PVP from a twink players perspective, & my solution to fixing it

“Just nerf everything to the ground, so they cant abuse overpowered items”

I am going to be completely honest here. From a business perspective, this is a horrible idea. Do you guys want to know how many WOW tokens I have purchased with intentions to buy either overpowered or unobtainable items from the Auction House? Hundreds of dollars worth. Do I believe some items should be as overpowered as they are? Of course not. But there should be an incentive to obtain sought-after items for more than their transmog.

Both of the ideas that I have presented are horrible solutions economically, and ultimately, neither of them will do any good, as there will always be ways to exploit any video games mechanics, and that’s the inevitable truth.

I completely and entirely disagree with this. I have made a suggestion to scale down items higher than a baseline heirloom/timewarped inside the PvP Instance only. Read it here: Blizz you gotta separate out XP-Off Twinking - #1358 by Tarjana-amanthul

You’re welcome to spend 100s of IRL $ on overpowered or unobtainable items from the Auction House to help you to prety on level 117 with your level 59. If that is your incentive to obtain sought-after items for more than their transmog, be my guest.

But don’t you expect to visit the battleground in those items and expect to use them to full extent while your xp is off. You will find all your gear above baseline level scaled down like you would in a timewalking dungeon.

Once you don’t have the stupidly overpowered gear, you can twink all you want in that particular bracket. If you win against ordinary players solely with your skill, then godspeed you beautiful pubmaster.

But don’t you prevent others from enjoying an extended staying in a particular bracket if they wish to pay the gear downscale price. I am that casual twink who you don’t care about. And I have a voice too. But what I don’t have is 4 hours xp-off queue pop wait time. Because I have better things to do with my life than camp my screen and hit esc to prevent auto-logout for 4 hours like you obviously do.

That and I also enjoy meeting new people from common player pool, not seeing the same old goats every day. I am not coming back into your cesspit full of “serious” 40 year old basement swamplords. I’ve been there. And only introducing a level cap on all items above a baseline iL inside a PvP Instance can drain that swamp.

Dividng the twinks brackets from common player pool is going to make twink playerbase more stagnant, more toxic and more stenchy than it was before mering. It was just awful. But if that’s how you want to spend your life, grinding that 1 in 1000 http://us.battle.net/wow/en/item/9455 please go ahead while I grind something worthwhile IRL, while also enjoying the game like it was meant to be enjoyed, not limited to a special secret club of +1 to stamina 10000 gold payers.
