With patch 4.0.3a the brackets are no longer x0-x9 (like 20-29 and 40-49) but they are now x0-x4 and x5-x9. This means that while lvling in bg's you will only encounter people with a maximum of 4 lvles higher then you. This will make lvling in bg a lot less frustrating.
Another change is the lvles at which battleground become available.
Before 4.0.3a it was
WSG at lvl 10
AB at lvl 20
AV at lvl 51
EotS at lvl 61
SotA at lvl 71
IoC at lvl 71
However this has change and is now as followed
WSG at lvl 10
AB at lvl 10
AV at lvl 40
EotS at lvl 30
SotA at lvl Unknown
IoC at lvl Unknown
If you got some info on when SotA and IoC becomes available after the patch please let me know.
I totally hate this change. I'm glad I'm already in the last bracket with my alt, but it still sucks. I loved the challenge of trying to own a x6 player with my x0 character or just knowing when to run the hell away. It was also VERY rewarding to be finally at the last bracket levels and be able to make a real difference in the bg after all the hassle I've been through before. Now both of those are taken away from me. And I hate it. :s
Oh, I forgot to mention how there's around 4 horde at the battleground facing full ally team all the time now. Yay.
