Well no one could use enchants and power of your character was based on item level in legion. It wasn’t much of a boost barely noticeable pretty much twinks were even with none twinks yet anti twinks cried out blaming twinks for imbalance classes like survival hunter and disc priest which one could not be killed while the other kill you in 2 hits because it was buffed so people would actually play it.
In bfa enchants were brought back but were nerfed against players to the point it didn’t really give people unparalleled power it was just filled with arcane mages 1 shoting people with arcane missles and disc priests that are unkillable.
Either way twinks died out in cataclysm because everyone was a twink in the pvp brackets the new quest gear was on par with the best items you could get and heirlooms everyone had heirlooms. Plus you could organize a group of people from both sides to que in the twink bracket and not get into warsong so people played in leveling bracket instead.
Easy, because you’re deliberately choosing to play in a bracket where you know good and well that you’re playing against noobs and casual rerolls who’re just trying to learn their class and rotations instead of playing at max level where you know you’ll play against people who’ve mastered their class.
There are positive twinks who are only in it to face other twinks. However, due to the easy “buy blues off the AH and give the illusion of skill” allure that it had which attracted all the inept players to embrace it which is where Negative twinks come into the picture.
I honestly don’t care because I’ve played since the game came out. I know how Negative twinks act in BGs, which makes them super easy to mess with. They never think strategically. Heck, my favorite thing that I used to do was enter the 20s and 30s brackets as a Shaman. Run around the entire perimeter of the BG in Ghost Wolf form while the Negative twinks chased me the entire time. They’d get mad and spam emotes like /spit. It was a great distraction tactic for my team as there were usually at least 2 Negative twinks each game, so in a regular WSG match, that was 20% of their team I would lock down. Due to the fact that I was the lowest level in their bracket, they were bound and determined to get that easy HK so they could feel good about themselves but alas, to no prevail, they just ended up getting trolled.
And the anger from a griefer getting trolled is infernal.

Have to say, it’s pretty funny how the biggest complaint against twinking is pointing out that you can “buy” a twink, or some other version of “it’s easy”. If that truly is the case, every one should have no issue doing it to.
It’s also mildly interesting that your way to get at twinks hurting their team was to hurt your own… Pretty clever.
It’s also funny funny how often people online like to complain about something…before later saying that they are above the problem themselves. Though to do it because you “played since the game came out” seems to be a pretty thin reason.
Choose to twink or choose not to. Either way, it will be in classic. Enjoy!
Maybe I should have elaborated more. Back in Vanilla, even 100g was a lot of money. The best weapon for 19 twinks (since Rogue was so popular) were Assassin’s Blades and they sold for an average of 400-500g each.’’ That didn’t even account for the remaining gear, which all added up.
Saying “easy” may have been a bad choice. It’s not meant to say that it’s “feasible” but that you don’t have to really earn anything. You can just camp the AH for blue gear.
And my way to get after Negative twinks did not hurt my team at all. One person on a team of 10 decoying 2 to (at the most) 4 people was a brilliant tactic. At the very least, the game became 9-8 players. At the best case, it became 9-6 players. I honestly can’t remember ever losing a game where I played a decoy unless it was one of those very rare games that had 1 Positive twink or no twinks.

10% of your team running in circles isn’t hurting your team, but 20% of their team chasing you is? Assuming their were two of them…
And again, you can choose to do it, or choose not to. I’m not sure why it’s so horrible that you chose not to. This is the same sort of inane “logic” that eventually gave us the mess that is retail. “I chose not to do something and that’s not fair!”
Absolutely it is. If 10% of my team is locking down 20-40% of the opposing team, they’re not going for objectives and not helping win the game.
I chose not to do it because it was asinine. The whole idea of decking yourself out and choosing to only fight new players and casual rerolls who’re just trying to learn their class and rotations while telling THEM to “git gud” or “l2p” was just utterly silly. Especially considering those doing it were so inept at max level but their excuses were supposed to be “acceptable?” Silly doesn’t even being to describe that.

