Leveling brackets que times 3xs as long now

Remember when anti-twinkers said that the leveling brackets wouldn’t be affected at all if twinks got put in separate ques or that it would actually make the ques shorter now that people can BG and level? (which by the way, is one of the worst ways to try and get XP aside from mining / herbing)

Can we all just laugh at how stupid that notion was? Now levelers have ques 3x’s as long and twinks have no BG ques at all.

I’d rather have to be in BGs with twinks than have no BGs at all. :woman_shrugging:

Remember when pro-twinkers said that there weren’t even many twinks ruining our BG’s and now they’re claiming that there were so many that we can’t get queues to pop without them?

That or levelers are leveling in a more fun leveling experience called classic.

The only reason to play retail is for end game.

I think I’d disagree with boars chain resisting your 1111 rotation being more fun but I’ll agree that classic release probably has more to do with any queue time dips than the twink split.

Lol dude boars are a tiny part of the questing experience.

Have you tried the spleucher? Where you have to try and invade the keep full of gnolls? If you don’t use your entire kit and pick your path very carefully you’re gonna die.

It feels alive/dangerous and great! Definitely better than leveling on live where I spam my aoe button on 3 mobs and never drop below 75% health…

To each there own I guess. I don’t think anyone can deny that more people are leveling on classic than on retail right now.

Now that there are timers this is viable.

Nope.

Then why did they make the change in the first place? It ruined a part of the game for a portion of people for no reason…?

Nope, what expansion did you come from? I remember a majority of anti-twinkers supporting the diversion along with twinks.

I mean, I don’t think any twinks supported the diversion. It happened in the past and it literally killed off twinking and BGs…the decision was known to just be history repeating itself and it has. Now nobody’s BGing AND twinks have 3 day long ques.

It’s a lose lose.

Alot of people are playing classic since BFA is in kind of a dry spell

By the way, being on a RP realm, your name is a rule violation. I’d get that changed.

Nope, I remember the 19 bracket being alive and well. There were no 3 day long ques. What battlegroup did you come from?

Oh, but please disregard me as trolling. CIHC says hello~

Are you a xpoff com person too?

Because that change un-ruined BG’s for everyone except for that portion.

So ruin the game for some, so others can also have ruined game because there’s no ques? Okay.

If there are no BG queues for lower level brackets it probably has more to do with Classic and BfA being terrible than twinks not being allowed. Consider the fact that this is a population that doesn’t even field enough players to get one game in their own queue to pop. it’s not possible that insignificant number players would make a worthwhile difference.

Your attempt to get the queues merged together again by framing it as if levelers need twinks is very transparent. I honestly can’t see how people even find it fun. I had this Ret twinked out at 119 with all of the Anniversary gear. Had the 2h sword and everything. I got so bored after 2 weeks of destroying people i just leveled to 120. Shortly thereafter the queues were separated and I was glad to see it. It honestly felt like griefing/borderline abuse just wrecking people in BG’s and ruining their experience.

Mmm, I’m being ignored now. How tasty. Glad I could make you salty.

‘Some’ being people who got their fun by degrading the game for the majority, yes. It’s been said multiple times in this thread alone that classic likely has more to do with any dips in queue times than twinks being ousted.

There were no queue problems in-between the separation and classic. There is no doubt that if there is some kind of issue, it’s not related to twinks being rightfully separated.

You also don’t mention what bracket you’re experiencing as “completely dead”, which is suspect.

The only “issue” is the participation.

Which I mean, 3’s and RBGs took the hardest hit.

The most popular bracket? It’s not like that anymore. :woman_shrugging:

Idk what this is supposed to mean. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I’ve used them for guides, but not really.

I mean, would you sit on a character who’s only purpose is to play battlegrounds and nothing else…? I tried it when it was first turned to XP off brackets and even then the ques were so long I got bored and pretty much stopped.

I disagree, like I said in OP: Better to have twinks and BG ques than no BG ques for either side.

I mean, that’s literally what I stated in the OP…so, good job on being able to read? They don’t NEED twinks, it’s just dumb to ruin the ques for both sides.

That’s fine, a lot of people don’t understand why playing WoW is fun at all, or video games, or anything else for that matter.

I think It’s particularly funny that you and others generally admit to not understanding it, yet feel you should be able to dictate what happens to it.

I didn’t even get a notification for your post…so…weird flex, but okay.

I’d argue being able to do battlegrounds at all is better than not ever being able to do them while leveling. That’s how its always been. The game’s also generally degraded for these people because of themselves.

I’ve played since late vanilla and the amount of times I’ve seen players cry “Omfg X player is a twink!” and them being just a regular player is ridiculously high. A lot of the times It’s just players half naked in questing greens who really shouldn’t be in PvP in the first place complaining about everything.

Regardless, It’s silly to further splinter it and make it worse vs. making it better for everyone.

Every bracket besides 110-119 is pretty much completely dead. Like I said, better to have BGs than none at all in my opinion.

They were sitting on those characters before the split… no?

What I’m hearing is that there used to be a lot of them. If there were enough twinks to make XP-on queue times plummet in every bracket than there should be enough of them to get XP-off games to pop in every bracket.

The fact is that you are or were a part of a pretty small group. If our queue times are hurting, it isn’t because you’re not around anymore.
