20 minute time limit is going to kill WSG
The most memorable WSGs were the longest lasting ones, where intense battle, teamwork and excitement took place, and the fate of the match was uncertain until the very last second.
Now, everything promotes just easy grinding, whether hp or xp..
Blizzard could have let bgs begin with even numbers, or even lower the level brackets to 5, to handle the issue of twinks being OP over the casual players.
A very wrong approach indeed.
Do not even need to wait for the patch to be released, and try, to tell that I am utterly & truly dissapointed..

I have mixed feelings about these changes. I have no 80's, or 70's for that matter, so I don't know what end-game BG's are like in terms of balance. I twinked at 29 as a way to get the new Achievements done, but once I finished everything for WSG and AB, I leveled up. It was never my intention to stay a twink. I never truly gained satisfaction out of one-shotting some helpless clothy either. Achievements were my focus.
But now, obviously these changes will make que times horrendous for twinks. My concern is, will it no longer be "easy" to get the PvP Achievements done? How hard will it be at level 80, if I choose to level up and not twink, to finish the Achievements for my coveted Battlemaster title? I've even had to do a self-esteem check: do I doubt myself and my own ability to get the Achievements done without having an advantage on the competition? Isn't that why people twink in the first place, so they can feel like they're really good deep down? What if I'm not good enough to become a Battlemaster?
Needless to say, this Patch 3.2 has drastically changed my game plans. My character who was 29, whom I leveled, is level 50 now, and I was planning on twinking at level 60 for the AV Achievements. Just get the Achievements, then continue to level. No staying a twink. But now, I might just level right through to 80. It might be easier to get the Achievements at 80 with shorter que times. And I can just raid and honor grind to get 1337 gear and pwn people then, right? Satisfy my epeen?
But my dilemma is Blizzard's dream goal anyway, right? To encourage players to level to 80, so that people will be more connected with the game, more "addicted" and more likely to keep subscribing, yet having more fun as well.
This change ultimately puts pressure on twinks to level to 80. There will always be twinks. I guess you can say that the hardcore twinks will love this change. But for casual twinks, such as myself, the change is tough to digest.
