Twinks still in 110 regular BGs - I'm confused

I was just in a 110 BG, and there was a Horde hunter with ilvl 254. He/she had 38 KBs in that BG!! The second highest was 9 KBs. Is this a situation someone simply not hitting 111 yet, or have some players figured out how to circumvent the XP off system?

My understanding is XP = Off means no twinks in regular BGs as of 8.1.5. Am I missing something?

It appears you need to git gud.

This happens in PVE too.
Looks like the dedicated players are doing well, maybe it is secondary stat choices?

Seriously? You just couldn’t resist. My post was asking for clarification. It was not a complaint.

If it was for clarification you could read the twitter and get your answer. You’re only proving that the problem is between your chair and screen.

If they don’t have BFA, I think they’re in the queues with everyone else.

Weird loophole tbh.

I’m not having any issues in BGs. I just thought it was odd that someone had that many KBs compared to everyone else.

Well the fact that u said Hunter says it they are overtuned

Someone else in that BG chat commented that the hunter could have solo’d our entire team. lol

Sounds like they’re just someone with Legion xpac still thats decked out in Antorus gear.

He was wearing “Heart of Azeroth” plus a couple other 300 items. He probably just unlocked XP.

There is another thread these same people are replying to with the answers on how this dude is exploiting the que system.

That just means that you also have BFA, hence the merged Expansion account.
The BFA gearing system will offer you much better choices, including three slots of AZ gear.
Dungeons, Quests are highly recommended.

Sounds about right. Thanks.

Cool story. I had 138 kills in an AV once in the 80-84 twink bracket back in MoP with this toon. Loved getting those expensive blue MoP rare drops that were equippable at 81-84 ilevel (I’m still wearing them right now). Those BoEs cost a fortune but were worth it. I was one shotting groups with Chain Lightning. Then Blizz did their item squish and killed the bracket :frowning:

Two ways to twink in XP on BGs that do not use any exploits:

  1. Be 110, don’t buy BFA–get good gear. You’re XP on with levelers
  2. Be 20, don’t activate your subscription–get good gear. You’re XP on with the levelers.

Other than that, people are either slow-rolling XP or just levelers that care to gear up. A few are using the exploit, but not many and that will get fixed.

They ended xp off for 110 months ago. That guy probably just doesn’t have BFA yet.

Incorrect. The “hotfix” was never implemented and Blizzard reversed their decision about that situation within hours.

For reference

e: At least they got a warning about it though. Separation received no such treatment.

Oh wow. You don’t see that very often.
