Twinks are over...

Patch 3.2:
Players will now be awarded experience for completing objectives and actions that yield honor in Battlegrounds (honorable kills not included).
Players with experience gains turned off who compete in Battlegrounds will face off only against other players with experience gains turned off.
This is the final nail in the coffin for twinks. Enchants taken away from them slowly, and now they will only face other twinks in BGs.. if they even get into BGs that is, cause it has to be enough twinks in their bracket for the BG to start.
Goodbye twinks.
edit: ye, sry, not familiar on these forums.. I searched, but I didnt search the pvp section ^^

Ohh NOE!
Now twinks might have to face equally geared opponents thus relying on skill and not gear!
Oh the horror, not to faceroll anything :o

And did you really have to go through and bump every thread that has to do with twinking? Bad enough to have one thread with QQ, but must you fill up the front page with it?

QFT. Twinks make bgs a pain in the arse for people who just want to play a few rounds when they get to level x9 while levelling.
No kidding. I went into AV with my 65 druid only to find lvl 70 twinks with brutal gear bouncing their face off of their keyboard.

while twinks will be forced to fight a more level playing field and casual BGers will have a chance the real prize is in turning off exp gains. this gives twinks the opportunity to run dungeons multiple times without fear of changing brackets as they farm superior gear with very low droprates then jump right back into BGs with their sword of mighty awesomeness or whatnot.
yes you'll not have HKs handed to you anymore, yes non twinks joining BGs aren't instant honor for everyone else, BUT it also means twinks can now gain even better gear for the purpose of twinking

This news is old but it's still great.
Not only is leveling via pvp a dream finally starting to come true for WoW, but all those people who claimed they didn't twink to just one shot everything in sight will either get what they wanted or get shut up for good.

Hopefully you're right, I hate twinks. But I don't think the reasons you entered are actually legit reasons why twinking will be "dead" -- I think its because there are tons of twinks that loved killing leveling players 6+ levels lower than them with of the eagle greens on. Now that you'll only be able to fight other twinks, the fun is over for all the twink noobs, which is most of them. Time to get back on that 80 and enjoy the 1300's, im sure the <1500 bracket will be much busier with twink bads playing their mains again.

I guess this means you're not going to twink since you can't camp graveyards and kill newbs in greens anymore?

Just thought I'd point out that a group of 10 twinks can go do WSG in the normal bracket and not get any exp. They can let the other team get a free flag cap then just hk farm the rest of the game. They get zero experience. If they'll get exp by finishing the WSG then they can just afk before it ends.
Twink's aren't over. Now they just have to be organized.
Or they can do it the fun way and have premade vs premade. Exceptionally fun on Tichondrius before crossrealms.

I think that for the lowest leveled brackets (10 - 19, 20 - 29) twinking may be mostly over...
but i doubt twinking will go away for the higher end brackets, most specifically, the ones with lvl 60s.
Mostly i say this because due to the exp turnoff, people are thinking of making lvl 60 raid guilds.
