Battlegrounds from 1 to 39

As an returning player who loves to play Battlegrounds and as the main source to get exp it is just terrible to wait 1h+ . Would it be possible to implement one BG for Players from 1 to 39, even if most of the time it would be imbalanced. It would be a fast and fun way to level up and don't do PvE. Players from Level 32 can still decide if they want to join lvl 40 BGs.

why you want the easy going way? this game was ever a combination between pve and PVP/SC/RVR.

the devs do a very good job for players that they can do pve, they fixing the quests, implemantion dungeons. why you just see the pvp areas, you should be expanse your horizont

I agree with OP. This game was never played for the pve content mainly. People played this for rvr, if u wanted to pve u played Wow.
I understand there are people that enjoy the lore and exploring and indeed the team do a great job, but that doesnt take away the fact that atm your faster lvling grinding mobs then queuing up for sc. And this imo is not the way it should be.

The reason for this is, people join warbands for rvr and therefore can't queue for sc. So sc might pop slow despite having enough players online for multiple sc.

I can only speak for myself but when lvling an alt i start with queuing for sc but if after 10 minutes i dont get a pop i will indeed join a wb.
When joining a wb i actually feel bad taking a spot from a lvl 40 but its the only way to get Renown. On my engi i am lvl 26 rr21 just because i grinded mobs while waiting for sc that never popped and now i cant buy the next tier renown gear.

So going back to mogt his reply about game not focused only on rvr/pvp i have to disagree

Yeah, because others in your lvl bracket are still in warbands and therefore too few queue for sc and the few who do, give up.

I feel like the situation with scenario population is somewhat chicken and egg.

Most folks argue against structured queues as it would lengthen queue times. However, I find myself quitting after a few scenarios when the matches are too one-sided due to group comp imbalances. It is pointless to try and fight Order with 6+ healers when we have 1 DPS shaman at best.

I think the lack of structure actually hurts scenario pop in the first place. A structured system would make me want to play them more often. I think incentives to play underpopulated roles would help keep the queue times down also.

On top of that, the fact that healers are limited to being rewarded with DPS gear from scenarios is crazy. That's a sure-fire way to ensure many healers stay out of scenarios.

Up to conq emblemes healer get weapons for SC and when your win-rate is high enough, you get rr faster.

I might be a strange fish. But scenarios are the only thing i play in this game, and its alot of fun =D
I agree that scenario pops are slow at lower levers and even i been hoping for some kind of bolster system so 1-31 can do
same scenarios. 32-40 is fine in my opinion.

Seconded. It's crazy. I love to play healers, and every single time I have to give up sc'ing because I need medaillons.
As someone who doesn't have long hours to play, it's incredibly frustrating.

Other archetypes don't have to make that choice, as the other set will still do its job.
