No More Twinks PLEASE!! (bit of a rant)Follow

hello all, I'm a horde player. The character that I'm working on right now is a lvl 29 Orc Warrior. I've been PvPing him a lot lately, just hit rank 4.

Last night, I was doing a bunch of Arathi's cause teh wait time eas only 1 minute.

It was great except I kept getting grouped with the exact same PREMADE!!! And of course they were all twinked out the a-hole. ( I got critted for 750 damage by a warrior)

Now I'm a pretty good PvPer I have a rank 12 Tauren Hunter. However I just can't deal with these twinks.

I know that most alliance players do not twink, but I have noticed that it is ONLY alliance players that twink.

Seriously it needs to stop. Twinks just ruin the game for everyone. No one likes getting owned in Arathi in 15 minutes, and why would you want a fast quick game oposed to a hard challenging game of wits and tactics?

Also here's another reason not to twink:http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=twink

So I just want to get other ALLIANCE player's input on how twinks affect the game. I know that twinks really stop becomign an issue in the 30-39 and especially 40-49 bracket's but down low they are a nuisance.

Also I'm not just copmplaining because I can't beat em, out of the 6 games I played against the premade, we narrowly won 2.

Anyways, thanks.

No, it's not. You just notice it more because they're pwning your face(which is a waste of twinks, imo).

Honestly, I'm willing to bet it was a group on Vent/TS. I've seen a Vent group completely slaughter a group that had 6 twinks in AB. The vent group had good gear and a few enchants, but were by no means twinked.

Fast games are also faster rep. A lot of groups are in it for the rep.

Finally, for me, I live for All Twink games. 10 v 10 or 15 v 15 twink games means both my opponents and teammates put some thought and work into their gear. It also means I'm not on a team with 8 x3's in half greys.

I'm all for lowbie rights to play in BGs and I won't give em crap about it, but they still **** me off.

I have never heard about an alliance pre-made, there probably have been some but not near as much as the horde have. In WSG its usually premades. If i'm just collecting tokens and HK's then its fine cause the battle is over quick but if i actually want to play properly then its kinda stupid.

Simply put..if you don't like twinks then you are playing the wrong game....they won't go away so stop complaining.

People don't cheat or anything when twinking. They use their other characters to fund their other ones so they have better weapons/gear. There's nothing wrong with it so stop complaining because you can't afford better items and get owned by Alliance. By the way, Horde twink all the time. I always get owned by Horde twinks but I'm not complaining! It isn't against the rules or anything.

Twinks...twinks...It's been said over and over again. I'm not going to put my opinion in again other than this:

Both factions twink. I am against it. I have the money to do it. I do not do it.

My views in a nutshell.

Forgot this!

I hate twinks, they spoil a lot of BG fun.

However, they are like nuclear weapons, the genie is out of the ottle, you cannot uninvent them.

Our friends at Blizzad are bringing in a couple of measures to reduce their effect (level restrictions on new enchants and team matching). Until that iccurs either cope or skip BGs for awhile.

Btw, I play mainly alliance and twinks are on both sides.

That's just a silly statement.

When I started making more alts when I had a pair of 60s and needed time off from dungeons, I tried some low level PvP and learned to really hate twinks. Do people twink anything other than rogues, warriors, and more rogues?

My thoughts 100%.

However, I would likely make a twink if there was a way to join a twink-only queue.

I have a Paladin that used to be twinked for 10-19 and I'm currently twinking out for 20-29(as a Healadin, even). My roommates have a twinked druid and a twinked warrior.

I've known several twinked priests and hunters as well. That said, rogues and warriors are the most often twinked classes.

Judging from your nick and post,I want to venture a guess:

You are thirteen, the most leet d00d in your guild, and omgwtfpwnz teh Hord ****?

Just for your information, the new Cross-Realm BGs have evened things out quite a bit. Sure, some battlegroups still experience some imbalance, but not too much. From what I have seen, both sides twink just as mercilessly. Thus, ruining the BGs for us ordinary people, who does not have a need to spam sinister strike and go "lolz! I pwnd that n00b!". Those of us who actually play by skill, really don't need your kind of horrid support. You are a disgrace for your faction.

