Remove Twinking

Not only is being able to turn off exp a RETAIL feature, it was never meant to be in OG WoW, but twinking is for noobs. You literally get 2 abilities and you just brute force your way around with gear. I guarantee the same people that twink are the only people playing Diablo Immoral type games,.

Check your facts….when do you think the queues were first separated?

daily reminder to put players who turn off xp in their own que.

This is just patently untrue. When Blizzard separated xp-off and xp-on players we got a straight decade of almost instant queues in low level brackets and a ton of people who leveled alts pretty much exclusively through BGs, while most of the xp-off brackets just completely died.

This entire thread is filled with deranged twinks coping and seething. Truly disturbing stuff. We honestly shouldn’t be forced to queue with these people regardless of what kind of gear their characters are wearing.

100% agree with you.

I have yet to see a valid reason why they shouldn’t be put into their own que.

You people are the ones here coping and seething. Not twinks. I’d suggest seething less and coping harder, but I expect the exact opposite.

Cope, seethe, mald. Don’t queue if you don’t wanna gear up.

I’m still Level 70, so when I queue for AV, I get my pick of Level 60s to stomp in the Field of Strife.

Why is there no crying about what a terrible player I am who sucks at PVP and just wants to abuse under-geared players because my parental units hugged me too much or not enough and also my beardonger is below-average and did I mention that I suck at PVP?

i’m fine as long as I’m playing on the side with more twinks.

Why don’t you farm the gold, what’s stopping you? If it’s a time issue, Wow just isn’t for you.

Oh I enjoy gearing up bud.
Shouldn’t you be gaining xp so you can keep gearing up?

You couldn’t be anymore wrong.

I don’t twink. I just don’t pretend that twinking is somehow bad for the game. It’s a gear based game. Gear up if you want to compete.

Twinks are a massive force multiplier in BGs and, if you’re not a twink, you should be supporting them if you actually want to win.

Example, back in old old era Wrath, joined up with a HORDE ( remember this part, horde ) 60 twink guild. 80s boosting BWL, AQ40, etc for the best gear, I had a prot warrior in it with around, if I remember, 10,000 hp. at 60. Shield Slam/Revenge slap clothies for 4k+. It was mostly a AV twink guild, but we’d jump into 60 - 69 sometimes for the funsies.

This guild was called Team Lumbermill after the guild lead, Lumbermill ( He honestly didn’t want us to have it named that but we demanded it anyway. ) A fury warrior.

When it was announced, ahead of time, old naxx was gonna close and dual wield two handers talent came in? He got ahold of TWO Might of Menethils at level 60.

This was a time when most AV ques were about 8 horde or so versus a full 40 alliance. This server group pretty much gave up. But when 10 or so of Team Lumbermill showed up, Alliance would QUIT IN DROVES cause they knew it was a loss.

Alliance rushing final boss with 40 people?

We did that with a 10-15 man team and had the rest of the AV que delay alliance at the final boss. We usually won, even outnumbered 20 vs 40.

It was the glorious, fun old days. I remember it fondly.

tl;dr. Just support the twinks. Heal them, etc, and you’ll win.

Literally a “go to retail” moment here.

The way you want it is exactly how it works in Retail. If you want to twink or focus on leveling BGs, that’s where you do that.

If you want to have a different experience from Retail, then the way Classic works right now is it.

Simple , its called jealousy of a superior player, 19 bracket has been thriving every expansion and if you want the cold hard truth, it was a level playing field where everyone was geared to fight and the better team won not on gear but rather skill and coordination. So keep crying because lvl 12s in grey gear gonna get one shot by lvl 19 npc, sorry but id rather try-hard than cry-hard.

This entire thread is WoW gold imo. Complaining about twinks but lets not acknowledged the bot issue. There is no difference between a twink and a max level character with bis gear other than level.