So, at max level, do you leave the BG if you come across fresh 120s?
No, that’s silly. There is no more leveling to do at 120.

Did I say there was? However, I believe that you declined to answer because you know EXACTLY what it is in reference to.
I didn’t decline to answer you. I clearly answered you. You asked a yes/no question and the first word in my response was “no.” And yes, I know what you were getting at. You were trying to compare max level to leveling brackets. That debate was destroyed over a decade ago.

You responded to me, but you didn’t answer me.
The debate wasn’t “destroyed”. If your rationale is “The whole idea of decking yourself out and choosing to only fight new players and casual rerolls who’re just trying to learn their class and rotations while telling THEM to “git gud” or “l2p” was just utterly silly.” Then it equally applies to players of any level.
Though, in reality, the entire conversation applies to players of any level. You just need to think that it doesn’t so you can justify your thoughts on the game.
Yes or no question answered with a yes or no answer. Were you wanting me to say “No, drill sergeant?”
lmao! Yes, the debate was destroyed. No, it doesn’t apply to any level of player.
New players and casual rerolls are what you’re going to find in leveling brackets. People who’ve mastered their class are what you’ll find at max level. You know this. You’ll never convince me or anyone else that you don’t. This is why you choose to pick these brackets.
You’re trying to use the “I’m just gearing myself up for PVP, level doesn’t matter” to rationalize deliberately choosing to…
It doesn’t matter what further conjecture or rationalizations you come up with or how you try and sweeten it up, you can’t deny this.

So, you haven’t mastered your class at 119, but at 120, you’re a PhD…? What if they have never pvp’d before?
Also, I was never aware that anything not max level pvp was specifically designed as a limited contact minor league. Can you cite that?
And in a BG, it’s not entirely up to you who you fight, regardless of your intention.
Even at 119, you’re still leveling. At 120, you’re done. Now you work to master your class. No different than in the karate classes. In the advanced class, you enter as a green belt. There are still black belts in there too.
Really, guy?
Don’t change the subject. We’re not talking about 1v1s. We’re talking about what type you’re fighting.
These rationalizations on why it’s ok to deliberately only PVP against new players and rerolls are just plain sad. I can’t believe any self-respecting person wouldn’t feel ashamed of themself.

Twinking… for the unskilled. I’ll pass.
Not necessarily everyone but yes, the vast majority of those who did it in vanilla and most as of late do fall into this bucket.

Wow…just wow…every argument Doom makes is downright irrational and illogical.
“Uh oh! Looks like someone doesn’t like being called out. 
”/
Being called out? I’m pointing out the utter irrationality of trying to determine what someone ELSE’s motivation is for you queueing up to a PVP bg…make less sense please?
“ROFL I never argued that twinking should be outlawed. Save your straw men for someone else.”
Of course you argued it, just like the other tweens argued it and which is why it was dismantled. It didn’t appeal to the crybaby majority. Again, make less sense with your arguments, is that even possible?
“We should make anyone with nax gear or rank 12-14 PVP gear queue up ONLY with other people with the same gear.”
By far the most silly argument of the group…RBG’s didn’t even remotely exist when they turned exp off in the twink argument days. Could you be less informed please? No, in classic you will be roflstomping 60’s in greens and thinking youre “good” while simultaneously making ridiculous posts like this. #lol
" I’m not saying you can’t enjoy twinking for other reasons. I’m saying you don’t . The shear amount of whining that came out of the twinking community after the BGs were divided was deafening, and there are still echoes of it today."
Won’t even bother posting about how juvenile it is to think you know what other people playing a game are thinking. Just reinforces everything i think about every one of your opinions.
Actions spell it out really bluntly.
Quote me then.
Once again, the actions belie the motivations. Y’all made it very clear why you were twinking back when the BGs were segregated.
Meh. I don’t plan on PvPing much in classic.
