Hey there fellow twinks!
I've noticed an increase in twink numbers, especially on alliance. People really seem to enjoy the concept of twinking and generally like the idea of stopping xp at certain twinking levels. But, due to some changes warmane implemented, twinking at bracket 70-79 is not at its full potential. More specifically, level 70 twinks have a hard time reaching the full experience and potential of being a 70 twink for a few reasons:
-Gear that was otherwise purchasable by vote points was removed (quite a long time ago) from Vote shop making it even harder to twink at 70. That is not much of a problem because 70 raids are easy, people say. But are they? Yes, those low ones really are easy and all that, but what about the main ones of the patch? Say a twink wants his t6 set by doing these raids. Hyjal works, you get 2 pieces from there and it's gg. But, Black Temple, suddenly bugged. Yes, it doesn't seem like much of a problem, you can just take some Sunwell gear and replace those set parts but then you go to Sunwell and wonder: What the **** is this? Bosses bugged, those who are not bugged are buffed ( increased damage and,on some, hp by 100%). So you have to compromise, you have to bring 80s instead of whom you'd otherwise bring more twinks to help them gear. The raids of the TBC patch are in a bad state at the moment, making it hard for twinks to enjoy the content. I'm just saying that Warmane should look into these bugs, but they won't just do it out of their good will. We, who enjoy twinking, must pressure them to fix these bugs and make it more worthwhile for us to actually have a twink. And that's just the PvE part.
-As for pvp, it sucks. I mean, battlegrounds don't suck, world pvp is fine i guess, but what about the gear? Arenas?
A long time ago, on a server far, far away we could actually play ranked arenas and have arena teams. Those arenas had purpose! "Oh I'm gonna get me some Brutal!"
We could actually just buy the best pvp tier ingame for the 70 twinks for arena points, and I mean, come on, who doesn't enjoy ranked arenas, let alone at level 70? And what about now, we can buy filthy gladiator gear for 15k honor each (not really, just generalizing) and the max tier of pvp gear we get to ever obtain ingame is Merciless! Vengeful is actually present ingame, vendors chilling with it. But how, the ****, are we supposed to buy them when they each cost arena points ( above 1k) when we can't even play ranked arenas anymore ? Even BG Call to Arms don't give arena pts they should normally give! So this leads to people donating for 70 gear ( :D :D ) who are sick and tired of this.
So, i ask of those who want to see 70 twinking rising up and flourish again, to make a poll or something to, for example, bring back ranked arenas, make all 70 items that should be available ingame ACTUALLY available. Also, fix raids, but i guess there's bugtracker for that ( much use of it -_-).
I just want to enjoy being a twink.
Aluvon, a 79 twink? :)
Yeah but seriously, making more 70s ! Sorry for my English, i bet i made some spelling mistakes there.
