Once again, NOBODY leveled in battlegrounds for the simple fact that exp wasnt introduced in BGs until 3.2 in WOTLK. (unless av had exp from npcs? i dont know because I wasnt a big fan of 3 hour fights.)
The day XP off was introduced and the BGs were separated was the greatest popcorn fest ever on the forums is what I’m basing it on, so many whining that their x9 BG with XP off was taking HOURS to pop and it wasn’t fair that they could not steamroll normal players anymore and wasn’t fair that XP on BG popped instantly.
No but I did like to do a battleground or two every level just to break up the monotony of leveling even if it didn’t get me XP.

in fact this is latest. This is the new twink i made in MoP.
Its level 24 so i cant remember if i started leveling it or if 24 was the new twink with the split bgs.
this shows twinking was happening in MoP
not sure what you saw, but in my battlegroup pvp happened util cata when scaling and leg enchant removal (taking 500hp away from us) ruined 19s.
thats when a lot of people stopped coming. games were horrible
personally i think what this boils down to is snowflakes want to be relevant in whatever random gear they happen to have rather then farming the gear they need to be competative.
Did they only separate the xp off battle ground once? If so they must have still been wailing about it during MoP because I didn’t play Cata and remember the same thing.
I have no problem farming gear i need to be competitive at max level. At low levels I just want to level (as that is the point of the game) and take breaks from leveling by playing some PVP.
then quit complaining about not being competitive when you arent willing to try as hard as your competition.

And where am I complaining ? I’m stating facts that twinks are bullies and have no place in WoW and if Blizzard can find a way to get rid of them it will improve the Classic playerbase 10000% (add xp to BGs with no way to turn it off would be best)

subjective opinion, not fact.
Understand that most of the player base does whatever they want and dont want to be told they can’t do something in a game. half of the old crowd left because of overly vocal snowflakes who cry until blizz gives them what they want. that’s a big part of why we have the game as it is.

you are stating your misinformed bias.
If twinks were there to only kill lowbies, then why did they start back up in MoP when scaling was half way decent?
look at my 4k hks ona level 24 made in mop and I played him like 3 months in between raids, rbgs, and arena on my multiple mains.
queues were popping off in xp off bgs in mop
And yet there is a thread currently from today on the General Discussion forums complaining that they can’t get XP off BGs to pop and are upset they can’t go into regular BGs to roll undergeared players.
Sorry but every twink post ever from the beginning of WoW is them trying to find an excuse to overpower others and be bullies.
oh look another one complaining as can’t get XP off BGs.

I havent played since wod so I have no clue what is going on today, but look at my hks…this was way after xp off.
the fact is cata killed twinking with big scaling issues. wotlk was some of the best twinking with seperate bgs.
i have no clue what the issue is today but it probably was another scaling issue because they have made a lot of weird changes that affected low level play.
i popped on a trial in bfa and low level was awful just leveling.
oh there is the issue.
Level 69.
I dont think level 69 ever had a twink population.
19s 29s and 39s were the main ones. a little 49s, but i dont think they had enough following to withstand the xp off.
so yeah, twinking may be dead at 69 because it never really was a thing and no wonder he cant get a queue
Or hey, the many other threads complainging:
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/search?q=twink%20category%3A171
Sorry but all those threads all come down to the same thing, Twinks have no want for fair PvP and only want to steamroll others.

The point he is making is that he is segregated, isolated from the majority of the community because of a choice he made for his character. in earlier iterations of the game he wouldnt have been segregated, and there was no need to because pvp didnt grant exp.
PVP should NEVER grant exp. That was a huge mistake on blizz’ part, because now it’s encouraging people to just pvp to level cap, rather then pvp BECAUSE PVP IS FUN.
There was a large part of the PvP community (the ones that actually matter , not the twinks) that wanted a way to level using PvP as they were not fans of raiding and doing quests.
The fact that it broke twinks was just a bonus side effect.

if you just want xp off, i am fine with that in classic even though I know they wont do that.
lets be honest.
Low level PVP will be way better than end game within 2 years because end game 60 will have twinks in raid gear that you cant get unless you want to raid.
at least at 19 if you want to compete it takes about a day to make a toon. A fresh 60 in 2 years will be cannon fodder the same you were in 19s.
So, twinking will happen, and the funny thing is I bet those who complained so much about 19 twinks will be at 60 in raid gear destroying people and thinking nothing about it.
So if you want xp off, then you should want raid gear seperate bgs where if you have a certain ilvl you cant wreck my 60 non raid gear toon. you can sit and wait on your raid gear on bg to pop
Even in full Naxx gear vs a Level 60 in blues is not going to one shot him like a level 19 twink does to a level 14 who wants to just do a BG to break up the monotony of leveling.
That is the difference. Yes a Level 60 in raid gear will steamroll a level 54 but a level 60 in questing gear it will be a battle.
Do you see the difference ?
