On Twinking: Addressing Misconceptions

[Lunestra-gorgonnash]

A month? An hour(s) is more accurate.

timewalking is once a month (ish), AP grinding takes more than an hour (lol) and spamming timewalking dungeons in hope of warforges certainly takes longer than an hour.

Sounds like the dedicated player has the advantage, it looks like this game rewards players who play it.
You can be whatever you want to be.

Funny lowbie gankers use the same logic. Weird coincidence.

[Kangmurloc-dark-iron]

I recognize that comparison from somewhere.

[Lunestra-gorgonnash]

I love how every time Lunestra proves you wrong or refutes your point you just pivot to something else. Proves you were wrong about time it takes to gear up a twink, you quickly switch. I’ve noticed reading that no one has actually addressed what she says, they just change the subject or try a diff tactic. i don’t care what they say you’ve demolished these guys lune ^.^

LOL ty. But honestly it’s not about “demolishing” anyone. I’ve just tried to have an honest debate but they always just avoid any question you ask. They should be politicians. xD

I said hour (s).
That doesn’t dismiss the facts that the powerful characters are derived from dedicated players.

I’m just glad Blizzard is continuing the balancing game and not entertaining the thought of separation. Just need these justice warriors to get the picture now.

[Lunestra-gorgonnash]

Anyway. I’m done as there is 0 reason to keep talking to people that won’t be honest. Not a single twink has just said “I twink because I love destroying people and feeling like an immortal god” i mean just own it. I can’t really argue with that. The twinks that feel otherwise advocate for their own brackets, which is admirable.

[Lunestra-gorgonnash]

these justice warriors

im about as far from an sjw as you can get. super kek. ok done for realsies… maybe. Shadownholy i suggest you leave too. They’re already mass flagging your posts too. Just laugh it off.

[Kangmurloc-dark-iron]

Indeed Myninja!
The vison of balance and togetherness is real!

[Jdpp-zuljin (Jdpp)]

Back in my hayday on my other account during bc-wrath I would twink at max level and steam roll everyone on the server. The fear people have from a four time gladiator is hilarious…

[Shadownholy-spinebreaker]

wow you weren’t kidding about the flagging… thats so funny, cya lune.

[Jugajr-emerald-dream (Jugajr)]

Very sad indeed.

“I twink because I love destroying people and feeling like an immortal god”

Imagine this as your mind set

[Jugajr-emerald-dream (Jugajr)]

So stay out of Bgs then. Simple.

What surprises me is that, with all the anti-twink sentiment expressed in this thread, only @Jugajr is actually looking into things. I extended an open invitation to people to come play with me and see what it’s actually like to play with committed, high-skill twinks. It seems like most (both?) of the people in this thread had a bad experience at the hands of a twink and now just want to complain. Seriously–come play with us, and see if your feelings toward and understanding of the twink community changes.

Most of the twinks you’re worried about are people who make one FOTM character, enjoy stomping levelers for a week or two, and then move on. Because–just as I said in the OP–it’s not fun. It gets boring quickly.

Nothing dispels ignorance and misconceptions better than actual experience! @greyhide @Lunestra add me, let’s roll.

That’s a very… black and white view you have there.

Liking to smash lowbies and enjoying a more fair battle between two twinks are not mutually exclusive you know… I fully admit that gloabling levelers is half the fun of twinking. Of course it is. It’s fun to roll through a bg and 1v3 or 1v4 enemy players, anyone who claims that single-handedly taking down multiple players wouldn’t make them grin, at least a little bit, is lying to themselves. But that’s just half of it… seeking out and taking down other twinks on the enemy team is a very fun also. Finding that enemy twink who thinks he is an untouchable god and showing him that he too is mortal is incredibly satisfying. Not to mention the process of gearing up a twink is alot more satisfying, and permanent, than the RNG on top of RNG infinite-treadmill dumpster fire that is end game gearing right now.

There is a much more practical reason that pretty much every twink is against combining ques. I am against it, not because I only want to destroy levelers but simply due to que times. Que times would go through the roof if it was separated again, and absolutely no one likes sitting in a que for an hour.

No one should be 2x my hp and able to 2-3 shot me.

Have you ever leveled recently to 120? This is exactly what the scenario will be as a fresh 120. Even bought and paid for 110’s when compared to 110’s who for whatever reason haven’t leveled, this is the case.

[Jugajr-emerald-dream (Jugajr)]

I have and no, this isn’t the case. The lower your hp, the more damage is scaled down.

[Kanajana-sargeras]

Yeah I can tell you do and that’s ok
