Beating Gemmers

yea that's why i said this
Yeah, I just had my gems stripped off of my Shaman and ate a 48 hour suspension.
People see an elemental shaman being half decent and immediately get butt hurt over it...
I like how it's ok for the bracket to see 5 shadow priests and 7 resto druids each game, but 1 gemmed out ele shaman is completely taboo.
The twink philosophy has just become frail is all.
It use to be " Oh shit, that twink just beat my ass. I gotta get on his level."
Now it's " Oh shit, that twink just beat my ass. I gotta contact Blizz and get him down to my level."
The majority of the 20-24 bracket plays as level 20... the minimum level...
A complete mind screw concept of the highest order nothing short of a phenomenon which is impossible to wrap my head around.

Ahh peoples reports have finally done something ^-^ Now time to wait for all the others to come on here QQ'ing about not having their edge anymore. Here's to hoping you aren't the only one atleast baren
Actually a whole lotta folks got their gems stripped last month including me.
This is my second time so... pretty sure i can just go get my "edge" back.
I kinda wanna keep doing it just to see if Blizzard ever fixes the whole "Requires Blacksmithing (1)" thing.
Such a simple solution...
And Lil, don't you EVER give out my font, color and size AGAIN!

I'm shocked at this. Usually they just tack on "requires level 60" or something to the item (in this case gems) and then that's that. Back in the day when this kind of thing was more prevalent, I never received a ban or suspension. And there used to be some insane exploits...
For instance, there was a crazy leg kit exploit for twinks involving the leg kits like 55 stam and 22 agi or w.e (it's been a while). You got on your level 80 with the pair of green boe pants you wanted for your twink toon. You would put the leg kit on the pants and the pants would bind to you. But you could then unbind them and send to your twink! You would basically kill yourself over and over until the boe pants became zero durability. Then you log off and back on, and the pants are now BOE once again and the enchant "seems" to be missing. So you mail these pants to your twink right. You then grab them from the mail and they are broken and "appear" to not have the leg kit enchant. Before equipping them, you repair ALL. Then you log off and back on and the leg kit enchant re-appears on your pants and voila. Sounds crazy I know but this worked flawlessly.
I don't ever remember even knowing someone getting banned or suspended doing batshit crazy things like this (including myself). Blizzard never really slapped anyone on the wrist when it came to twink exploits. It would seem their attitude has changed if they are indeed handing out 48 hr suspensions for this new gemming fad.

Dem leg armors. noone did anything to hide it at all and i cant remember anyone ever being banned for doing so. seems silly that they're banning people for gemming now.
Simply because he/she does not have a lot of posts does not necessarily mean they are a random. It just means that when they post their posts are that much important since they don't produce as many meaningless ones as the large count posters. Or they could be like me and have an old alias from the old twinkinfo site, who knows. Speak softly and carry a big stick is my motto.
Back to subject at hand. This bracket will never be like other brackets, it a weird duck. No other bracket has players capped at the lower end. The majority of the players choose to play at a disadvantage and expect the minority to play with their said restrictions. When they do not the have nots get all bent out of shape about it. I understand that it can be frustrating but people really should just relax and move on to the next game. No real reason to have your blood pressure sky rocket over a game and then come post all this acidic talk. On to gems, I personally do not gem on my 20&24's. If someone gems, that's their business. But then again I am not a tattletale. I don't armory people, inspect them, etc. It is just not my style. Now some people have made it a crusade, a quest if you will, of theirs' to rid the bracket of gems. Good for them. While they are writing their tickets to Blizzard they should also mention all of the exploits in this thread as well. As a matter of fact I just used one today to get away from a bevy of protection warriors, the Horde fence jump.
Sweetsydney...
Post count has nothing to do with it.
Buddy just told me the gems no longer appear to be working. FYI
f2p - 24 community sucks, too many children leeching because their parents stopped paying - anyway -
I think many can agree that the word "twink" means striving to get the best gear possible, and to have every advantage etc.
Anyone remember the durability exploit back in Wrath? nobody gave a cats toe about it, in my opinion exploits should be abused, they are fun, I think personally the f2p community should stop crying all over this gemming business, they're not even paying for this game anyway.

In my opinion, you should be glad it's World of Warcraft. In other mmorpgs that I've played, you could get permabanned for abusing a glitch enough.
I'm glad they are taking a more headstrong approach. The way they did it before obviously wasn't producing good results since you're happy about it.
By the way, if it brings you any comfort. I haven't paid for WoW subscription fee. Even once. I'm poor, I know.
Your answer sir.
The Blacksmithing socket exploit required the blacksmith to click trade at 95% socket cast. No different than the mailbox exploit or the guild bank exploits that also allowed access to things not normally available in order to gain an advantage over other players not willing to risk their account. That is exploiting lag within the game. It is a direct violation of the Terms of Use, section C, subsection (i). As such it can result in actions taken on an account including temporary and permanent bans. So, "suddenly" has nothing to do with it. It has been bad all along.
Additionally, you can speak for yourself, it is your right. Allow me and others the courtesy to speak for ourselves about what twinking is all about to us.
See you in the gulch!
