As someone who is mostly responsible for it's activity and promotion I feel like I have to explain few things.
Read following quote which I found very insulting.

Why would you play with xy ammount of spells when you can make it simple and play with 5, and you can 360 noscope lowgeared people. I belive that mostly reason is that those people really suck in this game and they don't belive in themselves that they can actualy learn more and get better. Also I hate twinks because they don't allow people who are leveling to do it via bgs, because it's really damn hard to kill a twink, even if he sucks, because your normal gear is just way too crappy and you can't do much about it. If so much people like this, make a realm for twinks or something, so they can click 4-6 abilities/spells 0-24 and enjoy. Oh wait, there wont be any low geared lower lvl players, oh crap error 404 :s
This is not the only post that got me kinda mad, but it's the one that went over the line and I just couldn't ignore it, sorry.
OK, lets get to the point.
Has anyone played 1.12.1. patch here? Has anyone played caster in that patch here? If yes, than he/she will know what I mean by downranking and having separate presets of action bars just to be able to perform stronger heals with full mana and less but more common heals with 50% or less mana.
Each spell rank was spell for itself. You could actually cast rank 1 lesser heal in endgame content sounds silly but you could do that. Don't make me count the total number of available spells/skills in that patch.
Each following expansion tried only to simplify UI and cut down the number of spells.
Most drastic cut happened in MoP. Talents were geting you only handfull of options in compare to what we have here or on cata.
I've read that WoD is even going to make number of spells/skills even smaller.
What's the point of all this that I'm writing??
Point is that if something is complicated it doesn't mean it's good.
Anyone played Neverwinter? Few skills only, and yet it's best combat i've ever experienced in this genre.
Anyone played Tera? A bit more skills and yet epic combat.
Guild Wars 2 - big choice of spells yet you can only use 5-6 of them.
You gonna say those games suck and that their players aren't capable of playing endgame WoW on wotlk just cuz it has bunch of spells to keybind or even click??
On my rogue I use 23 keybinds, 18 used very frequently in each bg. You think it's impossible? You are so wrong.
I've made custom class out of this rogue. I can root ppl, have pet, make ppl sleep, poison them, shoot rank 1 fireballs, weaken them in many ways, change their appearance, switch weapons depending on what position my opponents stands in, heal myself to 70% of my hp over time, get my personal version of lay on hands spell, do aoe without eng. prof. and alot of weird things that you probably never remember while making such statements.
Ofc, many of these things are doable by other classes too. Thing is that not everyone goes to max out the potential of this level.
I dont really see why so much rage towards people that play this bracket. You think they can't play 80 stuff. Well sorry to disappoint you, but one of best arena players on server have 19s here and find it very fun.
Guy that organized SW camping several times has 2 very strong lv19 characters.
Many members of Warsong Clan are clearing ICC with their respective guilds each week. On alliance side I know that some of raid leaders of top guilds have 19s in The Grim Reapers. If I told you the name of probably best lv19 alliance mage ever, you simply wouldn't believe me. You'd be amazed how much extremely skilled players play this bracket. Warsong Clan's score on pvp stats suffered downfall many times cuz our guys were busy with obligations on something you claim that they CAN'T do.
I asked for lv19 sub forum, also you might noticed that I opened post about getting trading sub forum too.
I go "no" as answer to both of those, so don't blame players for opening posts with problems of this bracket.
Instead of bashing them, ask Roel to allow opening specific sub forum for our needs so we don't need to disturb you anymore.
I have no 80 here, not one that I've leveled.
I got this acc to keep it from deleting and decided to play the game on totally other way, and i'm doing it for almost 3 years here. I'm good at it, i'm VERY good at it.
Here is proof.

Seems like most of these people don't play anymore, there is hardly any 10-19 bgs lately

Time to wake 'em up
I might sound as Shamm now but I'm forced to
Since the day I came back after the break i was forced to make due to serious real life problems I had, I made lv1 character and did few hours of talking to couple of allies. Picked the right words and here we are.
The most active stuff on server forum is about 10-19 bracket.
Instead of complaining, bashing, raging or whatever else, do something to make stuff that YOU do, look more appealing to others.
