Absolutely agree with all this. The entitlement required to believe that they are owed a level/balanced experience against players who invested the time and gold into their character vs. their greys and greens and their 0% effort brainless jaded grinding and 100% entitlement all leads up to ...

Second, you cannot kick them out of BGs even if devs remove the expoff function. They will start making characters with the 'Slow and Steady' challenge instead of stopping exp, and after a couple of BGs, they will just kill themselves in the open world to roll back their exp progress :lol: :lol ...

People enjoy winning and people enjoy being dicks. It may be toxic, but I think you'll find that if you remove people's ability to artificially create a scenario where they can feel "superior" to others, a lot of people will find the game no longer enjoyable, and you will probably find ...

1) BGs were never supposed to be there to provide easy xp. The main source for xp is supposed to be questing, not dungeons or BGs. You can increase the xp gained in BGs, but it will destroy the deliberate slow pace of the game (it's predecessor was called Turtle Wow for a reason). Questing is ...

This is wrong! I know for a fact that MANY players actively avoid queueing because of twinks, or stop queuing if they run into them


I agree, that’s exactly how it is. This state of affairs hinders the majority, especially at low levels.


that's exactly it! if the playstyle/behaviour of a ...

Devs have already done a great job of destroying Bgs. Thanks for 50%exp nerf... And now you're suggesting to remove twinks from the Battlegrounds, which will lead to even longer queues. Thank you very much, but I'd rather play with twinks than wait 2 hours in que.
I don't think twinks are a ...

I am currently leveling my third character to 60, first time leveling since August though, and I have to say, I am shocked how leveling battlegrounds have developed and it's to a degree that is harmful to your product (the server).

After having leveled largely through battlegrounds now at almost 60 ...

Just make it impossible to queue for a BG if you have exp gain disabled.
I don't know how this is even a discussion. Twinking provides a fun play-style for a small minority at the cost of straight up deteriorating the game experience for the vast majority of players and thus harms the server ...

It’s a double edged sword.
Twinks have always been a part of wow and there is a community for it.
However I think especially during the first phases of a server (I‘d say roughly until BWL release), where most players are leveling their mains, there is no reason to twink out a character other than ...

• Thorn Gorge matches now trigger with 5 players per side instead of requiring 6


Nice. I also hope that marks, reputation and rewards will be added to Thorn Gorge. Without them, there is not enough incentive to queue this battleground. Actually, good honor per hour compared to other ...
