This is only in the 111-129 bracket that they have corruption and gear effects.
Party syncing is significantly worse at almost all low lvls.
The one silly thing about it is Dh can sync down to 19 and out run an entire team.
They tried that if I recall correctly. Screwed up the queue times for all concerned I believe.
Certain brackets will always have twinks. You can gear up more and inly join the BG at the tail end of the bracket to mitigate their effectiveness.
There are still some twinks queuing into normal battlegrounds, usually from 60+ once they can get gem slot gear, they level out of the bracket reasonably quickly and aren’t as potent unless they stop xp and farm a full set at every bracket but they’re definitely still strong, I’ve seen a destro lock in the 100 bracket wearing 70 gear still 1 shotting people.
At the very least it’s a hassle for them to do it this way and makes seeing them fairly infrequent which is nice.
I think you might have replied to the wrong person.
Actually they did! Despite the claim of you and the original poster Twinks are relegated to their own BGs able to only play against other XP off Twinks.
The tears that fell after that happened filled the forums for weeks.
this why cant take people seriously they think twinks are in bgs still when odds are they probably got destroyed by 1 of the few broken specs like arcane mages mm hunters resto druids {lower lvl}
Yeah I see that now. I blame being tired. Sorry about that.

Yup. Twinking became…FUN. So Blizzard had to step in and put a stop to it.
I think it had more to do with the countless crying threads and players whining about twinks rather than Blizzard nerfing fun. I used to love twinking.
I actually saved getting my Bloodthirsty title back in the day on my main twink. I left an amazing battleground early because I got worried that I would get it, so I logged over and got it on the character I wanted to get it on.
You mean Blizzard gave Twinks just what they always claimed they wanted. Over and over Twinks claimed they were a majority of PvPers and that they weren’t in it for ganking but to fight other twinks so that was what they were given.
Funny thing though as soon as Twinks could only fight other Twinks and it was shown they were a minority of BGers they all started quitting!

Yup, fun for the person running around destroying everyone. Not so fun for the punching bags.
I never heard twinks say they were the majority. Got a source for that?
I used to have a Lv 19 Rogue twink and Lv 29 Hunter twink in BC. Used to be tons of fun. Not sure why that became a problem and they changed the que. Sure it’s annoying if your not a twink and get wrecked but go quest if you have an issue with it.
They never claimed they were the majority. Of course they aren’t, most people aren’t willing to put in as much work as they do.

Don’t forget how much your own team hated you for even queueing it at level 10.

Nice try! Since you know the old forums are gone but of course that is tactic someone like you who is pro-Ganker Twink would try.
Because it was only fun to Ganker Twinks who only did it because it allowed them to out-gear anyone else and win because of gear instead of skill.
I’m not pro-ganker twink. I just said it was fun. I don’t think ganking is fun. BGs don’t have ganking - everyone there is around the same level and is there for PVP.
I’ve been around the forums a long time. And I was here when twinking came back last year and when Blizz separated exp-off from exp-on queues. I don’t remember anyone claim that most of the PVPers were twinks. That would be laughable.
I certainly don’t remember a majority of PVPers claim that. Maybe ONE or TWO did, but you can find ONE or TWO people who will claim anything ridiculous.
btw, the old forums (started one year ago) appear to have been copies to the new forums.
Soooo “nice try” yourself.
Y’know there’s an entire website for twinks right? Also Google exists.

How can a player in a BG that has level brackets be a ganker?
