On Twinking: Addressing Misconceptions

Stay tuned for the best part, coming soon.

Once you start segregating, when/where do you stop?

Ahh, the domino theory.
So you have no objections to segregated queues per se, it’s just that it would set a bad precedent?

I think players should have the choice of what they get into. Perhaps have 3 queues.

One is for xp locked only for twink fights(those who actually DO enjoy it).
One (the default) is the current mixed.
The last one is just basically levelers.
You select the one you want when you select your role.

I think this is better than just a blatant xp off here, xp on there. Although, I’m sure the queue times would increase, but the player choice would also so it’s a tradeoff I suppose.

Anything’s better than the current.

Yes. See above.

I was here long before xp was added to lowbie bgs. I was here when twinks were removed. Im still here now. Honestly, I will be just fine with whatever happens. Im just tired of the pruning, separating, and general attitude of “its too hard for me, so change X” attitude that permeates this game.

So, we agree that twinks should be in a separate queue now, right?

Exactly, and the forums will still be flooded with tears.
It has been this way since day one.

Didn’t you do this to another player before?

Umm … no he didn’t say that?

“It’s no skin off my nose if you do that stupid thing” isn’t quite the same as “Sure I agree whole heartedly”

[Kangmurloc-dark-iron]

You are late to this whole fiasco. Please trust me on that.

This is advocating an option to queue separately. Is it not? This is something we can all agree on?

[Greyhide-khadgar (Greyhide)]

Yes, the consensus agrees with this.

[Kangmurloc-dark-iron]

Yes, the consensus agrees with this.

Source? Statistics?

Tomten asked me if my aversion to separating ques was due to the domino theory.

That was my reply. Once you start, where/when do you stop? Some people just want twinks out. Others want even more separation. Quoting the post was backing up my concerns.

You’re welcome!

In regards to Greyhide
Dude he’s a troll, literally of the ones that live under a bridge, I guess the wifi has gotten so good he gets a signal down there and lives on these forums now all day.

[Kangmurloc-dark-iron]

Sample size is too small, seems like it may be player issues at this point.

Jugas experiment is underway which should document, or at least give us a good observation of what is happening.
More information is coming forward every day.

Then I apologise for misunderstanding your point, redundant as I may find it.

Yep. All the world’s a stage and we’re out to get you and the twinks. Remember, it’s the twinks that are the victims here, not the people they farm day in and day out.

[Greyhide-khadgar (Greyhide)]

Sample size is perfect. Goes back quite a few years.

victims

Another familiar word.

[Zhi-moon-guard]

Another familiar word.

An astute observation.
