Twinks, AI and Separate XPoff Queues

Alliance premades with 100% twinks are the problem. It’s 100% clear when most of the characters have unspellable names so you can’t armory them that they’re premades. It’s the people who are starting these threads who are the ones running them. No question in my mind.

Disc isn’t balanced even in late 30’s, gear or not.

Horde does just as many premades as alliance. Its not exclusive to 1 faction you banana.

Go ahead and say that. I have never seen another horde twink in one a character of mine solo queued for, but it was clear that the Alliance players were were up against were anything but solo players.

See thats the problem - the devs are attempting to tune all the outlying gear which is good. But they are leaving the classes high and dry, so what sucks now is still gonna suck later.

You sound like the complaints on EU forums regarding Russian names. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

What do real “crybabies have to gain”? Who has what to gain? What suddenly changed?

Ion announced they were ending xp off 110+. These people needed to distract from the fact that this will greatly inconvenience them.

295

It’s common knowledge that low levels have never been balanced. At least they are attempting to balance gear.

Do I speak Russian? Do you play the game, if you spend time stalking players on multiple forums?

So your belief is that when they have a name with alt codes they are a premade. The desperation to blame your epic fail and death in bgs on alt code premades lol.

Crybabies want twinks gone so they don’t have to put anything into gearing.

Was a blue post who announced this, then immediately detracted their statement saying they can come up with a different way.

Hard to prove they were even Twinks if you cant armory them. :ok_hand:
I am active in all brackets, and have yet to see what you mentioned in NA.

Heh, most foolish thing I’ve heard. Anyway, have a GN all!

Won’t be responding much due to the IRL issues I mentioned a while back, but…

Weird, it’s almost like people want levelling BGs to be a side hobby and a supplement to levelling again, not an avenue of progression.

And, as a twink, I don’t want twinks gone. I want us back in our own queues where we can fight other twinks in a competitive environment.

Lying here, I’ve had a lot of time to think and try to understand where you’re all coming from, but the simple fact is that the purpose of twinking is to exploit the gap from having an unlimited time to gear by capping experience to destroy players of their respective brackets, all because they’re not planning to stay at that level, thereby hindering (if not outright destroying) their PvP experience in said bracket.

Other twinks, like myself, cap at a max level bracket at the max of a certain expansion. I daresay this used to be the most popular form of twinking because I used to get 70’s-exclusive queues no problem for both Arenas and BGs; alas, it looks like the appeal of roflstomping defenceless levellers apparently has more appeal than that nowadays.

Now one of the biggest “concerns” is that separating the queues again for levellers and twinks is that those twinks would face much longer queue times again. For the 60’s, 70’s, and other such brackets, this would not be the case. For the #9’s brackets, however, it would. Simply for the fact that those brackets were created exclusively to exploit the gear difference between them and a leveller.

So, how do you make everyone happy? Well, you don’t. You separate the brackets again and let twinking brackets be level-exclusive. As mentioned before, this wouldn’t be an issue for brackets like 60, 70, 80, and etc., and for the others, they’d have no purpose to exist if without a means of stomping on defenceless lowbies - a community I find it repulsive Blizzard even enables.

The devs have outright said random BGs are meant to be a fun, viable, alternate means of levelling. Twinking is claimed to be an alternate avenue of progression and competition. A levelling player simply does not have the time (nor often the funds) to farm for and buy the gear just to be on a relatively equal footing with twinks for the short time they’ll be in that bracket. And the gear disparity is enough that twinks do more often than not determine the outcome of a game. The two cannot justifiably be intertwined.

There will not ever be a solution to make everyone happy. But it’s fair to say the levelling player should have an enjoyable levelling experience. Separate twinks and levellers again.

I paid a few gold for these items. 2-3g
Not to mention the drops I get while doing dungeon queues on lower levels, usually one BOE per two runs.
At level 36 stats can be comparable to BOA items at level 39.
All BFA lower bracket items are scaled like this to offer many easy options.

Those are missing 1 Stamina, 1 Secondary stat compared to the end tier x9 BOA items at 39.
This system is the same all the way up 10-109.

I feel like I should be able to normally rebut this, but my god does Humira mess my head up. Sorry if I don’t make sense at times, it’s been hell here. I know that’s really not relevant but I want to discuss this more when I’m back home and don’t want to be dismissed as an ignoramus in the meanwhile.

All I can say in the meantime is I felt the difference. It was significant. I wasn’t exaggerating when I mentioned I was down in two casts just riding to a Balance Druid. I saw the matter with trinkets was resolved, and that’s a big relief. Maybe I’ll make yet another alt for the heck of it and posts SS’s along the way as I level them.

I didn’t realize people who were “pretty nice” called people names. Something doesn’t add up :thinking:
