I would say stick with what Live did and go 54+.

For that reason I voted 55-60.

55+, enchanter botb on sullon zek.

That's horseshit. There are Bards who are better geared than me but I'm still the best. In fact the Bard BotB competition should just decide who gets to face big Giegue. Otherwise the result will basically be predetermined, and the other lesser Bards will get discouraged.

Giegue I love you bro, but Mythoxxus would've stomped ya, too bad I sold the account lolz then the botb finally happens!

You probably sold the account out of terror just knowing how much big Giegue would thoroughly pwn you. I bet you have auto-attack as a hotkey. If you thought my trash talk was good, my pvp skillz are even better.

Where was the BotB back when p99 actually had a real population.

Aww, someone want to help set up a lowbie BoTB? I love pvp, but don't have any toons over lvl 35. Oh well, I voted for everyone, just because I do not have a lvl 54+.

Actually this is a terrifying and logical condition. It will skew results even further towards elite gear.

My trepidation is linked more to casters than anything, and I don't consider bards to be either caster or melee, but bards.
