Interesting, can you show an example?

He’s still around!? Good to hear! :wink:

All of these comments have made me visualize this old gem, are we close?

2:20 In. :smiley:

I’ve beaten him dozens of times. I don’t play my 69 anymore though, so you guys are out of luck. Sorry, but now that I’m separated, I cant come save your battlegrounds against him.

Lol… I am out of the bracket . Reported him multiple times . Blizz can do what they please now . Can’t believe this is what they want because they separated the queues .

Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s what they want. They’re just not very quick to remedy things in the past couple years. They admitted on Twitter that they separated because templates were gone but it took them how long after the removal to do so? They just don’t have the staff to put out fires anymore. Another side effect of speeding out content with less resources and less skilled designers.

I think we can all assume it isn’t, but its been what, a month or two of this going on. I don’t see a fix coming anytime soon. I wish I could have helped you in that BG though :stuck_out_tongue:

It really makes us wonder how well the actual separation was thought out.
Being so quietly/abruptly done and all.

Maybe something is in the works which allows all players to engage in PVP without issues on any Avatar they choose. :thinking:

Ya that would have been nice !!

I have come across twinks in every bracket . What stood out about this guy was not only his gear but he is extremely skilled from what I saw in the BG. I couldn’t believe the damage nos he put out at the end of the BG.

Theres actually a 60 twink fury that outdamages most of the 69 furys I’ve met. He has the 2h Sword that dropped from Lower Blackrock Spire x2, and it heals him for such a rediculous amount. I’ve seen him solo entire teams until I showed up and put the beatdown.

I’ve beaten him quite a few times, but the only reason I have any losses at all are basically due to that guy.

Can that be right? I keep hearing that people only twink because they don’t have any skills. lol I’ve come across a few that could mop the floor with most players, with or without gear, but I guess it makes anti-twinks feel better to keep saying that stuff.

To look at this objectively, it’s true but it’s not completely true. The playstyle has a certain allure due to the easy mode pay-to-win model. It highly attracts those who struggle to play any video game on anything but easy because they can gain “success” without effort. And there are far more bad players than good players.

To say that there are no people who engage in the playstyle who have skill is absurd. However, there are those who only like to acknowledge these types of comments (in and out of context) for misdirection purposes.

I have played enough BG’s to know when someone is cheesing it or using some serious skill which gets exponentially magnified due to the gear being used .

Yawn.

I don’t think too many people struggle to play WoW. Maybe those who only play forums, but actual players, not so much.

If it’s so easy mode pay2win then I guess anyone can do it.

I just found it funny. Not quite sure why you infer misdirection. In what way and to what end?

From the looks of comments on the GD, I would say quite a few struggle in one way or another.

Anyone “can” do something but that doesn’t mean anyone “can actually” do something. This falls back on the availability vs feasibility argument that escapes people when they feel anyone “can.”

I’m glad you found amusement. It brightens up the day. I infer misdirection because people seem to enjoy bringing things up to take focus away from the conversation at hand. Certain subjects seem more prone than others.

In a nut shell.

Skill is less necessary to succeed as a twink. That doesn’t mean that all or even most twinks are bad but they can be and still manage to do well.

Before you say it, yes, the same can be said of particularly over tuned specs in certain problem brackets as well.

It’s also a random bg we are talking about so skill isn’t even necessary at all.
