What new account WOW players face in current leveling BGs

boa gear isn't the problem, its ability scaling.

you can get equivalent and sometimes better gear at equal lvls.

But I agree things get really out of wack with next expansion boes, particularly panda ones. But that is a different issue then boa

Oh yeah, with base stats going away, things should even out.

BOA gear is a huge the problem, many enchants/armors/scopes bind the item to the user. BOAs circumvent this now and like they did in WOTLK when the DEVs realized it was a problem so enchants/armors/scopes required XX levels to work and to apply. patch 5.4 undid most of the loopholes they fixed years prior for levels to works, but many still have level requirements to apply them. shoulder enchant/inscrip, leg armor/spellthreads, and scopes. those with mains circumvent requirements due to their level and placing them on BOAs which cannot be soulbound. end result is players getting items they imo should not have

at low level hunters and the scopes on BOA gun/bow are rather insane for players 1-60 alone:

Flintlocke's Woodchucker - sometimes launches a rabid critter, dealing additional damage to the target and increasing your Agility by 112 for 10 sec. boosts crit, 224ap + 78.4ap (from +35% ap boost = 302.4 AP not including the 250-400+ damage form critter

Gnomish X-Ray Scope - sometimes increases ranged attack power by 300 for 10 sec when dealing damage with ranged attacks. 300ap + 105ap = 405ap

these are face melting in leveling BGs. on WOD PTR some of the players i sample posted enchants, etc are seriously nerfed. but it seems that some are not adjusted down enough. a level 20 player prior to 5.4 the max scope they could use was a +3 scope, players 19 or lower +2 scope. on the WOD PTR the Gnomish X-Ray Scope has been halved to 150ap on a level-20. imo that is way too much for a player of that level

I enjoy low-level PvP more than end game. One shotting people is the most fun that PvP has to offer.
