I hope there is an option to shut off xp gains.

[Tigercat]

I hope it's forced on every little twink out there.

Being a twink is like a 35 year old going back to first grade to be the smartest kid in class, and then bragging about it.

[Wazdakka]

I hope there isn't.

I hope it's significant and there's no way around it.

[darkdestiny]

Another Warhammer rip off. Sorry Twinks :-\

[Claym]

You do know they've been talking about doing this since at LEAST WotLK beta, right? It wouldn't surprise me if this idea had roots in BC or even vanilla. They're just talking about it more and more as of late. So uhh, welcome to at least 6 months ago?

Even when fighting other twinks?

The real reason people roll in the low brackets is because pvp at level 80 sucks.
Low brackets are as close to old world pvp as you can get.

In that it's complete bollocks where the people with the better gear/class/spec come out on top.

[Raptorg]

Twinks should gtfo.

I do hope it's forced on us. I want to blow off some steam during leveling.
And if I can get some leveling done while blowing of some steam. Can't say no to that.

Now I'm getting neither, and the moment I do go in PvP, I get 3 shotted the moment I get ressed.

A couple of times I've created some.. casual twinks. One shotting people all the time is.. Well, no fun at all. I can't understand why the twinks enjoy it.

You know Warhammer announced exp from pvp before WotLK was even announced right?

You do realize I didn't quote you because it wasn't directed at you, right? And Warhammer wasn't the first either, sorry. It wasn't WoW, but it wasn't Warhammer either.

[Wazdakka]

You know that leveling through PvP has been brought up since Battlegrounds were implemented, right? And that the answer has always been noncomittal because it's a PvE game, right? And that Warhammer is a PvP game? So it makes more sense for Warhammer to have PvP leveling than WoW?

[Henryhimself]

Leveling through PvP would be awesome! I do think it should be optional however, simply because i've nothing against twinks, and because in my experience there's less twinks at higher lvl'd battlegrounds where the leveling starts to get boring.

Could not agree more.

Other thing I'd like to say about Twinks: it's a huge turn-off for new players who appreciate PvP. They level their toon a bit, then step into WSG for the first time to see what this game can offer... and then can't understand why anyone would possibly suffer through this all the way to level 80, not understanding it's an uneven playing field 1-19, 20-29, 30-39, and then DK Madness 50-59.

it was already said: pvp xp has been debated forever and it is squashed every time(twink lobbying?).

for those of you who don't understand the art of twinking, you are just QQing. there is a dedication to understanding how to twink and also to gather the resources to twink. twinking at the lower levels is pvp at its truest form. everyone is geared similarly, the are no real OP abilities, a sucky player usually isn't carried by a good healer. for twinks, skill and timing are the only discernible factors.

for a new player...ya it kinda sucks. we all went through it. welcome to life. the big fish eats the little fish.

if you think of twinking like Formula 1 racing...you wouldn't bring mom's minivan and hope to compete.

"We don't plan to force experience gains on players. More on this later... "


People that complain about twinks are funny. If you knew anything about the twink bracket a lot of them are in it for running premades against premade, and many of them even go as far as using the PTR to make this a lot easier to set up.

There's no art to twinking. Art means there's creativity. There is only math and spreadsheets to twinking.

Everyone is geared similarly? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh yea, definitely, it's not like twinking is basically DEFINED by having obscene gear for the level. Everyone != twinks.

Skill and timing are the only factors? Really? REALLY? Yea, I'm sure the GEAR of a TWINK has no effect on who wins.

Christ man, you have completely lost touch with reality, haven't you? I don't think twinking should be removed. It's not my playstyle, but I believe people should have the option to do it at least. But you... man you are just plain delusional.

[Strykier]

Oh man...if this means that I'd never have to do another quest turn-in again and just pvp my way to 80 on my alts, I would be fucking ecstatic. This was my (only) favorite aspect of WAR - the epicness of leveling up through the slaughter of other PC's.

[Nym]

Would love to level an Alt through PVP. It would be awesome of there was an achievement or title for doing it to like Born of Blood, Warchild, or Ultimate Fighter.

If you really want to make the twink community happy allow it to be turned off in the Options menu.

Very well put... I vote Optional XP gains

Ever play 19 bracket?? over 75% of the toons are twinks. when twinking a class there is really on 1, mayb 2 pieces of gear for each slot.. thats what he meant by every1 having the same gear.

Clearly you had a bad experience againsst twinks tht scarred you.

You also wouldn't bring your Formula 1 racer to the school zone and try to defend your child roadkill.
