And your point being?
Afaik nothing stops you from doing the same?
You might not like it, you might disagree with that type of playing, but different people, different playstyles, none is better than the other :)

No More Twinks PLEASE!! (bit of a rant)Follow
Quote:
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.
Sorry, the "exagerated" is so exagerated that it doesnt make any sense. I two shot level 10s, but people going into a BG nine levels under the competition should seriously expect to have their asses handed to them. I see level 19s with good gear will still rip up the BGs with zero enchants.
If you cant afford dual 15 agi's or 100hp librams, thats fine, but nothing stops you from running VC 15 times and Wc 10 times like I did. The gear alone is enough.
this is my honest opinion
on my priest (60, level of no twinks) WSG is fun, cause i dont get 2- shotted, and immature people who suck at the BG stay out
on my hunter ( 2X)
i dont WSG anymore because the twinks just plain **** me off...
if you cant beat someone with even odds, dont goto WSG, like i did.
dont go spend 500-800 gold on a level 19 character just so u can feel powerful, or that your a man, (i know no women twinks, shows they are smart ^^;)
most people with skill can take on people at thier level or a little higher with ease. they dont need to spend giant amounts of gold to turn on god more for a few kills
if u honestly wanna spend that much on a 19 character, because you suck at playing a level 60, go ahead, i wait till 60 to pvp anyway
p.s. BoP gear is okay, libram enchants arent

exactly..
Stop complaining if you really are then put in the effort to get the money or spend your time doing it.
I know if i had the time i would twink my priest but i don't so i just stay out of bg's and shield myself at the first sight of trouble.

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?

Yeah, what is teh problem with people being twinks? I guess youre making a huge issue out of it because you get beat alot in pvp. Well damn if pvp and your hate againt twinks is so damn important to you: do something about it, and get stronger to beat all those twinks. Even if that means becoming a twink yourself. And by the looks of it, you were already planning to do that. You are a wining, hypocrite from were I stand. I have spoken.

OMG and whats up with that dictionary link you posted. Thats just pathetic to use that as a argument.

Lol that did make me laugh though
'Eh... there's no point in trying to stop them... think of it this way. If you're going off to 'war' aren't you going to be given ALOT of things to make sure that your side doesn't loose? I mean, when you join the army, you don't own a full suit of BDU's, an M16 and a Rocket Launcher equipped Humvee, or M1A1 Tank... that's given to you buy your support crew. I feel that the same concept must be used here... in addition, it's taking a LONG time to get those resources and $$$ together.. Plus, you've limited your character at that point, if you go above level x9 then your twink is not nearly as powerful.
I'm also pretty convinced that MOST of the stuff you trade down could be bought at the AH if you know where to gold farm. Hell, I can make a pretty decent amount of gold in one day with my lvl 16 Paladin. I went into WSG with nothing but a bunch of green items and some potions. The only thing that was sent to me was 1 gold. I had 3 gold as it was, and had just under 2 gold when I left the AH. I'm not gonna spend 10g on a +4 sta/str/attack blue item when I can buy a +4 sta/str green item and a potion for less than 50s.
If you have a lvl 12 Taruen in the WSG BG... well... that's pretty low... It also depends what you're up against. I know I was pissing off horde with my Pally... I also know I was fighting at least 2 twinks... one Undead Rouge in particular. It took him about 6 swings to kill my Pally. However, his strategy was to simply run at me and assume his twinks would save him... and then my backup would snipe him from behind while i healed myself... strategy > twinks.
We won 3-0.

