It's a rhetorical question of course.
After spending 4 years in twinking brackets, 39 in BC, 70 until now in Cata, I'd had enough of this bracket for my most PVP'd character an undead priest. 66k honor kills, the Conqueror title and I'd had enough of this bracket. Even my "main" had 10k fewer HK's.
He's now just another 85 striving for full Cata gear grinding out 1650 a week, running LFR and pugging rated BG's.
I've been contemplating whether or not to even make a thread about this but really think the community would be interested in why someone who invested 4+ years into a character that would "never level" leveled.
Frankly, I got very tired of the ridiculous burst, the OP heals that made many healers unkillable in random BG's, the completely mismatched games (Horde wins huge Horde loses huge.), the players that show up in what they were leveling with, ungemmed, unenchanted Brutal etc. In short; it continued to become more of the exact same player issues that exist at 85. However you don't get 3 shot with a bubble up at 85 by 3 rogues with Warglaives even though you properly geared.
This isn't a look at me, you'll miss me won't you message. I still have 3 70's, none of which I've touched in months. It's just a general statement that I believe that interest in this bracket is seriously waning. My Alliance guild has 20-30 70 twinks, I led Sunwell/BT raids weekly for 6+ months on my server and geared more 70's than I can count. I looked at guild activity, with one exception (My rogue who gets to do Darkmoon dailies one week a month.) they haven't logged in in a month or more.
Priesting was one of my favorite pastimes. Priesting at 70 became ugh, really? Do I really want to win big or lose big and never be able to make a difference?
I think that's what I really have grown to dislike about 70's. One player can rarely make or break a game. At 39's the 2-3 "real" twinks could carry 15 people, even when GASP we had to walk around Arathi Basin. When Cata came up my old 70 became very fun to play again and could make a difference. Not so anymore, not in my opinion.
Now that I'm an 85 healer I can tilt the balance in a match, I can almost single handedly lock down a node with a DPS or two, I can make a FC almost unkillable, I can make assaulting a territory in Tol Barad a suicide mission. All of these things ceased to be possible for 70's.
Please, spare me the you should have done cross realm pre-mades, rated BG's, transfer to my server we're a full twink guild responses. That's not meant to be disrespectful to a group of dedicated players that read these forums. It's just me saying if I couldn't enjoy twinking in PUG random BG ques I'm not interested anymore.
I really do fear for the simplification of talents, stats etc in MOP. My 70 rogue, who absolutely, 100% never in a million years, will ever level due to legendaries is likely to become the equivalent of a bank alt or a look at me museum piece like T3 geared 60's.
Oh well, end of rant. No one will really miss one less 70 priest anyways.
