I began playing WoW way long ago. It's going to be about 7 years now since I began and I have ever since been addicted. I could say that if it weren't for one thing in WoW, I wouldn't still be playing this game today. That one thing was: level 19 twinks.
When I first started playing as a trial, I thought the idea of twinks was so cool. However stupid this may sound, I enjoyed getting bashed by other twinks, but found it incredibly fun to fight alongside other 19 twinks. Back then, 19 twinks actually meant something. You actually needed to due the complete impossible in order to be a truly BiS twink. Which included trying to gear up while avoided leveling past the level nineteen and getting the best enchants possible.
I would play the game solely on trials. I wasn't at the working age to purchase the actual game but I always imagined creating my own twink some day.
When I finally began paying for the game, it was early Wotlk and that was basically the downfall of twinks forever.
The creation of heirlooms made gearing up quick and took out the fun. Enchants were restricted as well which removed a lot of damage that a possible twink could do. And probably the greatest change: the fact that we now get experience while in a battleground forces a twink into an xp off battleground.
I never did make a 19 twink because it just lost everything that made me love it over the years. When F2p happened though, it helped me get half of what I wanted. The need to gear up to get BiS was there and the fact that we had to level our own professions to get our enchants was very appealing. I was very content overall and I find f2p to be amazingly fun, but I still feel like I want that experience that others had.
Now that I have given a brief background on my experience, I was hoping for some advice.
I'm currently paying to play so I haven't been playing my f2ps, but I was thinking on creating a p2p that I could create in the same way 19s were created. That is, gear him the best I can with no heirlooms provided, basic enchants, and try to get things as a lower level which wouldn't be immediately available.
But creating a P2P at level 20 with F2p restrictions makes no sense. I might as well make another f2p.
A 24 twink is just complete shit. I'd rather not become one of them.
So where would I land? I was thinking going half way.
I'm in the process of creating a level 22 twink rogue. I have access to all the heirlooms I would need, but I refuse to use them. Not only would it not grant the experience I want, but it wouldn't be fun to 3 shot things. Too boring.
By creating a 22 twink, I limit myself and but still create a fair match against the opposing team, while still greatly benefiting my team.
As a level 22 twink, I:
• Am able to be hit, seeing as being Hit capped gives you enough to hit things of at least level 23.
• Am not as overpowered with abilities because most abilities aren't granted till level 24.
• Do not use heirlooms, but will try to become as BiS as possible to increase my damage output.
What does everyone think about this? I please ask for everyone to not be so negative and at least helpful with positive input.
tl;dr
I'm creating a 22 twink to fulfill my superstar dreams of being a superstar twink. Watcha think?
