It’s funny how people make these excuses about twinks. Must be scared to fight other twinks? lol, that’s dumb. Are you scared of fighting other low geared under skilled players?
Graveyard farming does ruin the image of people who twink but thats only a select amount of people who do that, many of the twinks i know like to target other twinks in the BGs.

On counterpart, most people remember them getting smashed by arcane mages/hunters on the 1st AB or WG they join while leveling.
this ALWAYS happens when I joined a game with twinks on the other team. 100% of the time if the enemy team has twinks, they are going to quickly cap 2 and then farm you for the rest of the game at your graveyard. Every.single.time.

You are being matched with other people who have locked their experience gains are you not?
That seems fair to me.
Give the people who want to have their pvp scene at a specific level bracket a playing ground with other people who are interested in such things.
Give the people who want to pop into a battleground while leveling a fun alternative.
Isn’t this pvp scene what you want?

can’t you see how twinkers free farming new/low level players hurt the game more than their entire player base leaving would?
I would if that were the case, but like I said the twinks I’m here to defend today aren’t toxic dirtbags you see roflstomping and emote spamming. They’re a hundred different friends of mine who play this game the same time every day, who come together and share a unique passion they have worked a long time to understand and master.
Yes, there will always be abuse in every system, but I don’t think it was bad enough to haunt that one guy in a majority-twink BG at level 23, who is now 120 and raiding with their buddies who pay the same amount of money those twinks do.
Yeah, or why care so much about being in a seperate que? it’s not going to change anything and has been proven time and time again it’s not going to change anything except your going to be on equal footing. Why cry about it and shy away from a challenge?
This sentence makes no sense and you need to clarify what you are saying. if the brackets are split Twinks will be on equal footing and levelers that out level the gear that is being given in a bracket way before they hit the ilvl cap will be on equal footing gear wise and it becomes a game of skill. You don’t like it that others can can play against people that are not OP?

No, I have been replying to this same question repeatedly but have no problem saying it again: we cannot match with others by disabling our experience gain. We can queue, but we never match up.
Remember this is patch day. This patch also affected stats on gear. ALL of the twinks are online tonight.
No they don’t, they play the match like everyone else. They need a cap then they take it unchallenged, they need a flag cool they grab it and run with it unchallened. They don;t purposely avoid doing objectives to seek out another twink. If that’s how it was we wouldn’t be having this discussion Twinks would welcome their own que.

I like going up against people just as geared and I think its hilarious when I go up against people that are under geared. People put in the time and they get results. Simple as that really
Why do you think it’s silly? I got about as much experience in a battleground as I did in a dungeon, and they took comparable amounts of time. And unlike PVE dungeons, where healing scaling is broken making them impossible to heal when early in each bracket, healing scaling works fine in battlegrounds. So why would it be silly to choose battlegrounds?
I’m actually on your side - I think mixing twinks with nontwinks is pretty much fine - but making nonsensical arguments like this really hurts your case.
It would be wise for one of the twinks to link the bug report in this thread so all the twinks can go say it’s happening to them too. Blizzard responds quicker to bug reports when there are multiple people reporting the same bug.

When were levelers permitted in Rated bgs?
The problem is not “twinks”. The problem is premades, a Blizzard-created problem that has ruined the experience for so many that hardly anyone queues up, because they know they’ll probably be farmed.
Incentivize premades and then balance them, filling in with only a few pugs.
More people would queue up.

twinks can go back to “that” dark age for all that I care.
there’s no balance between twinks and non twinks, it’s a faceroll fest against non twinks…

So Blizz created a separate queue only for turned off exp players again?
Funny.
So Blizz created a queue for turned off exp players again?
Thanks for tuning in - no they did not. Right now all we know is that exp-on folks can get matches in queue, while we cannot.
It wouldn’t be a problem if there was enough twinks to actually get a battleground started. since the patch there have been people in queue for over 4 hours to no avail. there are many twinks but a lot of them are spread out through all the brackets.

Not sure why people who twink think people who don’t would say anything other than “Good!” to this. Our queues won’t be impacted at all and we don’t have to deal with people who get off on farming non-twinks and we get to entertain ourselves on the forums by reading the complaints. Seems like a win win win for us.

I only care about my queue times, which is already the #1 reason why I log out of the game.
The other downside is having to play the same few people over and over, more people leads to a bigger rotation of players and more variety. If you want to talk about something that leads people to not like bg’s - it’s playing against the same people over and over after waiting 10 minutes to get a battle to start with.
We’ll see how it is if I ever get a queue at all. Right now the won’t even allow me to queue for a BG. I just started playing again 2 months ago after not playing since Vanilla, and they just dinged my credit card for both accounts today, but if I’m not happy in a month, I’ll just leave.
You, or whoever I replied to, was the one who tried to claim twinks were scared to play other twinks.
If I decide I just want to bash on people with outskill, I’ll just take my level cap off if I’m understanding the system. Leveling out is not a big deal with heirloom gear, which is what 90% of “twinks” are. I can just keep making new players, get to level 60 and start over. Enchant my gear at the start, it’ll level up, my gear will level up and the only thing I’ll be missing is what?
Much better off all afk non-pvpers in those bgs.
Here ya go…
A much better game with fewer players, right?
