The stigma against twinking never warranted this

They actually popped for you?

I liked templates too, but as I said, too many people complained. They realized they didn’t like having skill matter more than gear after all. Though if they thought about it, when Resilience was removed in MoP was when we really saw how much gear did matter.

I LOVED templates for max level BGs. Still saw quite a few low level BG complaints, but never really did any at that time.

Eh? Solution is rather easy, mathematically speaking (not sure what their actual code looks like though): Just clamp/ceiling the ilvl when doing the scaled damage roll. That would solve like 90% of the issue with people wearing rando epic BoEs from the next expansion’s bracket.

I mean, the scaling code already has a floor for ilvl, adding a ceiling should be easy.

And I guess this is where we get to my bottleneck of “too bad, so sad”, but gun to my head a template change permanently enacted would create an entirely new force of twinks, in it only for the low level competition. And I would revel in it. regardless of twink unhappiness

Despite that, I hope, since this thread is winding down now, we can at least move on and see what tomorrow brings whether this is a bug or a feature. And not be so stressed out, both sides.

If it’s a bug? I’ll keep this thread at heart and make an effort more than I usually do to quell toxic behavior when I see it, more than I’d usually do. I think we should all play a part in that role.

If it’s a feature? Well, you may never see me again, but I’ll die on the hill saying twinking was worth it the entire way. Made some damn good friends because of it.

Night everyone.

My guess is bug… these queues are not popping even with xp on.

I completely support OP, there is nothing wrong with twinking. It has been since start of wow.

Its the RPG aspect, the more geared you are the more powerful you are.

If you are getting destroyed in BG, then improve your gear, its simple as that.

Twinking is legit gameplay, they should be allowed to que with normals instead of having seperate que

I know right, how dare the rest of the people running BGs not want to get killed in 2 seconds by a twink? The nerve!

It aint low effort at all, they did put effort at improving their gears and getting the best ones, it is those who are getting destroyed that should look into their gears and improve it if they want to put a fight

You keep saying to improve gear over and over.
Most people are just doing the odd bg. I’m not gonna farm for gear that I won’t use after leaving said brackets.

Stop using dumb arguments.

Nothing dumb in it, either you improve your gear or get destroyed by those who did, its your choice if you wish to put effort or not.

Or blizzard seperates the queue again, which it looks like they just did.

Checkmate.

You keep singing the same old tune. People are leveling to max content.
Not to stay in some low level bracket with a bunch of people who think they are skilled because they can 2-shot newbies/alt levelers.

It doesn’t look at all like they separated queues. It looks like you got your wish. Twinks can no longer queue for pvp at all. Gratz on driving players from the game. Good work, I’m sure there’s a job for you at blizzard.

Want to know why people don’t do what you’re doing anymore? Look up the definition of Twink in the urban dictionary. Stop being a twink.

this thread is absolutely hilarious. if you twinks actually wanted fair pvp , you would play at 120 like any normal person. you want to stomp all over low levels, period, the end. it’s pathetic. i’m extremely glad you are out of ques. hope blizz keeps it that way. some people here, especially this warlock, is like a 200 pound 7th grader telling a 100 pound 4th grader to “get better at fighting and stop complaining”. how miserable are your alls lives lmfao

you guys are smurfing, nothing more, nothing less, and this is why nobody cares for you or sympathizes with you. and even WORSE, you’re smurfing with OP gear. you say “anyone can get this gear”, dude, nobody casually leveling up and doing random bgs cares nearly enough to go get gear to have a chance against you , while leveling, as they will be past that bracket in only a few hours tops of playing. they shouldn’t have to anyways. i can’t get over these people trying to defend twinking, it’s blowing my mind they think they actually have a case.

Assuming this new change is deliberate, it will decimate the Twink community for the second time in WoW’s history.

Blizzard will lose more money than it makes from fewer leveling players complaining, as many players choose to unsub either as a protest, or because they simply don’t find BFA content compelling enough to keep paying.