Horde twinks! (Yes, I play horde myself at the moment, disregard the siggypic, as that character have now been pretty much retired). I have a message for you from your own lowbies. Go die in a fire, or if possible die by eating razor blades. You are just as bad as any Alliance twink, and should have your accounts deleted, and afterwards been completely banned from all MMORPGS completely. This will be my standpoint until the day twinks get their own Battlegrounds. Even though this of course, will reduce the number of twinks into pretty much nothingness, since the whole point is lost. They will no longer get to pwn people by pressing a single key.

Edit: I realize now, this sounds like it was directed to the OP. It wasn't. This was to the poster above me.

I'll just make a brief comment.

There are far more twinks (on both sides, not just one), in WSG 10-19, because its really easy to farm HK there. Can't really farm HK in AB because there's really no way to stop a win, and by AV twinking becomes a relatively minor issue, or at least by then theyve (probably) earned it.

My question is, are they going to do away with those enchants already given when BC comes out? I could see a great many people getting pissed off if they did (and i would probably laugh)

I hazard to guess you are referring to the upcoming enchant caps?

If so, the answer is no. Blizzard reps have stated numerous times that the enchant caps are only for the BC enchants, and will not impact existing enchants. People with fiery/crusader/icy/etc will retains those enchants, and players will be able to continue to get and use them regardless of level, even after the expansion is released.


As for the OP:
Your feelings about this do not match those at Blizzard. They are implementing gear matching, but that is as far as it will go. Blizzard sees no problem with max-gearing all levels of characters and feel it is a valid part of the whole picture. You might not like it, but that won't change anything.

Something sounds wrong, yet funny, about that statement.

Exactly, in Andorhal realm, horde twinks always win Wsg (lvl 10-19) so basically horde twinked more then Alliances, cause u will always see hordes beating the alliances, no matter what except the times when the twinks are sleeping irl, and theres only newbs playing thats when we win.

i have a lvl 19 human rogue with full defias armour and two assassins blades one with crusader and one with +agi
all my armour is done up with end-game enchants
its boring and pointless and the only reson i did it is because blizz cross realmed the BG's and it annoys me

A twink is a pathetic and childish person who cannot win in pvp under normal circumstances so creates a character (funded by their guild or a high level alt) and kits them out in the absolute best of everything, armour, weapons, enchants and twinkets (sorry couldn't help it) things they would not usually be able to have at their level. This makes them nearly impossible to kill if you are an equal level character unless you are also a twink or HUGELY more skilled.

They are the kind of petty people who need to slaughter people who can't effectively fight back in order to feel good about themselves... I hate them no matter what side they are on (I play characters on both sides). However as far as OP goes, like poldaran said I suspect the larger factor was that the team you were up against was organised, had a good plan of attack and were probably on vent. Skill/teamwork > Twinkage almost every time.

Ok that does suck then, what's the point honestly? The fun comes with the challenge, if you eliminate the challenge then what's the point?

People down with twinks! I did my 1st battleground last night and it was fun! But I would of been pissed if I had a twink ruin my 1st time for me. Hell there might of been one and I wouldn't known any better. I thought you couldn't equip gear if you weren't a certain level to use it?

I would think that would make sense, why hasn't blizzard implemented this?
#22 Nov 22 2006 at 12:24 PM Rating: Decent
Twinks are fun. They let me test my skills. Even with mediocre gear, I usually lose to twink Rogue. But it shows what mistakes I did. And its just awesome, when you can beat twink Rogues with not-all green gear or whatever.

Just IMO.

You're funny, and know a lot of stuff!

I'm so sick of the way Horde players like to come in here and claim that Alliance is the only one who ganks/twinks etc. Seriously, get over it. I see Horde twinks all the time, you just don't notice it because you consider them to be "People with good gear", while people with good gear on Alliance are "twinks" in your mind.

What is wrong with optimizing your character, in pve you get the best available gear to make grinding easier, is it not perfectly ok to do the same in pvp?

Nothing sad about opt'ing you char, only sad thing is the bunch of ppl who come here to dictate how their oponents can and can not play after getting wiped ;)

Hey let's say you're in WSG, and you have decent gear at lvl 19. A rogue comes and two shots you (exagerrated a bit)because of his crusader and fiery weapon enchants (no exaggeration on the enchants). This is why so many people don't like twinks. Because they have access to incredible advantages just to win a battleground or farm some extra honor.
