Look, i dont queue for a dungeon to just watch a Fury Warrior queue in IN THE WRONG SPEC to warp speed run through the dungeon killing everything in their path with complete disregard for the other people that are there and dont level as they decimate EVERYTHING.
Its BORING when it happens. I dont care if you are an unstoppable sentinal right hand of god. And, not leveling? Well, thats a whole different story though isnt it? I think its cheese and just allows a gold spammer to make gold at the expense of others that just want to have fun running dungeons that DO want to level as they go.
If you want to do it in a premade, do what you want. In randoms though? No way, put them in their own queues with other Off’ers.
I mean, we all pay a subscription, just like everyone else, to enjoy the game how we would like to. Don’t like it? Well, too bad. The run is probably, like, five minutes. After that, you can queue again.

I agree.
Now, timewalking is ok. Weekly quest. But. Classic has very long dungeons. Distance wise.
Any other expansion has been fun. XP-Off 11 tank ques, blazes thru and were done with the weekly in 15 minutes as long as the group stays whole, instant ques.
But this week. Ive had 2 dungeons where the tank got ao far ahead the group couldnt loot the last boss. Of course, i dont really care about scales blue gear. I wont use it and my main isnt an enchanter so its useless. But i do want the TW Badges to grab the last few vendor mounts.
If this wasnt the case. I wouldnt care either way.
I can’t imagine a world where I have to run a dungeon that I cleared a hundred times ten years ago and think to myself, “Man… I hope this takes even longer.”
Put level 11 giga-twink Fury warrior NPCs in every group, and just make them run forward spamming whirlwind.
Timewalking is not real content.

how about we put people like OP in their own queue instead? If this was a real issue then he’d be able to resolve it using in-game tools (the votekick function). The fact that he can’t means most players disagree about it being a problem and prefer the xp off guy in their group, so op has to take to the forums to ruin everyone elses play experience because he personally doesn’t like how other players are acting in this multiplayer game. Shameful tbh.

They wont because they are lvl boos sellers for gold or rmt which means token sells
Turns EXP on
Accepts dungeon queue
Teleports out and turns EXP back off
Teleports back in and resumes playing as normal
The fact that you can still walk out of an M+ Dungeon and bypass the restrictions on changing spec / talents tells me there’s no way this wouldn’t work in this scenario.
Most long-time twinks are not selling carries. Those popped up more recently because twinking got blasted to the mainstream with the Anniversary patch.
They all find out no one actually pays for twink carries and if they do its chump change (literally saw one trying to get people to pay 100g per dungeon lol, 100g! It’s nothing). The old non-dungeon, non-twink Dragonflight method is still much faster as well - you just have to make use of Party Sync for it to work now, which is not a problem.
People just assume Twinks are getting paid because they’re “not getting anything out of it” otherwise. (Which is either not true depending on what they’re farming or irrelevant because they’re just having fun or farming timewarped badges or both)
I promise you, twinks are not fueling RMT and Token Sales.

Don’t twinks already have their own queue?
What’s good for PvP is also good for PvE 
Let’s see what happens…
The real and best solution here is to just use the follower dungeon idea for all group content! I actually really like this idea 
Its not that it doesn’t matter, it’s just pre-ruined.
Even without the twinks (which I have not encountered in the past two weeks…sigh), TW is a mad dash spam fest with no time to smell the roses.
TW has long been taken over by folks running it for the quest (do X TW dungeons), for leveling (faster…Faster…FASTER PLEASE! GOGOGO! AHHH!!), or even mount farmers (whom, I imagine, are as sick of TW as everyone else).
LFD is filled with people whom they don’t care about who they play with, and who’s primary goal is to finish (not run, but finish) the dungeons they’re queueing for.
If you care about your experience in group content, you need to care about the group, and are pretty much stuck forming your own with like minding people. Cuz the folks in LFD are probably not it.
After making one I think it’s mildly amusing and requires very little effort compared to other twinking in the past. You can be powerful even without any twink gear, but just getting a socketed amulet and some shadowlands gems to buff your movement speed, you can spend like 10 minutes on it and get 25% movement speed. Then it seems like just doing timewalking will get you decent other gear over time without having to go after much other special gear. There’s some trinkets and stuff as well but you don’t seem to need anything rare or time consuming to essentially re-create the MoP remix walk forward and be a god thing.
I just flew to the rare that drops https://www.wowhead.com/item=200210/amnesia and used the 3 medallions from Dragonflight to get 3 sockets.
Then you can stick
along with other shadowlands gems into the sockets and get 25% movement speed just from that one item and its 3 sockets.
also if you want a self-healing gem.

Heaven forbid they go up in level way too fast while trying to level… what a terrible thing to happen while leveling. My heart goes out for the terrible tragedy they suffered.

Ohhhh I hadn’t thought of that, that makes sense, ty
Does anyone else’s hands just start trembling when you go to Que for TW?
How do you get over the anxiety of possibly having a level 11 join your group?

As long as there’s a checkbox that lets me queue alongside those players and I can continue playing how I want.
You can leave the box unticked and queue up with other players who want to play like you.
I played a bunch of timewalking today on a level 12 priest I made yesterday. Nobody complained even though I did 95% of the damage in most of them.
In MoP remix the biggest complaint was usually if the twink just runs off on their own and one shots everything before you can even touch them, but I just follow the tank and holy nova a few times after he pulls stuff. Remix twinks tended to have enough movement speed to outrun an epic mount on foot though so I think they were harder to keep up with even if a timewalking twink does just run forward.
If someone did complain I could just heal or leave since I don’t really care about it and just made it to try it. My PW:S crits for 100%+ of non-tanks life. I saved a few people with that who decided to pull a bunch of stuff for something to do.
listen here mr. petersen, as soon as me and my wife enters a dungeon we mouse over the portraits to see if there is a level 11 in the group. if there is we get all warm and moist because we know it is going to fast, smooth and a sweet ride to max level.

One odd thing I noticed is that if I queue with a group at the end the queue will never pop even if 5 queue together.
I don’t know if the classic dungeons are bugged with lowbies since they used to split them up into different groups of available dungeons based on level, but I can’t queue with groups at the end even if they want to queue with my lowbie again in vanilla timewalking.
