Could've done this better

Now that I think of it, there are multiple ways to nerf twinks but instead they decided to nuke it all together.
  1. Stat templates
  2. Nerf gems to +1
  3. Disable sockets
  4. Stat nerf to xp locked characters
  5. Free or easy to obtain gear for levelers
  6. Buff levelers who enter bgs like they do in dungeons
  7. Add level restrictions on tbc and wotlk gems just like cata+ gems.
  8. Actually do some balancing for low level items
But let's kill twinking so that levelers wearing a total of 5 items from the first few exile quests and have put no effort at all can instead get owned by people with enchanted heirlooms. :KKomrade:

I should get a job at blizzard already. Lead systems engineer sounds great.

They arent nerfing anyone. Everyone is just as powerful as they were a few days ago... a lot of that affects PvE.

Same fucking story every time with this stuff, unreal. It's permanent, it's not permanent, whatever. Deal, adapt, move on.

You sound jealous of my future job position. There can be only 1 lead systems engineer though

This.
Also, as @Chops said once "We are a bunch of weirdos" playing the game our way, and that alone should nullify the idea that they are patching things up with us in mind. They are just doing things that simply turn out to be either good or bad for twinks.
I find it hard to believe the change was made in order to hurt the 20's twinking scene in particular.

Blizzard doesn’t buff/nerf twinks. Generally, whatever happens to twinks is just a side effect of endgame changes.

There aren’t enough twinks to waste their time on, especially now.
 
you think you dont but you do

This is a good point, how many people were serious twinkers in peak Wrath? At one point way back when I speculated 3000 but it may be more like 300 unique people. Tough to say. This website membership might be a good indicator.

It does seem (personal opinion) like the more effort required to build a toon, the less casuals who would participate.
 
just US/EU or across the world?
also, what's a serious twinker, you gotta have agm/lfh for that, or what'd be the threshold for it

My guess is they want to kill ftp. We are just using their server slots and providing no income for blizzard.

Gems should of always been disabled in pvp up to the last 10 levels.

I disagree.

In the 20-29 bracket usually 1/3 or more of the players were ftp twinks. 20-29 was not a pleasant experience for levelers getting one shot by chaos bolts and aimed shots.

Its not pleasant for twinks either. They could easily fix it by looking at class power during leveling but it's none of their concerns. And since now it's clearly visible during df alpha which class gets most love from design team, no one should be suprised why its also strongest class to level
 
Just give levelers 30% more dmg and hp like they do in dungeons and there won't be a need to play around with queues at all.
