60 AV yesterday

[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.

[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.

They changed it back to allow account capped toons back into the leveling battlegrounds. But really, there is no justification for it other than griefing.

Let's see, challenge? Nope, not enough "Twinks to fight other Twinks" so that isn it.
Skill? Nah, keyboard turning 1 button spam will probably be enough. (Seen a keyboard turning Sunwell geared Ret pin half a horde raid in SH gy.)

But let's see (in general not at anyone specific):
-level capped (intentionally not upgrading) to Multibox 4 Twinked (PvP geared) Shaman in a battleground swarming with levelers in greens and blues. I like AE grinding grey mobs too.

Blizzard allows it but let's be honest, it is what it is. It's griefing levelers no matter how it's justified. It's no different than the Twinks in the othjer battlegrounds that got put in their own grounds.

I rarely PvP so whatever, but I've seen it enough to see how sadistic it is. But hey, I can keep an open mind......so tell me, what is the purpose to account capping to 60 or 70, stacking w/ raid or old Arena gear on a multibox PvP team, going into AV and grinding on levelers? For what? What do you get out of it?

"Let's see, challenge? Nope, not enough "Twinks to fight other Twinks" so that isn it." - Actually, there are quite a few twinks out there. it's also a good change of pvp, same classes, but relying on different skills. Also, taking on more than 1 person at once even while twinked can be difficult. I don't use any OL gear and lvl 58-60 horde have gear that nearly equals me.

Also, you are forgetting WSG and AB are 60-69, I play those games too, it is a challenge to beat a lvl 67+ while being only lvl 60.

My bad, I guess I should learn to read

This is my 60 twink :P

Feel free to armoury the rest of the guild too lol.

Using the NPCs in the cities to stop lvling is not an option, those BGs never pop, just we all just bought new accounts and don't upgrade them. And by the by, 1v1 battles against other twinks are awesome.

[Littleburst]

people will always have a different opinion on twinking. But imo I'd rather meet a twink at 60 or 70 then full 4 wrathfull shaman at 80.

I did some slight twinking on 4 60 shaman, just ran them through ramps and got them in full outland gear asap to farm AV. Mad fun, best pvp experiences were in 60 AV really. oneshotting 3 people at once with 4 CL's. It can be an inmensly powerful tool.

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.

Yep, I have a 60 warrior twink myself with 14.9K hp unbuffed ;P

--17 +30 sta gems in socket gear that I got during BC Trial
--(2) +85 Sta Trinkets because of gnome +engi racial
--375 mining / skinning for extra sta/crit

I love playing my twink ;P But I do feel bad for the people lvling sometimes, fun to fight other twinks though. I love lvl 60 pvp.

But yeah, it is even worse at 70 with all the people in full merc/veng/brutals, much much worse.

Bloodlust battlegroup there are a LOT of 60 twinks, both sides. It's actually starting to increase and getting quite fun. I've started boxing 5 shadow priest twinks (only one has any good gear, the rest are in like 2 epics and starting zone gear lol).

But I don't stoop to getting BC and WotLK trials to stam gem myself. Not only do I not respect it (gemadins on alliance are bads, you can't get that gear/gems again after the trial runs out, etc), it's really just gemming up to outlast the enemy. Glass cannons are fun to play (when solo) and you have to rely on skill to keep yourself alive, even when you hit so hard.

I actually prefer solo twink play on my hunter or disc priest healer, I made the 5 spriests as a way to kill the horde twinks who used the trials to gem themselves. That's all I target, rest of the time I just sit in the towers one by one til they burn (that way the lvlers get their xp). If horde go for our bunkers I don't back cap while boxing, only while solo.
