Twinks are Ruining Battleground Queues

To be fair once they add RDF you can gear easier and get some Blue items for low level BGs. So this should make low level BGs more fun and competitive. Once RDF comes out look forward gearing up Alts for low level BGs.

Also once you get to max level what do you do? You Twink and Min/Max gear so why not do that now and have fun learning your character on the way up to max level.

Everybody hating on OP likely runs twinks of their own or just couldn’t resist joining the bullying bandwagon to be cool. Either way, disgraceful way to treat somebody who is already frustrated.

It’s a valid complaint. You can personally gear all you want, which I do as I level (heirlooms, blues, honor items) but it will never be as good as xp off full bis. And what good is YOUR gear when RNG hands you a team full of lowbies, afks, bots? No matter what, your team winds up being HK fodder.

And newsflash, there ARE plenty of dedicated twinks out there. Alliance 69 and 79 bracket especially. I have leveled so many toons through the brackets over the past months, and you queue into the same people you did months before.

Preying on the weak has become a full time sport. Realistically, who is coping here?
Those who NEED to queue with every advantage possible, FAPs, jump strats, party queues…being fair is no longer fun.

Y’all better not wonder why the game is dying after grinding every casual into the dirt until they stop playing. Look at arena participation even.

Newsflash part 2: XP off having a separate queue became a reality in retail because it is a recognized problem but they already know there is not enough of a playerbase to do the same for classic.

And ask yourself, would twinks keep playing as eagerly if they had to face each other exclusively? No, most wouldn’t.
Would levelers queue more if they knew they stood a chance? Absolutely yes. So, yeah. XP on bg queues would be fine. Especially during JJ. It’s the twinks that would suffer. Everyone would lose their minds!

This isn’t true at all since xp-locked characters had their own BG bracket in the original.

This part of xp-lock was removed for classic specifically.

Did they say why they changed that? Worried that queues would be too long if they separated players?

I think what they said was, its better to get games with twinks compared to no games at all. Paraphrasing but something like that.

Their logic is so all over the place. I’m not going to veer this thread into RDF, but they’ll do anything to lower pvp queues, and make the content accessible as possible. But pve-wise, they couldn’t care less.

Yeah i think we all noticed that a long time ago. They’ve made very interesting changes for… odd reasons or no reasons at all.

That’s what I’d assume, the xp-lock bracket back in OG was virtually dead cause it turns out twinks don’t actually want a fair fight.

Go figure :stuck_out_tongue:

I must have ran into some level 80 twinks then, because I just had my team pin horde and grave camp them in EoTS.
That happens every bracket, and twinks are not nearly as prevailant as people think they are.
I can name nearly every level 79 twink because there are so few of us on either side, actually.

Cope harder. Twinks are here to stay.

Agreed! I twink, too and it pisses me off to no end when they do that crap in WSG.
Twinking is fine, being a jerk and using exploits and cheats, is not.
That is not twinking at all, that’s just being a d-bag.

How so? Isn’t that the exact same thing twinks do?
The only difference is that twinks don’t level out of whatever bracket they chose.

How well do the games pop during the non weekend calls?

It gets slower. BGs may pick up with better times for the dailies up. Non dailies lets jsut say it took so long when they popped I forgot I signed up for them lol.

The whole point of the game is to Twink your character. Doesn’t matter if it’s at low level or max level. It’s a gear based game and the fun is gear progression. The OP should gear up some for BGs. Obviously when RDF comes out will be easier to get low lvl blues.

You know who is frustrated? Twinks!!! What the OP suggested already ruined BGs in Retail and if he likes that he can go play retail. Sorry but why do we need for Classic BGs and PvP to be ruined too!!!

Anyone who wants separate Ques is actually Selfish. They are the problem with WoW today and they need to stop. Dam it’s just actually so annoying. Twinks help PvP more than you know. It’s the lifeblood of WoW and it’s a good thing in Classic everyone can do it. Key word… Everyone.

PvP was ruined once by listening to the minority like the OP. Lets not do it again.

Thanks

Separate Ques killed Retail BG PvP. It literally made it harder to PvP and hurt bracket PvP forever. So you are wrong.

The whole point in Queing for a BG at lower level is to test your might and skills against other players and to take a break from the leveling experience to enjoy some PvP.

If you aren’t enchanted and haven’t started professions and Que for a BG. You just aren’t trying. Sorry but if you don’t have potions, or even try to gear up for combat why are you Queing?

The biggest mistake that Blizzard made was adding experience to BGs because all it did was get players that have no desire to PvP at all Que up to level. BGs are not supposed to be for leveling. They are supposed to be for PvP and the side effect is you get to level however it would be better if experience was never added. So you actually get players there who are there for PvP.

It’s almost like there’s a reason twinks were given exp off BG’s.

Which they refused to play in because they just want to steam roll non twinks…
