Twinkers, no skill?

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.
I met a boy once.
He saw a football game and thought it looked fun. So he wandered around, rooted through garbage cans, and did odd jobs for random people. He found some shoes in one of the garbage cans and got a baseball cap for one of the odd jobs.
He jogged around the block a few times, but he never really worked out or trained.
He joined the football game, got totally crushed, and his parents cried at his funeral.
Being prepared is the number one factor in any sort of long term success. Being unprepared is a recipe for disaster.
The person that had been digging in trash for equipment would never be playing against good football players. In your analogy, a twink would be similar to someone who has trained for years for NFL playing in high school football, instead of the NFL like they are supposed to. Its an unfair advantage, high schoolers can't train that much and still be in high school (i.e. get that good of gear and still be level 19 without avoiding experience on purpose)

Ryan0316, You said that Twinks are a bracket of thmeselves, so how do you think the normal players feel when entering a BG?
goshadstep2lose, you almost made me laugh imbecile, maybe the game is about outgearing other players for some, that's alright but I said in my main post that twinkers got no skill, because outgearing is not a skill/feat, and you twinkers show no skill when "roflstomping" the normal players in BGs, because you are outgearing them.
Sanity, I see no reason not to create a twinker and have a fair fight, but remember not everyone out there has a high level player that can gear em' up, and run instances
with
for them.
Sosaye, welcome to society, nice to meet you too.
go create a ret char.
Oh yeah, the point is not about the lamer of twinkers getting owned by other twinkers, you all have no skill whatsoever.
ramijob, I believe it is true, but the gap is much bigger mostly because of the gear, not all of lowbies are fresh new players some are expirienced ones with many high leveled players too.
Poremm, I'm sure it is tough for you to understand, but BGs are part of the game, it is my right to participate and enjoy them.
Shirash, I disagree with you, A player at high level knows more about the game, and the gear diffrence at that level isn't that big of an issue, plus at high levels you can't gear yourself with the other chars you own, simply because this IS your high-leveld character.
proof is that the better geared players on end-game levels doesnt have a special name for the phenomenon, but low leveled brackets do.
Quest, that's nice, very nice.
Im sure you got many ret chars.
ahm, Gear=skill?
Sleep on it.
funny guy.
Mexloh, rework your strategies, but the need to create a twink is already there, you got no skill.
Zaputo, as I said previously...
1. not everyone can create a twink to see "how much fun they can be".
2. What if, for instance, someone wants to expirience PvP before level 50, what will you suggest then?
Gukhwa, "
Being prepared is the number one factor in any sort of long term success. Being unprepared is a recipe for disaster.
"
that's loads of crap, you are probably a twinker, sure you dont get owned like normal players, and therfor your perspective over BGs is different, but dont make up stories, the only reason you twinkers win is because of the gear difference.
childofnewlight, im not the one who said 1000G I really don't know exactly how much it costs.
and again, people want to expirience BGs at those levels, who are you to stop them from enjoying the PvP system at low levels?
Zaputo, the part I would like to comment about is the part you said that twinks have more fun then non-twinks who spends most of their time at the graveyard.
A suggestion: If it weren't for those twinkers, the graveyard weren't such an autostrada, the game could have been much more fun for everyone, instead of just for the twinkers.

OK.
after talking to my brother and reading Shirash comment I came to the conclusion its Twinkers right to do it, and indeed I never got owned by twinkers in a 1v1 just predicted the outcome of such situation after seeing such player in BGs (dmg/HP etc..).
Im sorry if I offended someone...except for some ret, I still suggest them to create a ret char.
Anyway, Ill hope i'll run into a twinker 1v1 one time when I got about the same gear, to see what they are really worth.

Fed up of this discussion. Why did i make a twink? Simple
- Incompetent players at max level more interested in farming honor per hour and marks for their welfare set then having fun. 'Let them win, i want my 1 mark' and ''ffs rush north'' type players.
- Xrealm battlegrounds destroying any form of community, at x9 you play with and against the same people regularly and forge a community. Its the closest thing you will ever get to pre 1.11 PvP.
- No need to upgrade gear every season, once you've got your dodge/ap/stamina/whatever sets your done and thats that.
- Fed up of class imbalance at max level, at x9 anyone can beat anyone played right. None of this anti class crap you get at max lvl.
Yes there are the failure twinks with budget gear and have pwntjoolol/backstabzz type names but there are plenty of morons at max level too.

Try to kill full S4 char (or at least full S2 to make it easier for you) when you are geared in greens. Wont happen, huh? But do they have skill? hm... Twinks dont "need" skill to kill poor geared chars, that is true. However, it doesnt mean that twinks dont have skill at all =P

I know, I already said you guys are probably right.
I yield!
I want a twink too, no fun in BGs for me.
