60 AV yesterday

[Oatboat]

Well I got my new server horde toons to 60 yesterday and was going to play in some AV for a bit before i started my next set.

To my surprise I was rudely welcomed by a premade of Vanilla players that ate my lunch.

Paladin, Mage, Shadow priest, Hunter and another. A full group of people that just play classic vanilla and lurk the battle grounds.

After armorying their guild.... i was like... yeah no wonder i'm melting lol.

Mage had 900 spell power at lvl 60. Ret Pally had like 9k health and so forth.

I think I might just skip that Level of AV cause I think they saw blood in the water when they saw a multiboxer join.

I'd say it's even worse in the 61-70 bracket. There seems to be a ton of people who never upgraded their account to WotLK and dominate AV during the AV holidays. Mix that in with leveling toons that go to Northrend at 68 and get massive gear upgrades, and you get some nice and frustrating times. I think the 71-79 AV is the most balanced for newer players, though at 80 you're going to run into geared toons again (hopefully you've saved up some honor and bought gear while leveling to 80).

Just retry in a day or so, there's a good chance you just had bad luck. They can't be online 24/7. (or can they?!?!)

60 and 70 are really bad. In the 61-70 bracket, there are level 70's that have more hitpoints than many people have at 80.

^This. Last AV weekend I was leveling my 5 boomkin team, and ran accross many lvl 70 twinks. One guy had like 24k hp at 70....

I decided to try out lvl 70 twinkage myself, seeing as how i can run some of the lvl 70 content myself on my 80s, i made 4 more accts and am 65 on 4 new shaman. Gonna try and farm Kara and Magtheridon as often as I can, to get the T4 tokens to buy PvP set gear. (already got one chest off of mag) Ill farm honor on AV weekend, and get a full lvl 70 pvp set, with wrath gems/enchants and ill show those other twinks whats up

60 and 70 AV twinking is about all there is left in the twink world outside of specific battlegroups, that have enough people twinking the lower brackets for the que to actually pop... IMO they either need to get rid of separate twink brackets, or put the 60, 70 (and soon to be 80) expansion capped twinks in the regular twink bracket.

I don't mind the upper level twinks. When you have enough spells and abilities you can outskill most of them, as long as you have at least blues of your level. I hate lower level twinks with a passion, and felt it ruined the game for many people.

[Oatboat]

Yeah, I mean its how they like to play.. just like how we like to multibox. Either way I get my kills and I have my fun.

Too bad Twinks are stuck in their own bracket and that's where they belong. It's bullshit behavior and anything anyone says otherwise is cheap justification. The only reason to Twink at 60 and 70 is to grief other players. There's no skill, no challenge. It was not to fight othr Twinks that people Twinked before the change....it was the same thing, to grief other players.

/Clap you're going to 4 box Shaman Twinks. Why? Just to be a dick?

The door is that way bro --->

No where in this thread did I say i was twinking 4 shamans at 60. Learn to read or ignore my threads.

[Catamer]

there are people who pay blizzard to stop their characters from leveling higher so they can twink out at a level.
Bliz supports this by offering the service in the first place.

bitter is as bitter does Velassra.
