Shhhh, don’t tell him about the conspiracy
Not at all! Looking at your armoury, it’s very clear you have nothing to lose by having the queues separated again. Certainly not missing out on easy levelling prey or anything of that sort.

Interesting assumption. That does not justify linking my Armory.
Examine the fossil of war if you must.
In all fairness, I’m not “anti.” I do not believe that they should be “gotten rid of.” I have the utmost genuine compassion for them, considering the true reason the playstyle exists. It’s almost heartbreaking, in a sense. However, I do firmly believe in separation so that everyone gets exactly what they want without any compromises.

I agree! I fully endorse twinking and think they should be able to exist. Min-maxing in an art. They just shouldn’t be in BG queues with everyone else that’s not experience capped, just like before. That’s all I’m saying.

I wouldn’t consider myself anti-twink either. If the queues were separated, I’d probably have one.
Can’t justify stomping people who can’t fight back though.

My point exactly.

Serious question, if you roll into a BG and go 10-0 - do you assume you outgear everyone and just stop playing because you feel bad for ‘stomping’ them? I have had games while leveling this toon that I’ve just obliterated everyone I ran into, so I sat D for most of the game.
And you link my armory to single me out.
I do, yes.
Though most of the time I end up on D anyway, because people seem to have a fondness for leaving bases completely undefended.
I should add the exception of this is Kotmogu. I hate that BG with a passion and will ignore morals to make it end faster.
The things forum posters claim to do and not do are exceptional. I’d give you medals for being cool, non-jerks and playing the game for genuine sport. But don’t tell me you believe that’s the reality of the situation.

I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum. Players that play to face other twinks/people that play well and players that play to GY camp. Anytime I see a team GY camping ( usually in a CTF map ) I make an effort to run caps to end the game as fast as I can. Usually their justification is something along the lines of “just some payback for me getting GY camped earlier” or something like that. Do I justify or participate? Negative. Do I understand the frustration and retaliation? Of course. You expect people to take you for your word on here - about your experiences and whatnot - you need to take everyone else for their word too. It has to go both ways.
Edit: This isn’t some 'I’m high and mighty, above w/e" bullshat post. This is just me throwing out what I do and what I’ve seen over the years.

Except I’ll take the liberty and say my case is far the likelier and is experienced firsthand by anyone trying to do BGs to supplement their levelling.
Have these sorts of things always happened? Of course. But at least before, you had the illusion or chance you could do something about it. Post these changes, you lie back and accept it. The margin between a leveller’s gear and a twink’s gear is FAR beyond that which player skill and experience can accommodate. I mentioned earlier of being two-shot by a Balance Druid twink. What sort of neat Arms Warrior tricks could I pull to circumnavigate dying to two instant-cast spells?
Thanks for clarifying this. Please don’t ever read hostility in what I say either. You’ll have to forgive me if I’m overly passionate about this, but levelling and coupling in BGs alongside it truly has been one of my most favourite things to do for so many years that it’s genuinely depressing to have to decide to stop levelling and twink myself to take advantage of levellers or be a noodle and miss out on a hobby because some people - for some bloody reason - can’t let go of the fact that, YES, twinks being in the same queues as levellers ARE grotesquely overpowered.

How can you even compare these facts?
I didn’t even armory you to notice you’re playing Arms. I level’d to 70 as Fury and I don’t think I’ve tried to play Arms at all. Leveling this toon is the most fun I’ve had in a really long time, Fury is super smooth and enjoyable IMO.
Gah, but I’ve always played Arms. Just feels so much better to me.
Isn’t it a remarkable coincidence that after Ion’s announcement that a few 110-111 twinks selling powerleveling runs broke the game and 110 twinks were going to be force leveled by eliminating xp off 110+, and he got hundreds of posts outraged by this and had to back off…
That suddenly and coincidentally out of nowhere lots of “players” are starting threads claiming that twinking has suddenly broken the game and needs to be removed so that alts of elite players can get fast easy leveling?
It’s almost as though it’s not a coincidence…
Who has said they want twinking removed?
I have only seen people saying to reintroduce separate brackets.

Seriously, I have no idea where that came from. We just want the old queue system back, it’s not a bloody conspiracy.
