Twinks and lack of games

[Aradar]

I'm not trying to harp on people who play twinks, by all means, play how you want. I had a couple twinks in my time. What I find amusing is twinks have been asking for this for a long while, some ability to turn off XP or only que against other twinks. Blizzard gave them both of these. If they turn off XP, they can only que against other people with XP off. Now there are long / nonexistent ques. Why is that? Simple. They can't start games that don't have enough players so the logical explanation is that there aren't enough twinks that have their XP off queing. It's not a far assumption from there that they aren't turning off their XP because they were just trying to justify themselves being qued with non-twinks. If all the twinks that were crying about wanting to play with other twinks DID go and turn off their XP, and que, then this wouldn't be in issue unless the BG just has a very, very small twink population.

I'm willing to wager the twink population is greater than the multiboxing population. You don't see wow forums completely overrun with people talking about multiboxing as you do twinks talking about twinking. If you're in doubt, go check your BG forums.

As I said before, I think this will cause twinks to migrate to other servers if they really want to play with other twinks, much like multiboxers have begun to migrate to servers with other boxers.

TL;DR I'm not the pot calling the kettle black, I'm very much amused that the crying child finally got his issues addressed and is now crying about it.

Though I understand what your saying, just because they got what they supposedly wanted and it has resulted in an unforessen problem, doesn't invalidate their reasoning imo. I also agree that their community is probably much larger than ours, but again with the issues I mentioned earlier, even if they all turned their xp off, the likelihood of having 20 of them in one battlegroup queue at the same time is not likely.

The key difference between the multi-boxers and the twinks is that the latter style of gameplay impacts severely upon that of others, and in fact defeats Blizzards whole intention for the PvP areas. It seems twinks wanted to be able to stay there permanently and grief others, but ignored the old saw "Be careful what you wish for...".

I guess your against multiboxers pvping then since the same argument applies. And how is it against the intent of PVP areas? The intent of PVP areas is so that players can fight one another, how does their gear go against that intent? If Blizzard truly wanted pvp to be balanced across the board as you suggest, they would implement a gear matching system that worked and decrease the size of the bracket ranges. Though I agree they got what they wished for, the unintended consequence of long ques doesn't result in the logical jump to they must have been lying about what they really wanted imo.

The funny thing is that the non-exp will never be reverted. If you think the tiny uproar about twinks crying about not having games is bad just think if they reverted it back . Its funny, I have 2 guild mates that have all the x9 twinks and they got a couple of games in VS other twinks.....they said it was a snore fest. Turtle city they call it. The fact is that everyone has made twinks to roll bad low level players, I dont care what anyone says. Hell I made a twink 39 rogue many months ago and guess what. I made it to plow thru people plain and simple. People like not having as many abilities as is needed at 80 so all they need are 4 buttons compared to xyz classes 15 or so.


Anyone who comes here and defends twinking needs to also mention the fact that the reason that they spend so much time/gold on their twinks is to plain and simple gain an advantage over other players twink or otherwise. The fact that they chose to stop leveling in any particular bracket doesnt hold any weight. They could have just as easily stopped leveling and played the bracket without twinking.

"We only like to fight other Twinks...."

"You only have bg's because of Twinks......there;'s more of us than you..."

I guess not.

I really dont understand why they wont let twinks play people who are leveling... so that twink steamrolled you, so what in one day you are going to be out of that bracket anyways. For a non twink its just an inconvenience until you are 80, for a twink well... they don't get to play much anymore. I have to lol about that one though...

They do allow twinks to play with the non twinks/people who are leveling.
