Why all the hate for twinks?

I’m not Greyhide >.>

Greyhide is a guy (I gather from him mentioning his wife).
I am a woman.
We do not know each other, nor is he on my friend’s list, although at this point I am tempted to make a character on his server and send him my battletag.

Please prove that we are in fact, the same person.

Laughing at all these twink players throwing temper tantrums and acting as if going solely off my hunter’s stats is enough to invalidate my point. You need to be put back into your own queues and sent on your way. People who don’t twink don’t want to deal with you ruining battlegrounds.

The entire point of twinking is to gain an unfair advantage, otherwise you’d be in full heirlooms and lower level greens with everyone else.

If you wanted an even number of twinks, then you should want twink-only queues. That’s the only way to ensure it. But I’ve seen twinks leave because there are twinks on the other team.

BOA items while keeping other slots filled through the various options (Dungeons, Quests, Crafting, Vendors,PVP) are completely viable.
Staying active while leveling will give any adventurer enough access to the items needed in order to stay viable within instanced PVP.

Greens are fine for lower levels, always be sure to compare stats.
Stay active and enjoy!

Grombo,

What about taking and holding bases or escorting flag/ball carriers instead? Being able to more successfully accomplish BG objectives is one of the main reasons I twink. I hate it when people farm me so I make a point to not do it to them. Instead, I go for objectives to help get the team as fast a win as possible. That may be to your liking.

it would be like complainng at max level because someone has way better gear than you. people could compete with twinks if they geared up its not hard

anon26445175 · February 17, 2019, 2:40am

I couldn’t care less that you exist. I just want you back in your own queues.

Idun-wyrmrest-accord · February 17, 2019, 3:01am

And twinks know this. Which is why there’s no good answer to “What’s the advantage for non-twinks to queue with twinks?”

Jugajr-emerald-dream · February 17, 2019, 3:17am

Having everyone in one player pool is good for queue times.

Greyhide-khadgar · February 17, 2019, 2:07pm

Correct. There was another thread that asked something like that and days went by without a good answer. Some people tried the “queue times” argument but that got destroyed pretty quick.

Jugajr-emerald-dream · February 17, 2019, 3:04pm

Queue times are a very good reason.

Idun-wyrmrest-accord · February 17, 2019, 3:46pm

Queue times were fine for XPon players when twinks had their own queues. Queue times were fine for XPon players when the queues were even broken down into (x)0-(x)4 and (x)5-(x)9.

There’s no benefit period to XPon players for having XPoff players in with them

Jadei-shadowsong · February 17, 2019, 3:51pm

Define fine.

Since you apparently know the health of queue times across all brackets for several expansions, maybe you can explain what other reasons Blizzard had for combining xp off and on?

Idun-wyrmrest-accord · February 17, 2019, 4:02pm

Two to six minutes.

Stupidity.

Mauden-korgath · February 17, 2019, 4:05pm

Templates. Templates are why they combined the queues.

I can’t tell you why they’re still together, but I assume it’s because Blizzard is attempting to balance instead of separate.

I’ve yet to see something that makes me confident that balance will work, outside of killing twinks entirely, so I’d prefer separation.

Jadei-shadowsong · February 17, 2019, 4:08pm

That’s possible but low participation is also very likely to be a reason as well considering they’re still combined.

Jugajr-emerald-dream · February 17, 2019, 4:11pm

That’s nice but there are two types of players Blizzard has and cares about.

Wilkshire-shattered-hand · February 17, 2019, 4:23pm

Multiple adjustments which clearly aim in this direction have solidified this.
BFA has had more adjustments and fine tuning to the lower brackets than any other Expansion prior.
8.1.5 has not even dropped yet, and it will surely be another major step in this direction.

Greyhide-khadgar · February 17, 2019, 5:01pm

I can’t believe anyone is seriously trying to say that queue times are a good reason, especially after that “reason” being completely and utterly obliterated I would say “it’s not even Sunday” but…"

Some people are obstinate just to be obstinate.

Jugajr-emerald-dream · February 17, 2019, 5:03pm

Yep. Also removing twinks will not stop GY camps:
