The goal of classic is to make an authentic recreation of vanilla wow.
Making changes goes completely against that.
And just because you made your statement about us getting upset let me ask you a question.
What is the point of this change even? There isn’t going to be enough twinks for them to even effectively have their own bracket without massive queue times.
Who is this change being made to appeal too? A small subset of players who don’t like getting wrecked by twinks? What’s the difference between that and a fresh 60 getting destroyed by a GM/HWL?
And lastly, since you seem so disdainful of those of us who want classic to be unchanged, why is it so bad for us to have an authentic experience?
We’ve already seen what happens when changes are made to the game after all.

Funny thing, that. Once Twinks got put into their own bracket where they would face only other twinks… people stopped twinking.
Gee, I wonder why.

“A small subset.”
Thanks for reminding me of this dark time in WoW’s history. Going into Isle of Conquest would easily have 15-25 people afking with bots that’d go on a specific course…it was actually stupid.
AV was also bad, but the bots were less obvious…or at least seemed to be.
Can you confirm that the majority of the playerbase is against thinking?
Even the op could only generate 7 likes, meanwhile the two next posts hit 40+.
Seems those against it are in the mass minority.
What will you do with those pesky lvl 60 twinks…
Of a sample from a forum for a game that doesn’t even have a release date, of which many of the participants could be considered ideological fanatics.
Not exactly an unbiased survey there.
Shrug. It’s not really twinking at level 60, but is it really any different when a fresh 60 is fighting a gm/hwl/someone in naxx gear?
So what is your source then?
If this idea is so popular how come it isn’t implemented in retail?
And while your at it.
How do you ensure twinks que for their own bgs?
How do you ensure twinks have decent que times?
How is facing twinks any different then facing people who drastically outgear you?
It is.

When blizzard added exp to BG’s and made exp off BG’s the exp off(twink) BG’s died off while exp on bg’s did fine. I’d say twinking is vastly less popular than some people claimed it was.
They did it by adding exp to BG’s and giving twinks the option to queue for exp off BG’s in their own queue.
It proved that the twinks who claimed they were in it for a pvp challenge were lying through their teeth. If they were interesting in legitimate pvp their queue times wouldn’t have suffered.
And if all they care about is killing something with no chance of fighting back, well they can go kill level 1 boars.
except it’s not. twinking isn’t as common, but it isn’t segregated.
I think it may be…
either way. doesn’t need to be in vanilla.

An authentic experience doesn’t mean make “improvements” to the game.

especially when people can’t even agree what is an improvement and what isn’t.

Blizzard just reinstated separate BG queues for players with XP off.
The evidence does seem to indicate most players that twink do so not to fight other’s twinks as they claim, but rather to steamroll lesser geared players. This evidence is not just the fact that the twinking community drastically diminished practically overnight when separate queues for XP off players were first introduced, but also the crying on the GD forums now and the mental gymnastics those that are crying are using to justify their desire to steamroll lesser geared players.
Having said that, you are correct that twinks we’re not segregated in vanilla and, IMO, should not be segregated in classic.
I think we can all see why at least one poster in this thread wants that change that would take classic further from vanilla.

When did they increase the minimum lvls for enchants? I feel like that more than anything else made twinks ridiculous…
I would raise the min. level on the extremely powerful enchants…like crusader, highest agility, etc…
No changes.
