The twink problem

I fail to see how I’m being screwed over. I get all the EXP and I get it faster.

Big win.

Then form your own groups with like minded people and leave everyone else out of it. Again I like to play the game I’m paying for and get to actually cast more than one spell per instance.

Why don’t you form your own group and play with like-minded people, then? :speak_no_evil:

as a twink, i can see how frustrated this topic is for you.

I would 100% love it if bliz would just allow us twinks to solo run time walker dungeons (we got nerf’d last week that we dont even get time walking scroll quest drops anymore) but i still have fun zooming thru. Its just plain simple fun.

It would be nice if “us” twinks could just queue timewalkers with a follower dungeon group. But I tend to group up with at least 2 or 3 other of my buddies to help them zoom thru the 5 dungeon chore.

I tried playing a time walker on my level 80 blood dk that is stacked to the 9s but its just not as fun or as fast as my level 10 or 11 twinks.

What makes your way to play the game, more important than the twink’s way to play the game? People in here talking about twinks having main character syndrome need to look in the mirror lmfao.

You’re upset that every once in awhile during your already sped up leveling experience that a dungeon will be faster because of a twink playing the game a way that they like, and you don’t. You then come on here to complain and act like YOUR way to play the game is the objectively correct way. Get over yourself. Either leave the group or suck it up for 2min like a well adjusted adult and requeue

I have 10-11s and would love to be able to solo run TW. I have been running dungeons solo for the past few years.

Lately when I que I just slow cast, let others play, unless they ask me to run them.

At 11, greens and heirlooms are around ilevel18 while TW drops are ilevel 60 (the lowest scaling for TW before they dropped the minimum from 30 to 10) while TW vendor items are ilevel 54 at the lowest.

And it is only the classic TW vendor items which are available for purchase to level 10+, the original TW event vendors (such as Wrath this week) still require level 30 to purchase.

It seems like they just forgot to scale down TW items (drops and vendor) when they added the classic version and changed the scaling to allow sub level 30 players.

Just for comparisons, a level 11 chest green / heirloom has 3 main stat and 6 secondary while the TW 60 items have double that at 6 main stat and 12+ secondary stat.

Then add in the old TBC socket dungeon blues as a twink option.

These items can have 3 sockets, with many gems scaling down to +3 main stat at the lowest, so one slot at level 11 can have an addition +9 mainstat just from gems.

And at level 10 / 11, doubling main stat and secondaries can significantly increase their power output, which is already scaled higher than needed even if they were wearing actual level 11 gear.

The twinks are playing the game that they pay for, the way that they like. If you’re not a fan then leave the group. It couldn’t be more simple tbh. You’re an adult complaining about how other people play a 20 year old video game btw in case you forgot

I agree somewhat with your thoughts when discussing the posters with the ‘on the meters my geared 80 barely contributes’ statement as though that is a real issue.

However, the backwards scaling and the lack of appropriate gear / gem scaling at extreme low levels is a real issue that should be addressed.

Players should NOT feel the need to create a level 11 to bypass broken scaling and gearing systems and today many feel they should as playing as a low lever is significantly faster (as in 2X, 3X, or more faster) than playing the SAME content with a geared 80 or higher level character.

And that is just dumb game design.

I will never understand people who want leveling dungeons to be hard or take any kind of time. I just want to get to max level as fast as i can so i can play the actual game. Give me all the twinks :wink:

completely agree! If i could play as fast and as powerful on my level 80 blood dk, i would gladly do it but until they allow me to insert a game genie cartiridge into my pc and play wow - i have to resort to this very fast fun play style (the twink) haha

I’m glad I’m not the only one with that kind of mind

If we’re fine with trivializing TW dungeons that give 606 gear, then that logic should be applied across the board, starting with undoing BRD nerfs, but extending to allow low level PvE content (LFR, Heroic Dungeons, T8 Delves), allowing us to 1 shot it all.

I really wish we had a different term than twink to describe these types of players. If they want to make my time in a dungeon go by quickly, I am all for them. I’m all for twinks in general though :slight_smile:

If they’re twinks, they’re mistweavers not brewmasters.

They’re literally the only fun part about Timewalking whenever there isn’t a funny bug present (5-million damage shield bash jumpscare).

Or how about you stay out of group content and form your own groups since you’re the problem and exploiting busted mechanics. you’re not so important that you get to twink at the expense of 4 other people. You want to twink, do it with like minded people and leave everyone else out of it.

If you’re good enough to get through it on your own then I see no problems with this. My issue isn’t the twinks themselves, but people exploiting busted mechanics to do something that was never intended, and doing so at the expense of 4 other people. If a group of twinks want to get together and do whatever, more power to them. Just like the hardcore pvp folks before there was more separation between pve and pvp. I didn’t mind the existence of the pvp folks so long as I wasn’t forced to participate.

They’re allowed to play BUT not at the expense of 4 other people and that’s the problem. If you want to grab a toon and be a 1 man army, you do you, but leave me and everyone else out of it. Your problem is you’re an adult acting like an entitled spoiled child that ruins the fun for everyone else, then wondering why people are getting mad and want nothing to do with you. It’s really simple, you are 1 person in a 5 person group. You do not get to prevent the other 4 people from playing just because you like to twink. Sorry but you’re not that important.

You want to twink, do it with like minded people. Otherwise stay the heck out of group content and quit trying to force your playstyle on others.

You as someone who doesn’t like twinks, are also only 1 person in a 5 person group. You’re just as unimportant as the person who likes to twink in this equation.

You want to run dungeons the way you like, do it with like minded people. Stop trying to force your playstyle on others.
