On Twinking: Addressing Misconceptions

Kangmurloc-dark-iron · January 10, 2019, 1:48am

The only thing that looks familiar here is the same use of real life comparisons and passive aggressive nods.
More information comes out every day.

Nah, I have toons with enchanted BoAs for leveling ( which includes battlegrounds… ) but I haven’t had an actual twink since MoP when I last geared this one.

Kangmurloc, I mean this sincerely you are probably a really nice guy irl. But sometimes I can’t understand what point you’re tryin’ to make bud.

If you play the 119 bracket and you’ve had a twink /hi or /wave to you regularly then we’ve crossed paths

I dont /spit or /lol at people I stomp it adds insult to injury. I do enjoy the occasional /golfclap or /shoo.

Normally the defining characteristic is keyboard turning and backpedaling. I’m sure there are exceptions but this seems to be the norm.

The human /doom is my new favorite emote vs other twinks, “I’m going to hurt you… A lot” rofl it’s too good

/ruffle #1

Welfarê-silvermoon · January 10, 2019, 1:55am

That’s my fav too, when I’m not too busy keyboard turning and backpeddling…

Lunestra-gorgonnash · January 10, 2019, 1:55am

idk if i twinked I’d personally love to only fight other twinks. Its the same reason I don’t like to kill lowbies in wpvp, super boring and mean spirited. However I know there are those that love to gank lowbies and they make the same arguments a lot of these twinks make.

Lunestra-gorgonnash · January 10, 2019, 1:56am

Maybe you’re the exception. I mean you have like 3 abilities at that level so I can’t imagine you’d have to keyboard turn.

Greyhide-khadgar · January 10, 2019, 1:58am

Lildude who was considered a God in the twink community spent his off-time ganking lowbies in Tarren Mill before he disappeared.

Can I hear the one about the Ghost Wolf shaman running cross country again? I enjoy that story

Greyhide-khadgar · January 10, 2019, 2:00am

You and me both.

Welfarê-silvermoon · January 10, 2019, 2:00am

No, no, please the one about the 4th grader…soooo awesome!

Lunestra-gorgonnash · January 10, 2019, 2:02am

Color me completely not shocked. It’s the same mentality. Bullies always justify their actions too.

Greyhide-khadgar · January 10, 2019, 2:04am

He always said the “red is dead” justification for it. Technically, he wasn’t “wrong” or breaking any rules but once Arenas were introduced, he wasn’t able to break 1000 and was never heard from again.

Lunestra-gorgonnash · January 10, 2019, 2:05am

lol. Not surprised.

My 80* Ele Shaman half twinked during MoP.

Jugajr-emerald-dream · January 10, 2019, 2:20am

https://imgur.com/a/lkqWvKr 5-2 tonight. 4-2 last night. Just hit 20 All I can say is GJ to the Horde who carried me from 10-20 these past two nights. Was actually really grueling as an Aff, or really any Warlock. Here’s to the 20s tomorrow night! Oh, and the last BG I wasn’t going to do, but had 4 bars till 20 so I figured why not. 10 minutes in queue, get an in-progress match with 1 minute 20 seconds left (alliance had 2 caps to our 0) ofc game ends and I get my 4 bars. Leveling experience is worth it to not have to do quests.

Awesome expansion for Twinking!
I still remember the first DK to obtain the Sunlute in MOP.
Those Battlegrounds were wild.
