PvP and Battlegrounds are a big part of Epoch's draw but I think they're suffering from the issue of one team often having 1 more player and low level BGs are already suffering from twinks.

I've played on the server from the start and the ability to get xp from BGs was great. It encouraged people of various levels to join BG as another way to level and gave some variety to the levelling experience. There was no ability to turn off xp so you didn't get super geared/enchanted players stomping everyone else so it felt a lot more balanced and enjoyable. I've seen plenty of complaints about this in game and it's really turning off players from queuing.

The other big issue, even at 60 sometimes, is the issue of a team having 1 more player. This obviously causes issues, particularly when one side manages to stay +1 throughout the whole game. It would make more sense to only allow people to join if there is a player of the other faction in the queue to join too. It's already capped so you can't go above +1 so I don't see why it shouldn't be capped to keep it equal.

Cheers
