In an interesting note over the weekend, Bornakk updated the list of recent in-game fixes (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=15668071374&sid=1).
The Wintergrasp (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/Wintergrasp/) PvP zone now has two level restrictions in place:
You must be level 70 or higher to count towards the tenacity tally, obtain the tenacity buff, and get credit for a victory of defeat.
You must be level 50 or higher to be able to use the portal of Wintergrasp.
The immediate implications of this is that players cannot leave a low level alt sitting about collecting honor and Wintergrasp marks before level 70. While I don't know anyone personally who has done this, I have heard it talked about around the intertubes a bit.
For the majority of us however, this change won't have any real effect. Interesting nonetheless. Don't forget that there are several upcoming changes to Wintergrasp in Patch 3.1; including a world wide timer (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/01/wintergrasp-timer-on-patch-3-1-ptr/) and a new raid boss (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/16/sneak-peek-at-new-wintergrasp-raid/).http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)Level restrictions hotfixed into Wintergrasp (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/16/level-restrictions-hotfixed-into-wintergrasp/) originally appeared on WoW Insider (http://www.wowinsider.com) on Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:30:00 EST.
