzard would really turn it's back on an important aspect of the game. I am really hoping for a fix in WoD.
