Twinking is out of control in bgs. A fix: stat cap

[Nzhuv-shadow-council (Nzhuv)]

You check the box that says “Exclude twinks” and bam, a BG is quing random people up who isn’t a twink. At least that’s how i envisioned it.

what about the guy with both boa rings enchanted, chest enchanted, shoulders enchanted, legs enchanted, neck and cloak enchanted, with incendiary ammo and BFA trinkets? should they now exclude levelers with enchanted boas? because the only difference between that and a twink is that a twink will have gloves, bracers and boots enchanted.

you’re always going to have players gunning for a gear advantage over their opponent. they tried templates and no one liked them, so now we’re back to farming gear to make our characters stronger.

Those who have all that stuff, with the leveling turned on, i don’t think they are looking to be twinks in the first place. Unless a twink also means “player who has all that stuff, without turning off their level”, which that case, a twink might as well mean anything low level. Whenever i think of a twink, i think of somebody who first then disables the EXP and gets the best gear possible to be the best as possible in their preferred bracket. I think you less of a choice over that if you left your leveling on.

i’l refer to you back to my original post and expand upon it.

So basically matchmaking. (or an extension if one exists)

Instead of one button, their should be 4 to choose from, from excluding players that are twinks (ones with their exp disabled), people with heirloom and have it be like vanilla, exclude nobody and make it sort of free for all or for funizes: twink only battleground.

Personally, i think people would be happier if they get to do some semblance of matchmaking in battlegrounds. I know you kinda can with the LFG tool, but that’s just looking for a group.

Well ideally there’d be more options than just two - but yeah, there’s always compromises you have to make with things like this.

And there’s a reason they put them back into the queue with everyone else - it wasn’t an accident.

Only if my capped characters can enter games that seperate players in the current heroic+ raid gear and the equivalent from everyone else.

Why are non twinks worried about something that they’ll level out of. You want to kill the gameplay for people that choose to stay that level when you can keep going and never see them again

Most twink gear can be matched by standard dungeon gear, and heirlooms.

Not really. But part of the problem is people who are so badly geared they don’t stand a chance against people even in quest gear.

Low level pvp vendors with pvp epics still exist so bg to level, you still have easy access to decent gear, and not having it is simply being lazy.

I believe you need marks of honor to buy these. A lot of people now won’t buy or otherwise acquire gear because it’s “just leveling”.

Some specs are more OP than others. Some players have been doing pvp for more than a decade and are crazy good at pvp even though they’re not twinks.

Yes, it can, And as you said, most people leveling gear is trash, they don’t bother gearing, which you rebutted your self.

Marks currency yes, can be acquired via main aswell as earned in battleground at low level.

Meaning the content they are leveling in, give the currency to get better gear. And again, that’s their fault, for being lazy to not have gear

Who you kill the gameplay for is the random first timer that wants to do a little PVP while they’re leveling only to find that mess.

…because their queues were like an hour.

Which whatever in my opinion.

Na it wasn’t had tons of games like that in legion
