Twink Safety Alert

Level 10s/11s are getting banned.

Many reddit threads, much chaos. If you value your account, do not use any join group macros to dodge the xp off penalty for group members, like the one on BETI’s 10 guide. That seems to be the commonality between banned persons.

So no selling runs! Twinking is just for fun.

I dont know whos buying runs but the Qs are like 2 mins for dps lol

During the anniversary, I was queueing with a level 70 from my main account and an 11 from my trial account. As of yesterday, if I did that again, my account would get closed permanently.

Seems a bit much, hopefully blizz releases a statement.

Why do people hate twinks so much? I honestly don’t get it.

Why is helping people hit max lvl faster bad?

My best guess is its just false flags being raised somehow. I sincerely doubt they would seriously start closing accounts over their own garbage scaling.

How is this different from queueing with a level 20 on a trial account (max level for them) or a level 70 on a wow account that hasn’t purchased TWW? Yes I realize it’s not as fast as a 11, but it’s pretty darn close. I just don’t get the hate.

P.S. No funny stuff like a macro required in both the 20 and 70 cases. They’re at max level and won’t gain XP.

I guess selling the runs is the issue, not twinking in and of itself?

That’s my assumption, anyway.

Well cuz your not playing both accounts at the same time, that would be in category of botting

Reddit is only good for NSFW content. Outside of prn, the site is a nonredeemable dump of lowlifes.

Uhhh, multi-boxing is legal as long as 1 keystroke equals 1 action on 1 character. This is NOT botting. Example, alt-tab between multiple windows and pressing a key / clicking the mouse per character.

Reading the thread you linked (and seeing Community Council people talking about AI moderation is pretty yikes) it says that if you queue with a twinking character for Timewalking, the other characters in the instance are supposed to get an XP debuff.

People were using workarounds to get around the debuff. That’s an exploit, and probably why they caught a ban.

Multi boxing is not legal as from BFA , if all your characters perform the same keys

From what I can see of the linked thread, it appears that it’s the act of bypassing the xp lock debuff that is causing the bans?

Did you even read what you quoted before responding?

Multi boxing is perfectly within the rules

This is what gets you the ban hammer

I have a little level 11 I do a time walking or two with for giggles. Why would anyone buy or sell runs with them?

Because some people are bitter and need to complain about something.
