It’s just sort of the mentality.
If you’re old enough to remember “Blazing Saddles” then you should know who Mongo was lol.
E-gads, I just gave my age away x.x

yep, Alex Carras. Great movie, today considered racist I am sure, but it was actually written by a black comedian named Richard Pryor. People understood roasting and humor back then. Today everyone is offended by everything. Very sad days.

These days I’m shocked it hasn’t been boycotted, banned, burned, and Mel Brooks sued into oblivion.
I remember Richard Pryor, great comedian, and quite controversial for his day.

I’ve heard of it but never watched it. I know this will sound weird but until I played Red Dead, I couldn’t stand Westerns.

Richard Pryor… now he was comedy gold. See No Evil, Hear No Evil is classic.

I haven’t seen it on public TV channels in years. Last time it was, it was heavily censored.

Because the point of BG’s is to PvP. To gain XP in a BG, you must PvP.

PvP requires gear.

Brooks and Pryor were making fun of racists and bigots, not encouraging them.

There was also a joke that, so the story goes, was left out:

“Ma’am, I don’t know what you think you’re doing, but you’re sucking on my elbow.”

How backwards have things become when those who are preparing their toons accordingly to win contested instances, are considered the problem.

The reasons that players choose one play style or another are legion, accusing an individual of a choice based only on your impressions of others who may have made similar or the same choice is simply foolish.

Some twinks do exist to roll over other players, claiming that all do is no more accurate than claiming that none do.

Honestly, my favorite thing ( before they removed set bonuses from old tiers… ) was twinking for Timewalking. I took MONTHS to gather up a set for mix/max’ing my toons for speed runs through TW dungeons :sob:

Why they choose to stay in one particular bracket with locked xp is as you stated can be any number of reasons. But you cannot deny that twinks do roll over levelers, even if that is not their primary reason for staying within that bracket.

Actions speak louder than words.

If they truly wanted to fight other twinks, there’d be queues popping. The means to coordinate games have been around for years now, and communication is easier than ever. Yet their queues aren’t popping.

If you still look to words, there’s a couple people who said that of course they wanted to fight other twinks, but roflstomping people was fun, too.