Been reading the thread, and wanna add my 2 cents:
Twinks have pissed me off too.
I then completely re-done my rogue, at lvl 42.. exchanged str for agi, bought some blue's, like Widowmaker, he is an enchanter at full skill so I can do some high lvl enchants at low cost (but not stuff like Crusader), made my hunter Elemental LW so he could make Helm of Fire for the rogue.. etc. My main is/was a pala, some funding from him.. also I have a mage with alchemy to help out. At 49 my rogue would seem like a "semi"-twink, but it was only a matter of getting good equip and the right stats for him as far as possible. He owned. Except when the premades with extreme-twinks entered BG.. then the hundreds-of-gold twinkies spoke and killed him and my allies very fast, us loosing bg after bg.. even when we had a puggly premade team we lost.. gave them a good fight but still. Sucks herring through a windshield. At lvl 46 I could'nt kill a lvl 41 rogue for some reason, well, my eviscerate just refused to release even though I frantically pressed the button (wtf?)..
Seems like there are some kind of bugging or something going on especially in wsg. Seemingly horde doesnt have the same "Line-of-sight" issues etc.
Anyway, I had several other char's to help out in equipping my rogue, not to the extreme but good. That is ME. No cHeaTz0r or chinese gold or anything. BUT, like, not everybody have this opportunity! And that is when things become very unfair. Like some idiot born into a rich family can't understand why the people living in ghetto's are so poor, "why don't they just get a house with a swimming pool and a mercedes too and stop whining"? Helloooo? Anybody home?
Most people are just trying to get by, to play the game, are new or relatively new to the cyber-world of Azeroth, they are not to be expected to be knowing every aspect of it or have hundreds of gold, bought gold or not... so, in the name of fairness and sportsmanship, stop the twink idiocy... good gear is one thing, but making a lvl 19/29/39/49 char extreme for no other purpose at all is just crap. Just being an a**hole toward others. Why? Ok, u are in need of a hobby, u get bored with ur main, but it's just lame to ruin the game for others like that.
I also have played a Tauren huntress on wsg, everything was just easier... mostly just go pick up the flag. Yup, the allies had good gear, even a twink, did not help them at all. Just like ally are debuffed or horde are buffed in some invisible way.. I was surprised.
So, I have come to really really seriously hate (naseous) wsg and also but not that bad, ab.. yuck..

ok my take on all of this may either agree with u or not but i feel that everyone should just keep their opioions to themselves because everyone knows blizzard wont do anythink about it for a while and even if they did it wouldnt make THAT much of a difference and if ppl wana waste hard earned gold just to feel a power boost..then more power to them...they are just ******** the game for ppl that wana play normal and do hard work...thats all :)

I'm sorry sir but that is utter *********
Comparing real life rich kids and homeless ppl to players who optimize their chars vs causal players is way off.
People play this game to various degrees, some just wanna have fun a couple of hours a day, others optimize their chars and spend hours of farming to get the funds to buy the best gear.
There should be room for both kind of players no?
Subject is not wehter it is "ok" to twink or not, it's a matter of wether you guys should be able to dictate how other people play, untill you guys starts to pay the subs for all the players who spend time in BG, you really don't have a say as to how people can or can not play!

What I said is, that it's wrong to say that "everybody can do the same" because it just is'nt like that. And then it becomes unfair in a way. And some that builds these powermonger char's abuse that power to behave like hmmm [bad word] toward other players....

lol then he asks for twinking help in the horde forums. so i guess he asks the only people who *apparently* dont twink how to twink. i hope this guy responds so he looks like even more of a fool.

Nothing unfair or abusive about it, if you find yourself getting wiped in the BG's and don't have the time or will to twink your char, grp with some friends who enjoy BG's aswell, get on TS/Ventrilo or skype, learn to play together and go wipe the floor with those twinks.
A grp of ppl who play well together using voice-com is a force to be reckoned with, i'd say it takes 1 to beat 1 :)
It takes some degree of commitment to be able to compete, don't expect to be able to ladida your way through BG's.

It's true, twinks are a bother, but it's definitely not only the alliance. I've faced many a level 19 rogues with my paladin, they are veeeeeeeeery annoying, but I'm sure if you actually play one they're quite fun. Oh well, they'll never stop.
rofl just stfu cause the horde does it a lot more than the alliance.
just to make you feel better blizzard is gonna put xp everytime you kill somone in the bgs so twinks will be gone eventually and it will be allabout who has the better skill and not who can twink the best

anyways who really cares, if you really dont get bored of doing WSG over and over and over at lvl 19 then go ahead, personally i get freaking bored after like 10 of them and start lvling again

The idea that only Alliance twinks is just to funny. I've had my **** handed to me by Horde twinks enough times to know that statement is false.
I see nothing wrong with twinking your toon. If you work hard and have plenty of gold from your main, spend it anyway you want.
If you can't handle a good butt kicking once in a while....stay out of BGs. It happens and it's part of the game.

STFU if you haven't tried twinking. If you do ITS FUN! Theres nothing wrong with twinks, when u get bored and make one you keep playing it. I have a 60 shaman that usually goes about 20-5 in 60 BGs and my twink does just as well.

I wanted to laugh in your face when you said that. . . seriously
Hordies do tend to be more forthright about their twinks though, I remember a 10-19 Tauren War called Twinkerbeast...gave me a laugh.
