Blizz you gotta separate out XP-Off Twinking

Jugajr-emerald-dream · February 9, 2019, 4:46pm

The AB I won vs a 3 man premade of twinks was solo queued.

My experience is similar to Juga’s, I think on my way from 10-70 on my Warrior, I played maybe 2-3 games where we actually got “farmed”. The majority of the games, with or without twinks, were pretty even. I do only solo queue though, so.

With that being said…the 110 / 111-119 brackets are super unbalanced right now =/

Sounds like friends were able to use their game time by playing together.
No need for a schedule, just hop on and join in on the action.
How many social events happened throughout those games last night?

Fun games, good times and being together.

I’d actually like to see that, when you have a chance. But I must say, true or not, it’d be very unfair to use that as a rule of thumb on this matter. I’ve shown many screenshots showing twinks to be completely unstoppable in BGs – as have many others – so it’d be unfair to dismiss our cases on a fortunate circumstance.

As for the matter with friends, the only other twink I knew was my brother who unfortunately passed some time ago in a motorcycle accident, so I don’t actually know of any. I’d like to give it a shot again someday, maybe if things get lifted again. I wouldn’t feel right twinking in this sort of environment, it was completely different when he and I were doing it.

Already linked it.

You still in 60’s and Q’d right now juga? I’ll farm your GY I’m the only one on right now though

Kai-wyrmrest-accord · February 9, 2019, 5:01pm

Neat! Again, I don’t doubt that this happens (it has for me as well), but I can honestly say I can only think of once. In every other game, it seems that the losses… especially the really bad ones… had twinks at their top. It’s the only reason I’m actually on here. I truly saw a major problem with it, and it was queue after queue.

We’ve agreed before the damage/health ratio of twinks and non-twinks is disproportionate and seem to agree on the overall solution when it comes to balancing and offering an option for more than one queue, I think we just differ on what should happen before that. Either way, I hope we hear something relevant soon. Questing is kinda boring.

Jugajr-emerald-dream · February 9, 2019, 5:01pm

no I’ll be on tonight after work. One bg and I’ll likely be 70

Knowm-medivh · February 9, 2019, 5:02pm

Oh, I’m prepared. Granted horde has a lot of twinks in 70’s to be your body guards ; /

Jugajr-emerald-dream · February 9, 2019, 5:03pm

No. I am 100% against this and will post against it. Keeping all players in one queue is good for queue times.

Kai-wyrmrest-accord · February 9, 2019, 5:04pm

You mentioned in another thread you liked the idea, though. Or so I thought? Give me me a bit.

Jugajr-emerald-dream · February 9, 2019, 5:05pm

I said if anyone needs a separate bracket it’s the white gear, actual new players. Take out twinks and heirloom gear will just take over.

Jugajr-emerald-dream · February 9, 2019, 5:06pm

God I hate warriors. Damn sauced gave me nightmares

Kai-wyrmrest-accord · February 9, 2019, 5:09pm

I can’t find it. Waaay too many posts to sift through. But that really doesn’t matter, I suppose! But since you say you do disagree, what would you say to players that dislike having their stats templated or equalized? What if I want to face against other players with gear mattering?

Jugajr-emerald-dream · February 9, 2019, 5:18pm

There’s war games for that just like they’d have to do anyway.

Kai-wyrmrest-accord · February 9, 2019, 5:21pm

Right! That’s the second queue, I guess. That’s all I mean, just having one that’s fairly balanced and another where gear/enchants/gems/stat allocations are unaffected. I’d say at least having an option of something on equal footing for levelers to actually… well, compete would be just right.

Mauden-korgath · February 9, 2019, 5:45pm

Just got out of a game with a fury warrior who was borderline unkillable. 1v3’d at mid without dropping below 80%. I think I’ve discovered hell and it’s 20-29.

Kai-wyrmrest-accord · February 9, 2019, 5:46pm

I had a very similar experience that bracket. I expect it’ll only get worse from here.

Scharzula-earthen-ring · February 9, 2019, 5:48pm

60’s bracket just a bit ago. Horde warrior went 40-1 in EOTS.

Kai-wyrmrest-accord · February 9, 2019, 5:50pm

I know I said earlier that I wanted to avoid this bracket in BGs, but if you’re still queueing for 60’s BGs, I don’t mind joining on this druid I’m leveling now. Sequah-WyrmrestAccord if interested.
