Here, I'll do it for you.

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


BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Seriously, you meant that as a joke, right? Or are you playing on some private server we shouldn't discuss? I mean, it certainly looked like the undead rogue stabbing me in the face had a lifesteal enchant on his sword, but maybe undead weapons naturally glow purple.

Every time someone complains about twinks, it's always "the other guys" doing it more. Nobody wants to think the guy running around on their side, killing all their enemies with a flaming sword in one hand and an icy sword in the other could be in the wrong. Reality is, it goes both ways equally.

I'm not a twink myself (don't have a character with the resources to do it), but I don't much care if others do. And, to be perfectly honest, I'd probably do it myself given half the chance.

You might use words like "unfair advantage" and "unsporting" to defend your case. Well, define unfair. Is it unfair if some enchanter in your local important city is offering free enchants and you take a couple? Is it unfair that you lucked out and got a good piece of gear that extremely few others have? Would you, in the spirit of fairness, not use your enchanted weapon or exceptional gear in a BG?

Of course you would. You'd be stupid not to and we both know it.

So how is this different? Someone did the enchant, the item did drop, and it is being used. It doesn't matter if it came from a different character used by the same player, some kindly 300 enchanter giving out gifts for the holidays, or random luck. The item's there, it's being used, you die.

And seriously, if you think they killed you due to superior gear alone, think again. Gear only takes you so far, the rest is skill. Is it then unfair that more skilled players are ganking you?

I'm likely to get flamed for the above, but I'm tired of people having bad BG experiences and blaming it solely on twinks. Fact is, if you and the rest on your side aren't getting your act together, you're going to lose and one or fifteen twinks won't make a difference. I see my own side, Alliance on Skullcrusher, do it time and again; People see Horde on the field, everyone runs after the two or three guys, meanwhile our flag has been captured and the chan is going crazy with "why didn't you guys protect it?!?!?!?" Nobody bothered to look for the five guys with red over them walking casually into our base, ganking that lone hunter, and running with the flag back home.

And what does everyone say afterwards? "Twinks ruined it for us!!!!!" And yes, that included myself until I bothered to watch what was going on and focused on something more than HKs.

There was a level 19 horde rouge (pirate costume) playing the BG last night or the night before, WSG... +25 agi enchants, etc, etc, etc... My Pally is mid-twinked, and I was with another mild-twink, and a 'normal' guy. This one rouge would walk in, stand toe to toe with the 3 of us, and kill every single one of us. She scored all 3 points for the horde, returned the horde flag to it's base 5 times, and had over 50 kills and 0 deaths. So when people say one side twinks and the other doesn't, their so full of it their eyes are brown. I left that BG with 40 kills and 3 deaths in a losing effort 0-3. In fact, of the top 10 in kills, 8 were alliance, the 19 rouge was #1, and another horde was like #4...

Stop crying about twinks and make a BG character that's competitive...
