I have been on this forum for a few weeks and got some great feedback.
Cataclysm will begin the Golden Age of twinking again!
More classes, more gear choice, less focus on the almost 20 year old 19s bracket and the, what I find inaccessible, modern f2p scene*.
But I ran into some negativity about the Classic expansions I did not anticipate.
One post said -- expansions are like playing on private servers.
Many said -- too many brackets is bad for all brackets.
But it wasn't until today I realized what the real "classic hate" comes from.
One of the BIG trends in twinking is the "ladder lists" the ranking, the c==k measuring, the constant competitive need to create a hierarchy.
To do this you need an "Armory" -- a site which shows your gear and achievements and HKs, where ones gear and build can be linked, then adored or ridiculed.
Classic expansions don't have "armories" that I can find.
The old 19s and f2p people seem to need this recognition, this competition, this hierarchy.
This is why they don't like Classic expansions.
But while they are reading the "rankings" and working on that 17th AGM or tending the garden in their little house, or farming old raids in their cure little outfits, I will be pwning noobs in the 14 and 29 brackets.
Thanks! Good night and good luck.
*Retail is so different from the last time I played, I would not even know where to begin, and from what little I have read about the modern f2p scene , there are WAY too many moving parts to be fun for me.
