Twinks still a HUGE problem

PVP Battlegrounds

All reports I’ve seen have said that the situation is better. Not that it’s okay to exploit the queue, but saying one guy doing it is a “HUGE” problem seems a bit of a hyperbole. Report him and move on.

If this had happened one time, I can assure you, I wouldn’t have bothered posting a complaint. But it happens regularly. I’ve been leveling various toons for the heritage armor — including this one — and turn to BGs for a respite from questing/dungeons. Waiting 10 minutes for a queue just to get GY camped or one-shotted 10 times by a cheater is, to the least, incredibly frustrating.

Yes, the situation is better. But it’s a known exploit. Disable the xpoff macro these people are using by changing the way XP gets turned off and make the consequence for cheating prohibitive.

Since you’re playing a resto shaman, I would advise grabbing a few items from your auction house if you want to do BGs.

Save them for a twink game and you will absolutely destroy them.

Thats about 120 bonus intellect. I’m only mentioning it since you’re obviously enchanted up, but if you grab those two fairly cheap items, you will never have a problem with a twink until the 110 bracket.

I know this isn’t important to the discussion at hand, but it’ll help you get through those rough games.
While I was leveling up my 69 twink shaman, I faced a 5 man team of 60 twinks and killed them all when I was like…63. Resto shamans be whack yo.

In addition, instead of +versatility gems in the gear you get randomly, go to the PVP vendor area in Orgrimmar. There is a vendor there (the Accessory Vendor) that sells +5 intellect +5 crit gems, which are at least 3 times better than the gems you have and only cost a single mark of honor.

Fair enough. Many people would, though, in my defense. :smiley:

Im more confused on why people keep saying that. Sure theres a minority of twinks that would rather queue as a group of twinks to fight others, very few. I personally (on my twink) only like to solo queue and carry my team, crushing anyone and everyone. Twink or not. Easy games are a boring which is why I solo queue. Only thing im against are people that queue as a 5 man twink premade in random bgs. Its not even fun, for either side.

“Hey guys people are exploiting to get their characters into xp on bgs”

“WHY DIDNT YOU ENCHANT YOUR NECKLACE IM LOOKING THRU YOUR ARMORY YOU DONT EVEN HAVE YOUR HEIRLOOMS UPGRADED TRY USING THE AUCTION HOUSE LOL”

Ill also like to say twink vs twink wargames are also very boring (atleast to me). I feels like im doing rated bgs all over again. Target calling, comp stacking. If i wanted to tryhard, id play my main.

Idk man I kinda feel like twinks rely on levelers to get queue pops. It was kind of a one-sided relationship.

Levelers are trying to get permanent punishments and restrictions for their temporary problem (the twinks). Level up to max and you don’t deal with twinks any longer…you deal with the plethora of max level problems! That’s how I meant Levelers are a huge problem for twinks.

Most of the levelers from these threads don’t want to play max level from what I have seen

If they are just perpetually leveling, then they are just as big of a problem for twinks as twinks were for them. THEY were perpetually the under-geared, under-performing dead weight of the group.

Fixed that. No one’s up in arms about twinks who are playing according to developer design (xp-off, level-delete-level again, etc.).

Permanent repercussions might be a bit much but at the very least, the exploit should be blocked in a timely way.

Are we grabbing pitch forks and torches for alleged exploit use? I must have missed where OP confirmed that for sure.

Since I’m the only one who suggested a few items on the auction house, can you outline for me where I was excusing that behavior of

Do Saltwaters and such work at low level?
