Battlegrounds (Under Level 50) Major Stat Reduction Bug in U49

There's a major bug in Under-50 BGs where all stats, resistances, damage values, and heal values, are being reduced by ~60%. I haven't seen an official Known Issue thread about it, so starting one here.

Here are my stats outside of BG (28k Health, 1600 Stamina Recovery):

But in an under-level-50 BG, I have 10k Health, and 194 Stamina Recovery.

You can see that stats are impacted across the board. This makes breaking free more than once impossible. This bug has been active for all of Update 49.

This is impacting everyone in under-50 BGs and making every game a terrible slog.

I think part of it is because of item leveling being busted:

Out of BG, My staff has 965 Weapon/Spell Damage:

In BG, my staff has 370 Weapon/Spell Damage:

Mundus Stone values are also reduced in BG, whereas some are usually slightly increased for low-level characters.

Higher level characters seem to have higher stats and be impacted less. It feels like it's treating my character as level 50, and reducing my armor/mundus/passive bonuses because they're associated with my true level, not their level 50 value. Previously, these buffs worked fine and would even get boosted for low-level characters (such as max health, recovery, etc).

    Just happened to me. I knew this mode removed CP and reduced stats a little, but never this much.
    Sub 50 bg's I was lvl 16 Dropped my 33k health to 16k. Wep/Spell Damage to 800 and sustain to 300 and 200.
    I literately couldn't do anything, and couldn't use skills more then 3 times before I was out of resources. Got annihilated.

    my L21 Orc Stam necro tank entered a 3 team BG just before server shuts down and literally couldn't land a shot
    before run out of resources or get killed from mages wrath !!!!
    he uses 2 full sets of armor- tideborn and armor master - backbar is S&B
    even at level 21 is practically unkilled and very tanky in Cyro -Greyhost
    but when i enter BG, felt like i wore nothing ,no resistances and no skills to fire
    what broken game mode is this? cause even i came first there was no fun at all

    I'm having exactly the same problem. It occurs on all my character as well.
    Battlegrounds are unplayable for me now... Enemy skills kill me in 2 hits, while I can cast max 3 skills.

    Reported this bug too, hope it gets fixed soon!

    I reported this as a bug back on March 10th, and also posted about it here.
    Still hasn't even been acknowledged as something that needs looking at...

    Hoping now that a couple more people have posted about it, that it might get a response

    It's almost unplayable if you're under level 30. Just sprinting will drain all of your stamina and you have almost zero recovery so you can't do much by the time you reach the objective.

    Insane it still isn't fixed.
