I met a girl once. She was upset by her inability to beat a man in an arm wrestling match. So she came up with a plan. Become the.. BIONIC WOMAN. Giving herself unnaturally powerful equipment she then went on to dominate the professional arm wrestling circuit.
But you know what happened next? No one heaped the accolades on her.
No one even paid any attention to her. She was a cheat.
There are some valid uses for twinks. A whole guild of them that wants to play other twink guilds is a unique and valid concept. However this is very rare. The vast majority (and I mean really fricken vast) of twinks are kids who see PvP happening and dream of success. Yet at every occasion they find themselves bested for various reasons. (A short list.. Keyboard turning. Ignorance of keybinding, playing a priest in any capacity) So they seek out a way they can succeed. They are human. They want to feel successful. And alot of them do not care how they get this endorphin rush.
Twinks are creative cheaters. Or at least the first ones were. The rest are just sad.
PS - I am not talking to you so shut the hell up.
you just got a fan

lol What a bunch of loser QQing $%^&s you people are.
Gear = skill right? You're bitching because YOU LOSE, obviously. Thus gear does = skill, is what you're saying.
How pathetic is that? Way more pathetic than you could ever make even the worst twink look like.
Who the @#$% is going to pass up better gear because they want you communist/socialist *!@#s to feel like you have an even battle, even when the difference is not nearly as great as you make it seem.
How about you lazy fools study the &*!@ out of the classes and the gear thats giving you issues, and create a counter for it and have at least HALF THE FUN THEY DO. Because at the end of the day, they are having fun, and you're sitting in a forum with your #$%^ing support group you can find here bitching and crying about how unfair it all is.
Never made a twink in my life, but this arguement is just old and PATHETIC. Either come up with a method to deal with it or stop playing pugs &*!@#$%.

Right, so according to what you people in this topic say, twinks are gentlemen who dont kill lowbies and only seek a real challenge with the other twinks, they know their classes and the game mechanics and are generally smart people who are a pleasure to play with. Riiiiight.
So that bunch of lvl19 gnome rogues with pink ponytails mashing sinister strike and macro for "/y LOL" are obviously just my hallucinations or something. Or the loads of retard I have to deal with everytime I enter a lower bracket in any BG when I want a bit of change in the constant levelling of an alt - twinks telling lower level players to "gtfo nub, get back when u hav som gear lol" and absolutely ignoring the battleground objectives (who cares about the flag in warsong or bases in AB when you can run around like a retard hunting HKs, amirite?). No, that obviously never happens :))
And yes, this thread is new and interesting.

No accounting for jerks. That is an assuming generalization to the mentality of twinks, and definitely isn't the norm. Those are the kind of people who probably do the same at max level anyway, and/or are the ones who twink due to their inability to compete at any other level of pvp.
Some people are just !@#$s. Don't think that's how every twink acts.

Can't they fight normal players with equal gear?
The sad fact is most players go into battlegrounds ESPECIALLY in the 19 bracket with absolutely pathetic gear. Even on a non twink character you will not find me using anywhere near equal gear.
Spending 1000g? Heck no. I spent maybe 100g tops gearing my twink. I farmed all the mats. Had a friend run me through instances to get the gear. Seriously, most twinks gear isn't anything amazing. They just took the time to actually figure where they could get the best gear and enchanted it well instead of walking in with level 5 vendor gear.
My non twink characters usually have 300+ more health than other players in the 19 bracket simply because I throw a bunch of stamina enchants on with enchanting materials I kept around.
There are a handful of idiot twinks. It doesn't take a twink to take down a twink. But say you're a rogue...and you go running up to a ret paladin twink 1v1 in the 39 bracket. You're going to get your face punched in. Its like a guy in outland greens going up against a guy in full brutal gladiator. You will get owned if he's of equal or greater skill level.
Tip: avoid 19 and 29 brackets. level. its easy to get through these first 30 levels fairly quickly. Don't waste your time pvping if you don't like putting up with twinks. Just like before the level cap was raised, it was generally better to farm your honor in 69 bracket before hitting 70 when you start running into the well geared players. Play smart.

twinks ruin low level Battlegrounds for new players and should be abolished from the game
Arena geared players ruin Battlegrounds for new 70s/80s and should be abolished from the game.
Have you ever gone up against a full brutal geared character in outland greens and blues? I can tell you that it is far less painful to get beaten up by a twink then these guys.
There will always be better players. Whether its gear or skill or both. A premade of twinks hurts and is practically unbeatable just as a premade full of full arena geared players hurts and is practically unbeatable.
Its akin to stop keeping score in a football game so as to not hurt the feelings of the lesser prepared team...
And again, as I pointed out, the majority of twinks are nothing special. They have good enchants and they have good gear. Most of which drops from instances their level. With exception to the hardcore twinks with their fishing hat and boots and grand master arena trinkets. The rest is pretty much basic instance drops (with a few higher level quest rewards mixed in). MOST players can semi-twink in a couple of weeks without spending much if any gold IF they have the proper resources and help from a friend.
You just have to be SMART and do YOUR research.
Heck, after my twink hunter every time I level a character I have a guildie run me through a few instances before I jump into BGs just get a hold of a few nice pieces of blue armor and I find myself out gearing 95% percent of my team.
