every once in a while, you will get a twink. a level 11 character, xp frozen, with gems and purple/blue gear that due to scaling will literally 1 shot the entirety of the dungeon. they kill every single mob in the whole dungeon in a single hit.
i log into wow to play the video game. i would at least like to cast a spell and feel as if me and my teammates haven’t been trivialized by this mathematical abomination of barely legal gameshark level cheats that just strolled into our leveling dungeon run and proceeds to leave everyone in the dust as they can barely keep up before the twink has killed and moved on to the next pack
“oh shut up we just want fast xp and loot” you have fast xp and loot. leveling has been shortened so much you can get a character from 1-80 in a matter of hours or a day or two at most. twinks are grotesqueries of the games failing mathematics straining under a clunky scaling system.
“just leave if you dont want to be in the group” yeah, sure, and enjoy a half hour leaver punishment for not wanting to sit through the dull and embarrassing chase following a broken character through what is supposed to be a casual leveling environment because the designers have chosen that it is acceptable to let these little level 11 exploitation elementals exist in their game.
i request that XP locked players only be able to queue for dungeons with other XP locked players. if twinks want to twink, thats their prerogative, but keep those horrid things out of the regular dungeon pool with normal players trying to engage with the game in a normal way and actually play the video game.
I get that they want the lower level toons to feel like they’re contributing, but they should NEVER be doing more damage than a max level toon EVER. This should’ve been given an emergency hotfix to drop the scaling back down to earth. At most a lower level toon should be doing the same level of DPS as a freshly maxed toon in quest greens. They should not be able to one shot entire mobs and even bosses. In the 20 years this game has existed it has NEVER been intended for a lvl 11 to do that.
What’s worse is these level 11 shmucks act like they’re doing everyone a favor when they’re not. All they’re doing is griefing and preventing other people from playing. Only being able to cast 1 spell per boss or mobs is not fun and if I wanted to watch an interactive movie I would go play a COD campaign. If they want to lock their xp and go in with those overpowered toons they should only be allowed to group with other xp locked people. Keep them out of team based content otherwise. Obnoxious garbage like that has no place in today’s game.
Those are my favorite runs. Instead of slow, trivial dungeons it’s quick trivial dungeons. So, no thanks to not being able to get grouped up with lowbies.
I signed up for a group activity, not to watch some main character syndrome clown play the game for me. The people who like that sort of thing can always go watch twitch.
