On Twinking: Addressing Misconceptions

So the new player does exactly what I did. Or they come to the forums and whine. Ive never got one piece of gear or earned 1 copper from posting on the forums. Not the best place for improving your account.

Was there a point somewhere in there?

So do I.

Gear gap at 120 is considerably wider than at lower levels. Whats the new player going to do there?

It doesnt solve anything. All it does is remove 1 excuse off the table. It doesnt guarantee more wins or that you will have better bg experience.

People are here whining and upset bc they lose. Nobody comes to the forums to complain about winning too much.

Except it very clearly did offer a better BG experience on almost all counts. Except for the twinks - whose purpose is to obliterate characters of their respective brackets, I remind you - that had to be pitted against other characters that capped their experience and so now they can’t just curb stomp their opponents.

No it didnt. There will still lowbie pvp complaint threads made almost daily. Whatever issue they feel is keeping them from winning, will be brought to the forefront.

Such as: faction imbalance, racials, map layout, blizz conspiracies, class imbalance, healers too strong, healers not strong enough, melee mobility, interrupts, cc, DR’s, que times, lack of healers on teams, idiots in bg chat, deserters, deserter punishment and…pre-mades.

If I want to change something, and the change has no impact on you, I wouldn’t expect you to care or comment.

Several players who enjoy playing twinks in BGs have stated that they prefer playing against other twinks. Some players who enjoy playing twinks have insisted that segregating queues is a bad idea.

I hardly think the reason is that it doesn’t guarantee more wins for the non-twinks.

As a side comment, number of wins isn’t necessarily the issue, fair enjoyable play is.

There will always be, and there have always been, complaint threads about every aspect of the game.

Welcome to the forums, hell welcome to the internet since the World Wide Web ruined it, still not a reason against segregated queues.

this people will always cry

I mentioned the other day that not too long ago, the most vocal and one of the most revered twink groups who adamantly make this claim were even shown to be dishonest. I thought “ok, lets find out!” I joined up with them for a day. They completely avoided each other and did several of the stereotypical acts. When I said “I thought you guys only wanted to fight each other?” The leader said “and you actually believed that? Don’t be naive.”

This is what happens, things get exposed.

And the truth shall set you free.

Once you start segregating, when/where do you stop? BoAs in a seperate que? Enchanted BoAs in another que? Toons with outdated gear and no enchants in their own que too?

You might think that one bracket is enough. But there may be others who want more segregation…so once you start, you open it up to more.

Still no adds from our friends who know so much about twinking. @jugajr, add me, I’d love to get some games with you while you’re cruising through 30s and 40s! Svarazic#1199

No reason to after that. There were no legit complaints during those times. The quality of life for everyone was astronomically improved during separation. Never saw any legit complaints about it either.

I have toons of both factions in the 20s, 39s, 49s, 69s, 99s, 109s, and Im tinkering with 119s. I have 120s as well.

Add me.

Those who complain all feel they have a legit complaint. Thats why they are complaining in the 1st place.

You misunderstood. There were complaints, but it was from twinks who were trying to create the illusion that there was an issue so action would be taken. Sort of a “if I can’t be mixed with them, noone can!”. Make sense? Sorry I didn’t clarify.

I’m having fun while leveling. I’m also enchanting my BoAs and buying vendor gear as I level to keep myself current. Am I farming/buying BiS gear? Hell no. But I’m definitely not using gear 20 levels old and complaining about getting farmed.

The same common pattern of projection. :thinking:

Good day, friend!

Yeah, wouldn’t that be a total kick if they were similar?
