Players with Vagrant's Endeavor/Artisan's Quest should not be able to que for PvP at all imo, or have XP gains disabled.
You are using battlegrounds to get boosted, circumventing self imposed challenges in adition to griefing your team.
Pretty sure you're just the offended backpedaling 39 hunter :P

So you're basically the opposite of a twink. While a twink brings a lot to a BG, whatever team you end up on basically has one less person in it.

You're basically griefing by participating in BGs as Traveling Craftsman tbh. I don't really care either way. I don't expect or even *want* BGs to be balanced. There will always be twinks. There will always be dead weight. That's just the world of BGs while leveling.

But if you care about Twinks being in BGs, you should be consistent and not queue up as a Traveling Craftsman. That's the only reason I'm posting. I view your opinion as being very much contradicting. Because if Twinks are a problem, you're also a problem.

To be clear I personally don't think you *or* the twinks are a problem.

So only level 39, with BIS pvp gear can participate to battleground ? Battlegrounds are not allowed to new players that have 0 clue about the game ? What is this nazi take ? You are telling me than a 39 XP locked backpedaling hunter with 2K+ HPs at level 29 is more legitimate to enter battleground than me, having spent my entire life in Warsong Gulch, with my full crafted BIS gear, full consumables, and trying my hardest ? Yet another one skill lacker that has trouble carrying and tries to find a better responsible for it.

XP locking is just a vicious tool when it comes to battlegrounds and shouldn't be allowed

In fact, i'm not even underleveled. The bracket starts from 0 to 9. Since 2005 i'd queue up 24/7 no matter what. I don't even need XP. I'm fine with fighting higher levels, i still can win. But the locked XP dudes with fiery weapon, full enchants makes no sense. When i'm X9 and about to level up, I DO. And i go struggle in the next one rather than one shotting levelers for weeks. WTF.

Never, ever, in my entire life i'd even think about locking XP

People being new to the game is one thing.
Applying a challenge on oneself only being able to wear white gear, que for BGs and go AFK is something else.
Challenges carry zero weight as long as you can get boosted in BGs.
Should not be possible imo.


Twinking is fun
PvP was never and will probably never be ''balanced''

On another note the xp rate is still very high and the treshold for bgs popping is too low, leading to 5 min games where the WSG team with a druid wins before closing for alot of XP with zero effort. Increased threshold for BG pops (fewer pops but better quality matches).

Buddy, you need to learn to read. I'm not even bothering beyond that. I basically said the complete opposite of what you're claiming. For you to read what I said and believe that I think only level 39 twinks should be in BGs is wild. I assume you're ESL but even then, I was pretty clear in what I was saying.

Read my comment again, maybe put it through a translator to your native language or ask Chat GPT to explain it for you.

edit; I'm not bumping this thread again. Buddy saw me say "dead weight" and had an absolute meltdown. I didn't say or imply any of the things he's claiming.
