XP-Locked Twinks Ruin the PvP Leveling Experience

[Cedet6d]

And anyway, it comes down to this GREAT idea months ago about that painful debuff being applied to grey killers. I was like ALONE reaaaally hyped by this change. Then all those backpedaling BM hunters hard complained. That part of the community is just overrepresented and the game goes their way. This is democracy. Once again. Everywhere.

Getting farmed by those as a craftman challenger is extremely frustating.

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.

This should be the pinned /thread post. As someone on turtle who both casually joined BGs and had 19 twinks, you just don't get to complain about how you approach. It's like complaining about getting killed in War Mode. You knew what you signed up for, roll with it. Nothing is going to change and nothing should change, it's the very nature of the set up. I'm working on a War Mode/Slow and Steady/Craftsman at the moment and I absolutely have no intention of using BG until 60.

Also nampower is killing the good old Vanilla Warsong Gulch btw

I need to do a thread about it i guess, but making nameplates visible from 200y without occlusion makes you unable to hide with flag which is a big part of wsg... if nameplate distance could be set back to 20y as it is on Vanilla, it'd make a lot of sense !

what you are saying makes since but the game as a whole is better the way it is now.... do you think there is a way it implement it in just wsg?

I edited my post, i meant if possible limit it at 20y in wsg. I don't know if it's possible but maybe it's this simple

i have no idea im too hillbilly for that but i do agree with you about wsg. although i had someone hide on my whole team for like 10mins yesterday i still dont know where he was or how he got there

What dead weight ? i'm telling you i'm an underleveled and undergeared carry

This has to be satire

I think XP locking is a serious problem when it comes to battlegrounds, especially for players who are actually leveling their characters through PvP.
...

I support the proposal. We should ban level-up freezes. It's hindering the majority of players for the amusement of a few.

this is a wholly avoidable problem. the problem is that you DON"T want to avoid it and punish others for YOU being inconvenienced

At levels 20–29, it makes sense to play only Arathi Basin.

This offers a better chance of influencing the course of the battle, despite the difference in gear.

Twinks also using texture bugs on Warsong Gulch, that makes impossible to kill them playing on melee classes.

Oh it’s you, the Blackrock Orc Warlock that posts his linen belt and craftsman challenge in general chat as soon as he enters the battleground.

Of course you carry here and there, you’re a warlock all you have to do is spam fear. I’ve played with you and whenever you were in my team you laughed at the other team and were quite happy that you‘re in the winning team.

Threads like these cycle into WoW forums since the dawn of ages because of emotional resonance due to a few too many lost battlegrounds. So there is no valid logic behind the complaint but rather boiled up emotion.
And no, most people don’t mind the twinks as it’s random in which team you end up due to cross faction and therefor has 0 impact on the balancing of the game. They make the game fun as they are the equivalent of an Elite Mob in pve that requires a tat more strategy to overcome. Most people cheer twi ks on and are quite thankful that they break the class meta. Without twinks you’ll naturally have paladins, shamans, hunters and warlocks dominate the games again since they have a different skillset.

I highly implore you to research millions of other threads and forum posts about twinking over the age of WoW to get a better understanding of the topic. Stopping the experience bar creates tons of mini games with different max level gear and abilities. Don’t just ruin that because you lost a handful of battleground which doesn’t even matter since you get experience per 200 points in Arathi basin. And in Arathi basin, fast and sticky classes like hunters, shamans, druids and paladins are naturally more game defining than the twinks due to them being quicker and more efficient at each flag post and defending it. At least sub lvl 40 brackets where you don’t have fast mounts.
