Twinks ruin leveling. SERIOUSLY

LOL! Just wish twinks would at least be honest on why they twink.

Not all, but quite a few of the exact same people who said they twinked only to fight other twinks and are all “sportsman-like” were some of the same people who avoided other twinks but chased me and spammed angry emotes.

No, there’s 1000s of twinks in large communities. They often wargame, do low level bracket rated BGs, arenas, and do premades. You’re clearly ignorant to this fact. It’s pretty competetive and they have leader boards and websites dedicated to tracking player stats. Blizzard knows this which is why you can turn off XP, and why there’s the “greenhorn” items which are PvP based loot chest rewards.

In terms of knowing who is better it comes down to who wins. If having more gear helps you win, clearly your character is better. It’s not complicated.

So according to your analogy if I play basketball against a 5 year old and win, it has nothing to do with the fact I am older, bigger, or stronger? It just means I am more skilled, okay ty for clarifying.

BTW, can you show me evidence of the thousand among thousands of twinks that coordinate these PvP events on a regular basis.

Not saying it doesn’t happen, but on a regular basis? Yeah not buying that, and why not just do that at max level?

Twinking is one of the last fun things to do in this game though.

So smashing someone over and over is fun?

With all due respect, I wonder why queues never popped for them if there were such large communities.

???
If you’re in the same bracket you have all of the same opportunities and choices as anyone else. Your analogy is terrible. Obviously if you spend more time and resources specializing as a twink you’re going to have the upper hand compared to someone who is just passing through. Why is that a bad thing?

Also, why are you attempting so call anyone unskilled for twinking? For all you know a twinker could be great at the game, but also use every resource to their advantage.

For example:
Your highest arena achievement is 1750 in the 2v2 bracket (easiest bracket). Your highest 3v3 achievement is 1550 (basically a freebee achievement). Your highest RBG is 1700. You’re really going to sit there and insinuate other players are bad for any reason? Really…? Work on yourself first bud.

I do twink at the 19 bracket. It’s fun. I don’t do it all of the time, but I have crafted a pretty kick booty shaman. You’re telling me I’m unskilled because I do this? My worst achievement is in 2s, which I don’t even try to push rating in, and that’s 2k. I’m 2.2k in 3s and I don’t even care about arena. I’ve been 2.4k+ and Hero of the Horde on multiple toons. Please tell me how much I suck.

For your last question, roll a level 19 twink, there’s lots of communities. You will be recruited quickly. You can also google the XPOFF website. I don’t want to get banned for posting the link, but yea, that’s a giant community right there. There’s a certain level of fun in twink PvP, the entire dynamic changes based on what abilities you’re limited to.

More fun than killing the same quest mob for the hundreth time to get 1/1000 of a neck level, yes.

Also there is more to twinking than smashing levelers. That is part of it, of course, naturally it can be fun to be a god. Anyone who claims that single-handedly killing multiple players wouldn’t be fun, at least a little bit, is lying to themselves. But that’s not all there is, grouping up with friends and fighting other twink groups is also very fun. And the process of gearing up a twink is alot more satisfying, and permanent, than the RNG on top of RNG infinite-treadmill dumpster fire that is end game gearing right now.

Yes, deleting other people with an over powered item is pretty fun.

But what’s actually fun is building a character that won’t have it’s progress deleted in the next patch 2 months from then.

They make games for people that like doing that.

Fortnite, CoD, etc.

MMOs are a hamster wheel, always have been. I go into them knowing this.

And your opinion on why you think people twink means very little, and doesn’t even explain why people do it. Also, blizzard’s stance on twinking is they do not care about low level balance. Complain all you want, just don’t expect anything but negative reactions, and zero changes.

To be fair, I get what he’s saying. There are those who’ve tested it, like I have.

Putting XP off players into their own queues would allow everyone to play the way they like. As it stands, the only people that can play the way they like are twinks. The tech exists, it worked this way in the past, they just merged them back again for some reason. I don’t think it will happen because of the state of the game, the company, and the devs, but if WoW were still a game being designed to be the most enjoyable, best game it can be, this would have been addressed already.

First say. I’m OK with twinks. Now that aside you guys going just ruin pvp. It bad folks. Over holidays random BG times on three deferent ever was anywhere from 45 to 80 minute wait. So far last few months it gotten longer and longer. What you doing is running people out of normal random bg. Guess what happen to pvp think? Same thing is happening.

For argument at end level. At end level you eventually can catch up. It just take time and work. There is no justification for it leveling. You there to level out. Twinks are there to rumble stomp players. The end results as like in wraith bG became ghost towns. Just saying beware. Some thinks have been ask for on other things in games. The end results are not end for players well. It easier to take away than give.

Get over it an level to 120 you just being a big baby this whole complaining about twinks while you level is pathetic esp since you can make your own twink at any time an it literally takes less then 24 hours played to level to 120

This is a problem. What is your solution?
If you come back in a few more weeks, you’ll see these forums.
Twink legion was the best.

Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t there a point in legion that one could basically pvp naked. I’m kind of sad I missed out on that.

Whoa hang on, how long has this been true? I just happened by this thread thinking “how can twinks be a problem if-” and this was total news to me. I mean I don’t PVP so it might have happened while I was off between late Cataclysm and the Legion announcement, but… man… what made them think that making twinking “viable” in the main stream again was a good idea?

Because twinking died the second it went to its own queue. Not enough people doing it, and kinda defeats the purpose.

I’m leveling a non-twink right now and have had minimal issues with twinks in BGs… I plan to make my own twink later on now that they’ve changed it back.
