seaoholes I dont want to call you a liar but you started a week ago and have multiple level 70's? this I have to doubt and when your not not truthful about one thing it calls everything you've said into question. unless of course you have been ebaying.
You should doubt it. It's not true. It was a facetious response to Nefarion's blatant stupidity and oh so overwhelming prophet like nature.
I have been playing since day 1, DAOC before that, EQ before that with some others mixed in here and there.

And just to reinforce the idea ...
Otherwise, it's just sad. I myself played a twink Warrior in this very bracket and destroying "lowbie clothies", as you so aptly put it didn't involve a whole lot of skill.
If it takes no skill, why do it? Just like I said before, it's DOOM /godmode. Great. /YAWN

I built a twink because I thought it would be fun. And you know what? It is. My main is a 70 protection warrior, used to be fury. I figured, how better to really learn how to play a class than to have various levels of the same class?
Now, don't get me wrong, my 19 arms warrior twink is different than my 70 ptrotection, but the basics help. I will eventually build a 29 arms undead warrior also. An added beneifit is that I like a challenge. And heavily twinked 19 rogues and hunters are a challenge. Man what a challenge! But, if I get ahold of that hunter, he is toast. And I will gradually burn that rogue to the ground. That is fun.
There are crybaby's that complain about twinks in either faction. And believe me, I know what it is like being camped in the WSG graveyard by the other side. But when you have had enough, build that twink. Then, they camp the level 12 through 17 non-twinks in your raid group, while you go run the flag back and score. That, my friend, is a beautiful thing.

Folks twink for a bit of variety in their gameplay, not my thing, but hey whatever floats ya boat, never know one day I might get bored n roll one. Having a twink is no reflection on your end game ability, it's just a different playstyle.
People get the hump with twinks for two reasons mainly.
1. if you are a new player and visit a L19/29/39 bg you will get destroyed by twinked out players without knowing why. But then remove the twinks from these Bgs n they would be near empty
2. Some twinks feel it is perfectly acceptable to abuse other players /spit l2p etc. I personally find all that stuff distastefull

(rofling) All you people who yell at twinks now... What if we (twinks) are gone? What will you whine about than? :) You wont be able to find an excuse for your lack of skill, and will just leave WoW? Or will whine how some classes are OP in different brackets? (rogues in 19, huntards in 29, enh shammys 49,59,69...). My advise... Get decent gear. Not enchanted, not blue, but at least DECENT gear of your lvl. Go to BG, and try to raise your skill. lvl 19 rogue twink can be soloed by lvl 19 green geared hunt with lvl 17 pig. Been there done that.
P.S.: If anyone thinks that twinked rogue, or any dps class is god mode... Try to kill a twinked healer. 0_o

Who has the lack of skill? I'd say it's the twink who needs that overwhelming advantage to compete.

I rerolled a new server, and got sick of levelling. So deciding to 'twink' my guy at 49. But o wait, I cant get my twink gear as it is "absolutely impossible" to get on my own. But wait. He is self funded. I find it a challenge to use the AH to make my money and get good gear for my character.
So yeah, you can self fund a twink psh
1. You are using it for PVE. Great. Have fun. This doesn't imbalance PVP.
2. If you are self funded, how is that a twink?
3. Are you running yourself through instances that are higher level than yourself to get the really nice BOP drops? No? Thought so.

Or maybe, we could actually get some decent gear so as to not be roflstomped. Gasp! but that means putting some effort in!
Yeah. Right. Buying gold on ebay takes a lot of effort.

1. You are using it for PVE. Great. Have fun. This doesn't imbalance PVP. are you suggesting that lower brackets without twinks would be balanced?
2. If you are self funded, how is that a twink? better gear than he should have (ie through enchants)

I am suggesting lower level brackets without twinks would be more balanced. Blizzard doesn't seem to have the talent to truely balance the classes, sooo
If you take an already OP class at the 19 BGs and now you run them through all the lower level instances so that he is extremely decked out with great blue BOP drops, how does any non OP class that is not twinked stand even a chance of having a good time?
It's sad the ways people will pervert the game to gain an advantage.
Reminds me of DAOC. As an active Healer, when I was killed, all the buffs on my friends dropped. BAM. Immediate 25%-40% reduction in capabilities.
So, people would use multiple accounts where a buffer would never leave the keep (completely protected). Thus, the buffs on the players actually fighting never dropped until they were killed. Didn't matter that they were half way across the zone.
What does that amount to? People buying wins with VISA. Paying for 2nd accounts, not to increase their fun, but to gain a tactical (cheap) advantage over everyone else.

Ever heard of dailies?
No. What are those?
I could fund an extreme twink if I wanted to. That's not the point. Not EVERYONE has 1 70, let alone multiple.
And besides, what's the point of twinking if everyone else is twinked? It's an even match. You could get an even match if no one was twinked also. But, then, the super twinkers wouldnt be able to gank the untwinked.
course, you COULD buy gold on ebay, but then you'd be a tool
Someone does obviously. Probably 19 BG twinks. I just know it ain't me.
