What's up with 50 bracket?

[Kaleido]

I play with some r30s sometimes in 40s just because they are friends and want to play with me. I'm sure some just do it to farm newer players or those with less pvp abilities at their disposal. At other times it may just be bad queue times in 50s.

Also please stop queueing with blaise. It would be nice to have him on my team sometimes. Healing against you guys sucks when im solo queued.

As far as I know most r30s queue in the 50s bracket, where their gear has the advantage. Queueing in the 40s bracket won't net them any gear advantage whatsoever, however the advantage in terms of PvP abilities would still be there. To me, there could only be two discernable reasons for a r30 to queue in 30s/40s bracket.

1. They have one or more friends who want to play that bracket instead of 50s.

2. They've been getting their butt kicked in 50s bracket against other r30s and want a fight they feel they can win.
