Twinks, what's thei purpose?Follow

Oops major typo there. I meant to say I pretty much agree. Lol.


I do think you get a bit more of a positive additude in BG than most twinks though. For one you are a paladin and not a rogue. SecondI'm pretty sure that you are helping you team by healing and cleansing, and misc. rather than trying to be a warrioradin and farming HKs. Third I'm pretty sure you're not an ******** (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong^^) and don't spit on the corpses of the people you kill like I too often see in general.

Hey Allegory,
I don't have a twink yet (cause I probably will at some time finish transforming my shaman into a twink), but I already /spit on my foe's corpse once I'm done with him.
Not if it was a tough fight, though, tough fights get a /bow, but a mediocre or easy fight gets /spit at least once.

You gotta motivate your enemy to do his best to spill your innards, and /spit /spit /laugh does that remarkably.

Nerf Shamans.

Scratch that. Shamans are okay.

Thank you for rereading my posts. I’m puzzled that someone could miss the entire paragraph where I said my characters were mains who found or bought all their gear themselves, and thus by definition were not twinks. But I’m glad we have that sorted out.



Please accept my word that there are plenty of characters in the 30-39 and 40-49 brackets equipped with excellent gear bought for them by the same player’s high-level characters: twinks, in other words. I play with and against them all the time. They’re relatively easy to spot, just as they are in the early brackets. Kang the Decapitator is a common warrior twink weapon, generally with Crusader. Hunters dual-wielding the Axe of Rinji with +15 agi and shooting Hurricane are a common sight. You can spot people wearing the Glowing Brightwood Staff and the elite cloth robe (name escapes me) a mile away.

I enjoy facing those opponents much more than I do players with suboptimal gear. They are a greater challenge, especially when you face an organized PVP group of 5-10 of them.

So that’s one sense that I enjoy facing twinks.

The other sense is that I remember the twinks I faced in the past fondly, since I learned a great deal about PVP by fighting them. I left the 19 and 29 brackets because I was impatient for higher-level talents and skills, not because the twinks ruined the experience for me.

(Well, actually, one of my characters left the 29s bracket accidentally, when an unexpected map reveal pushed him to 30. Oops!)

Once Burning Crusade comes out, I expect the 39 and 49 brackets to become the hot new twink areas, since from what I’ve seen of the new enchants, they’re generally restricted to items level 35 and above, meaning they could give a 39 or 49 an incredible edge. Should be interesting.

Now that one of my characters is 58, pitting his PVP reward gear against raiders, I’m enjoying that challenge too.

I've found that the quickest way for me to gain PvP aggro is to cast heal spells. That seriously irritates people.

Mistakes get fixed. There have been how many patches since go live, don't you think that if blizzard wanted to fix it they would have? The fact is they chose not to because it's fine the way it is.



By your own claims the lack of level restrictions on enchants must have be correct. Otherwise alot of QA analysts would have gotten fired. This was not an "oops we forgot enchanting restrictions" type of moment, it would have been discussed many times and clearly a unanimous decision by the group that decides these things must have come up with "leave it the way it is, it's fine".

I mean people ***** and complain when one class gets X buff or Y nerf, but when blizz puts buffs in that EVERY ONE can use/enjoy people ***** about that too.

Seriously people get it together, it's in there by design whether you think it should be or not. So either embrace it like a lot of smart people have or keep on fighting it, i'm sure you think you're making a point by not "twinking", but it's hard to see that point when you're face down in the dirt with a flaming dagger sticking out of your back.

Sorry TseTsuo xD , read your post wrong -.-;;;;

Stupidity on my part ftw... anywho, rate me down if you like <_<

No, Blizzard isn't afraid to mess with enchanting for fear of pissing a signifigant customer base off. Disenchanting 2.0.1 anyone? Capping disenchantment based on enchantment proves they know it can be abused and proves if they don't like the abuse, they can stop it.

The reason they won't level cap enchanting itself is it's a money sink. You buy Crusader on your Bad-*** Sword of Alliance Slaying +10 at level 19 and you won't get the mats back come level 24, when other swords are available and you need that Crusader ench once again. Money sinks are what balances the uncapped drops.

They didn't expect anyone to actually stay at level 19 or 29 for a long period of time (Or any level but capped for that matter), so they didn't see an issue. And to them, twinking still isn't an issue. It might make a few pissed enough to quit, but I'd wager far more push harder to get a character to cap, just so they can twink too. Add to that the already prevalent attitude of "new stuff, gotta have" that comes with every patch and you can count on keeping a solid base of customers, even if all they want is a tricked out BG toon.

I have to agree, and I think it mainly has to do with the fact that enchants are "spells" that are "cast", rather than items that are made.

After all, if they had no reservations about people being able to increase the stats on items, why do armor kits have level requirements? Armor kits are basically a +armor enchantment.

It wasn't a major concern originally in the game because, initially, there were no BG's, and thus, no reason for someone to make a character which would stop at a certain level.

Right now i am level 41. the teen, twenties, and thirtys brackets were completely ruined for me-all because of twinkers. From the very beginning at level 18 i started WSG and i hated it because of twinks- i love AB but same problem
So you call me lazy because i dont want to spend hours in raids trying to get the "best gear". .. its not like ill be in the X9's for more then a week or so.

And oh yeah...
