For some personal reasons I had to delete my old account and create a brand new one.
Then I noticed long queues in rbg (sometimes for hours) I’ve never encountered using the old account. Dug a bit deeper and found out that there is a subtle threshold of 30 honour level which turned out to be true - no players above 29 level were met.
I’m pretty interested who the heck is that bright spark who came up with such a “smart” idea. Have you ever thought what is 30 honour level? first 5 levels of 5.5k honour and another 25 of 8.8k = 247.5k honour (especially considering those overlong qs). By the way, the difference in play btw <30 and others is hardly visible.
It is an arbitrary and not helpful limitation. Especially with the very low numbers of new players. Don’t expect any change though - ever. You probably can queue with a friend, who is >30 or play battleground blitz.
Enjoy it while it lasts. It is super easy bracket if you know what to do. As a healer you can tank 3-5 people easily, they are mostly in gear from leveling and you will have less premades there, but you will have longer queues.
