Something needs to be done about the Twinks in the lower pvp battlegrounds they need to just have their own battlegrounds with anyone who pauses leveling. They make it not worth pvping for those of us who enjoy it but still want to level they can easily fix this (do something DEVS) although we know you wont it took you so long to add a good Group finder and we will see if you will screw that up as well!! Please prove me wrong we all know that you cater to those who complain and not what the majority want so here I am complaining for you to actually make your game better.

Pretty sure this is a Cataclysm thing.

Who knew this would be required?
Oh, right, the original devs cause this was how it was back when XP locks were first added.
Go figure.
No, this was implemented with xp-locks, it was removed for classic specifically.

“Twinks must be fixed.”
If the goal is to limit their number then spaying/neutering could work.

It was in 3.2 when players with XP disabled were forced into their own brackets.

Oh okay, so maybe it is time for this. 
low level twinking is fun in pvp bgs, if there wasnt any twinks… the low level bgs would never spawn…
that being said, I got my butt stomped sideways many times and got lucky to be on the winning side a few times. I will agree if you are a non-twink joining a bg, you will just be better off dancing in the graveyards, No matter your skill level you can’t complete vs these fully decked out twinks.

When RDF comes out you’ll just do dungeons anyway. So no, its fine the way it is.

This is just blatantly false though. The non-twinks are what keeps low level BGs alive after the enabling xp, not the other way around.
We know this cause the xp-locked bracket died in the original while the xp-unlocked bracket ran all the way from 10 to 80.

RDF will level the playing field by allowing anyone to get groups to farm gear. It’ll no longer be necessary to bribe high levels to carry you or multibox cheat. That is how twinks get their gear because there are no normal groups.
That said, the only other change Blizzard needs to do is better enchant restrictions. Classic had practically no restrictions on enchanting items. You can literally use level 60 enchants on level 19 equipment. But even if these are cut off, players in the best gear will still have a sizable advantage over anyone that doesn’t. Bottom line is you need to take the time to farm if you want to be competitive, or move on.
The original game didn’t let you turn off XP.
Uh, no, it didn’t.

They worked hard to get the best gear/enchants available.
And your reaction is to punish them for their hard work?
Shame on you.

It’s not a punishment. Surely players who enjoy PVP enough to dedicate all those resources into a single character would appreciate it more if BGs only had twinks like them so it was a battle of skill. What self-respecting PVPer would want non-twinks on their team or stomp the ones on the other team?

It’s hysterical (or sad) how much better the old devs were compared to the Classic team…where every decision they make is wrong.

Every decision they made towards raiding has been good, in my opinion.
I don’t really have alts or PVP, so I don’t have an opinion on the other changes.

My guy, they were “punished” in this way for the entirety of the original game.
Guess what happened?
Twinks stopped playing cause it turns out they’re not there for a fair fight.

Of course it is.
They worked hard and got the best gear SPECIFICALLY so they could stomp the enemy in pvp. Don’t pretend otherwise.

Yeah, and that’s why twinks kill off their own fun.

How many threads do we need about this? Twinking is fine for the most part 99.9%
Two things I think they should fix. The exploits (jumps, safespotting) in Warsong, and the ability to use the 200 Ilvl epic fishing pole as a weapon in low levels (should have a level requirement), which is extremely overpowered.

True Live has this so Classic would benefit.
This is kind of disingenuous to say.
While I won’t discount those who did put in the time the vast majority of twinks are getting run through dungeons by max levels, using mains to buy the enchants they need, I think theres still the ability to enchant white items and just mail them around (idk if that was fixed by now or not).
It’s really not work to twink out a character.
