Twinks = no new battleground growth. Ever

Anti twinks are only vocal on the forums, and trying to force everyone to play their way.

If they had it their way, everyone would only need white type gear. No need to keep gear up, just queue in whatever.

I’ve actually been seeing some advocates for the return of templates. It’s sickening.

Sooooo basically you and your friends they are salty that they lost. It’s the twinks fault. Hate to break it to you there isn’t a match making system at max level either in random bg’s. This just doesn’t sound like the game for them, they want instant gratification in a game that doesn’t always give that. Even though as of late it has tried it’s best.

This is rich coming from someone who has never killed a single boss in Uldir on any difficulty and has never set foot in a rated bg or arena, or if so haven’t gotten enough wins or rating to get a single rated pvp achievement.

By all metrics I have “competed” and succeeded in more end game content then you have. And I also play a couple twinks.

There are more reasons to twink than not being able to cut it at end game. Of course not all twinks are bad at end game, some are but there are hundreds of twinks across the different brackets, there isn’t any one thing that all twinks are, they are varied like any large group. When you make sweeping generalizations like that you pretty much abandoned any pretense of a rational argument based on what’s good for the game. It’s pretty clear you are just salty you got rekt and want to vent your frustrations. Which you know, that’s fine, it’s OK to vent when your upset, probably healthy even, but don’t sit here and try to sell your angst as some “big-picture, what’s best for everyone” argument.

Literally one win would be all it took to get an achievement. One win that could just be queuing into an empty arena. One. Win.

Damn twinks won’t even let the guy and his son get an arena win.

If I could perhaps persuade you to join our 119 Alliance Community and your son and your/his friends, and give it a chance. I personally find it more rewarding and fun than anything I’ve accomplished in the end game. We have over 200 players that have joined over the last two months that this community has existed.

We run 119 pre-mades pretty much all day. Maybe take a moment turn your xp off, try and get some TW gear in the upcoming Cata Timewalking event. You guys might actually have some fun.

Just say anybody have a spot in a bg group I can join, or during TW’ing anybody running TW need someone. For me, it’s best fun I’ve had in the game in a long time.

Couldn’t agree more. There are some really good players who twink simply for the derpy pvp play. People have this weird assumption that twinks can’t cut it in end game so they end up twinking. That might be true for a few people, but many of them are doing solid in rateds/raids.

One good reason people twink is because they make so much in game gold that they run out of ideas on how to spend it. Also the BGs you get with twinks vs. twinks is ridiculous, and you end up with 7+ deaths for everyone. It is the derpiest thing on earth playing my lower lvls and watching twinks duke it out, but then the GYfarms are absolutely hysterical when the seams bust on a team. Saw my whole team cept 4 of us sitting each tower in EOTS rush the back end graveyard and I was cracking up the whole time on my hordie alt.

Do you accept players who are just leveling through but don’t want derpy teammates?

My 118 Resto sham is struggling with idiotic, don’t guard bases in eots, teams and I prefer to heal people who play well rather than the eight players who rush top in dwg to all stand around the flag while mid gets zerged…

As you can tell it’s been an annoying experience in the bgs lately.

If you are leveling through feel free to stop on by. You can always ask if a spot is available, or you can create your own bg group and invite others along the way. My experience is that the nights are busiest time, but people are seemingly online all the time. Healers are always welcome.

On one hand twinking has made me play a lot more. I never would have ran so many timewalking dungeons or did the anniversary bosses if it wasn’t for twinking. On the other hand it’s pretty toxic when I go into a BG or skirm and just demolish everyone. There’s zero skill involved lol.

I guess an argument could be made if it’s twink vs twink but I never see a balanced twink vs twink game. If there’s a lot of twinks it’s usually because one side is running a premade of twinks and it’s just a slaughterfest where normal players die in seconds upon spawning. And if twink vs twink was actually desired then they should just put them in a separate bracket again.

I’m contemplating just leveling to 120 just because of how boring it is to destroy everyone so easily. It has to drive them crazy as well. Honestly twinking doesn’t seem good in the long term for anyone. Just my opinion though.

GY camps happen at 120 as well. It’s not just a twink thing.

If you looked into your sons eyes after he got destroyed in that bg. Put your hand on his shoulder and said “Son, if you follow me in this game I will make you stronger than that! You will run around and annihilate them all and laugh with glee. Father and son twinks to wreck them all!” I think we’d have a new recruit. Instead you just enabled a quitter and showed him how his daddy gets whipped all the time. Better luck next time bro.

When I got wrecked by a twink back in classic I just made me want to make a twink.

In a MMORPG you have to put in the work to feel powerful, FPS games are better for those who just want to jump right in.

All I can really say is that, its a mmo…. try a fps.

More importantly, why would you let your ten year old play this game?

Every BG since the first BG was ever played in WoW has had “Twinks” in them.
“Twinking” or “Gearing up” is the core essence of this game.

BFA has finally set a controlled standard (cap) on all possible stats within ALL Instanced PVP brackets.
This system allows a controlled template of permitted accessible stats.
Every player has easy access to the same options and they come tailor made.
Entry level gearing options x0 are close enough in stats compared to x9 of given bracket to definitely be a viable force within instanced PVP.
Attention has been made to the lower brackets in regards to tuning, and we are sure to see more in the future.
