Item score difference in PVP

I'm just gonna ask you.. 2.5k item score vs a whole team of 4k item score... How do you think it will be like?
It would be very nice if you manage to get people match against people close to their item score... because i cant do anything against a whole team of 4k item score... MAKE IT FAIR!.
(I feel really sorry for those who have 200 ping playing in pvp, biggest disadvantage ever).

Thank you.

    Not enough people q at the same time for the queuing algorithm to produce fair matches.
    No idea what my toon is now.

    I wonder why that is.

    Like I already said in another thread, and like many ppl before me have said, IL vs IL won't solve anything atm with how IL is working and will probably only make queues even more frustrating. :/

    You mean stop playing pvp and build up in pve first right?, Well you have to either pay money to get stronger or play this game for years. And still 200 ping will remain an issue too.

    Not really what I meant, no, also ping in this game is really forgiving compared to other games like Starcraft, MOBAs or shooters like CS or even Battlefield. But not my point, what I tried to say is that PvP's issues go further than just Item Level, and pairing up the same ILs will only have another number of problems as result, a 2.5k with the 'usual' gear will be in a serious disadvantage against a 2.5k in a GH20 and/or with full purple insignias or all the other campaign boons, full lionsmane, rosegold rings and none of this will boost his IL enough to be considered for a higher IL bracket. Something similar to what is going on in lvl 60s PvP.

    Manyvengeance is completely right. IL does not reflect mount insignia, Guild bonus, boons, tenacity etc. To really sort it out you would need to give all these things an IL score, perhaps renaming it to "Power Level" or something.

    BUT - as with the solo q - which frankly wasn't the most innovative of ideas but worked reasonably well, I'm coming to the conclusion that having two item level brackets 0-2999 and 3k-infinity would be a good starting point. Once you have that format established if they ever do update item level to take everything into consideration then frankly it'll be good to go. And in the meantime people have a, slightly, improved experience. And frankly aiming at "better" rather than perfect would be quite a good thing imho.

    As to PVP at lower levels - that can very very easily be solved. Surely all you need to do is give enchants a minimum character level to be equiped, much like gear. That way you don't end up fighting level 25 toons with trans enchantments and rank 12s. But I digress.
