Totally different, and it’s hilarious you can’t see it.
Twinks in WoW are people who join each new game with the best gear possible.
In MOBAs, you all start at zero, each match, so you both have a chance to “outgear” the other side. It’s your skill and tactics in the match that let you outgear.
C’mon now… that was a really sad comparison.
Last I checked mythic geared players cannot 2-shot fresh 120s. Not only that, but at least in max level you have a reasonable chance of winning vs a twink player who is almost a 1-man army unto himself.
Look, all I have to do is look at queue times to really tell how people feel about this. I still have normal queue times, twinks can’t get games. Case closed.
The communities feature is not bound by faction line, I dont believe. That and there are already multiple forums, discord servers, and dual faction guilds entirely focused on twinking and/or pvp in general.
Its not far fetched to believe the twinking community can work together to make the best of this change
That’s kind of irrelevant, dude. Twinking exists because people talked about it and continue to talk about it. The playstyle exists as a subset of the game’s population due to word of mouth.
Consequently, they’re going to have a significantly higher active participant to inactive observer ratio in any discussion of the subject that comes up.
Based on the number of people who don’t like twinks in their brackets, I’m gonna go out on a limb and suppose that there’s only actually a divide in places where people are actively looking to have a discussion about the subject.
That’s why it’s so one-sided here – because people aren’t looking to discuss it. They’re happy about the change.
Yes, it is. Bnet Groups are not, but WoW Communities are.
Oh, I am not just using the forums but also some in game chats. BUT, that was just an observation and by no means an indication of the complete reality. Trust me, I know what the forums are and are not.
Why? They went out of their way not to fix the problem, which was premades. Devs support premades farming lower geared players. They could have dealt with this years ago but they chose not to.
Ah thats a shame, dont use them myself, good to know. Thanks.
Wrong again. The people generally queuing at levels < max are doing so to get to max level.
The people people queuing at max are doing so to improve their ilvl.
Endgame progression is always gear. Before that, it’s ilvl.
Twinks twist it by stopping the leveling grind to sit at a certain ilvl threshold.
It’s not equatable.
I’d get behind this. I think adding a way to effectively level cap yourself in BG’s was stupid. But effectively limiting the bg queues to xpoff is essentially doing the same thing.
Nah. I think I’ll pass, thanks.
Making the mistake of hopping into a low level BG only to become food for twinks isn’t fun.
How many twinks does it take to change a light bulb? One. But if a second twink shows up he doesn’t want to do it.
Yeah i agree.
You massively overestimate and flatter yourself if you think twinks are or were that important. The people posting against this change are mostly twinks themselves. But my personal opinion is the masses don’t care or are against twinks in regular BSs.
Give rated arena ques that track your rating somewhere on the site, separate from the max ladder back to higher twinks (60+) again please, then everyone can be happy, it’ll promote growth for twinks in those brackets and the lvlers/casuals who pvp won’t have to deal with twinks…
win/win
Eh, the 390 ilvl people i pvp’ed with that were smashing 405s in arenas beg to differ.
Then that’s an incredible flaw in game design then. Pvp was never about getting levels, it was about pvp. You have pve content, quests, dungeons to get to max level.
Twinks only had their niche of pvp.
So twinks are thrown under the bus for the sake of people who want to level in pvp? that’s pretty dumb lol
I know this is a shocking revelation but anyone could make a twink. Now anyone can make a twink but you can’t BG with it.
A seperate Q is effectively a ban.
Why would pvpers want to level in PvE content?
