You know what is really funny… Anti Twink post. The Majority of Anti-Twink people Never spending the time to make a twink. Lets be honest, no one and I mean NO ONE!!! makes a low level char to X bracket and says, I’m going to leave this char at this level to PVP just because. Low level Bg’s were introduced to pass time and give content while leveling.
People that Complain are the ones that get tired of Questing and go to PVP get rolled by someone that strictly just pvps in that bracket… Gets Mad / Makes a Anti Twink post or has this opinion against them… Hits lvl 60 on that char and never looks back ever again…so what’s the deal with that?
If you Don’t twink, Your opinon really doesn’t matter whether they should allow it or not. People like me that twink really make low level Chars to PVP due to not having to level it all the way to 60 and start all over.
The whole point of twinking basically boils down to weight classes.
you wouldn’t want to fight a heavyweight as a lightweight. And while some of the fun of making a twink is that you are more likely to outclass your opponents and stomp them.
It is much better for everyone if twinks are separated from the people who just hop into a BG while leveling. Which is why I think the idea of small XP for BG completion with the option to turn off XP is the best solution.
If you want to twink cool, you can fight all the other twinks. If you don’t like twinks you don’t have to deal with them. Then again this is one of the things I could really care less about since I don’t plan on doing any BGs while leveling unless AV and the ice barbed spear is out when I hit 51.
you get rolled in a low level bracket due to having a plan on taking that char you joined the BG with to 60? I don’t understand the logic on raging against twinks if you don’t plan to stay at that level… better yet, lvling it to maxium level for that bracket and not trying to obtain the best gear possible.
I just think most twinks, or at least the vocal ones, are delusional. I spent most of my hours played in vanilla PvPing under the level cap in one bracket or another, and I can smell twink self-glorifying, oblivious, hypocritical, BS from a mile away.
The truth is most twinks want to be segregated from max level players unlike in the WPvP days because they don’t want to put in the effort to raid gear a PvP character and manage all the extra buttons that come at 60. They would rather be a little league star than a major league bench warmer. Because being special on the short bus makes you special.
OP was saying that people dont just level a char to say 18 then stop and bg only randomly unless they plan to twink. Those that complain are only stopping to BG a bit then continue leveling.
Yeah I misread it at first too and had to do a double take.
Twinking is sort of like Classic in the sense that you want classes to be numbed down to fewer abilities etc.
Say the lvl 29 bracket. Shamans and Druids will be much faster than other classes whereas at lvl cap you have mounts etc. The limitation of abilities simplifies fights and makes things more interesting in various ways. Some people really enjoy this. And I will not lie, being an OP lvl 19 rolling through the randoms is part of the twink hype/life but it is also enjoying a simpler form of combat where you have limited tools but your opponents do as well.
It’s also fun to challenge yourself against people who happened to twink better and to see how far twinking can really go. I was not a major twink player myself but I did twink a hunter back then!
You still got your quest to do warsong at 10 in vanilla, and then a quest to do arathi at 20. These reward experience for a reason. The reason they provide experience is because experience, and levels, have always been the main method of character advancement. It was sort of expected that this is something you would do while leveling.
Okay so it was “sort of expected” to do it once for the quest. That’s quite different from making it a significant portion of your leveling experience and a place you visit dozens of times between 10 and 19, no?
funny, Not even that… I just don’t want to spend the time to take it to 60 to do exactly what I’m doing at a low level. Where’s you’re twink at? or are you one of those ragers that this doesn’t apply to but would like to be part of the train?
