Hi all,
Hope everyone is well, I just wanted to give my opinion about how we all treat each other and how it affects us. As most of you know, I am new to the twinking world, only about 2.5 months ago I started a hunter that I had been hoping to make for a couple months, and I had never played the class before.
So without a main (just returning to the game) I rolled my new hunter, got the best gear I could find, and did hundreds of mining/fishing trips through the barrens pools to pay for my enchants, and even got my fishing hat and Arena trinket with the help of my friends Ego, Orgasm, and Shank, who all twinked on my server and helped me.
So I did my best to learn to kite, the wsg jumps (which i still fail at but im trying) and when I entered a game on my terribad battlegroup, people knew Thew was there as I would run flag if I had to, was high on the kills charts, and fought hard and took each game to heart. I am not the best, but I try to be.
So my bg has slowed down, and I thought I really want to try premading and move to ruin. So I spent some time on the forums here and on wow, trying to get good advice on how i could improve my gear to be a better player...this was a mistake.
Instead of receving replies on how i could get a bit more int or improve my hit rating, I recieved public and private tells such as lolhunter, play a class that actually matters, you suck at arena (after I did my first night of trying arena I had 3 people go on forums touting that they beat me? im new i suck thats ok with me?) and just in general not being very cool.
Prior to going to the forums I was having a total blast on my hunter and when i entered games people were always exited to see me as I played as a team and really tried hard. I loved playing him, but after all this I actually got so frustrated that I deleted Thew and decided to roll a (lol) pally.
Then after a day of clarity I realized how dumb this all was, put in a ticket, had Thew restored, and rerolled him Draenei on Ruin. Now I am having a blast again, will stay off the wow forums (what a hateful, mean spirited place) and just have fun, I am almost to Ambassador woot!
So the TLDR is this, our twink community is already small, and bliz keeps doing things to make it harder for us to get games. When new people come in, we should welcome them, and help them along, not critisize them and put them down when they are trying to improve.
I learned from this that even though we all judge each other on gear, and we all want ours to be perfect, we need to support each other and help one another along, there are only so many of us. I will recall this next time I get frustrated and want to spam emote someone who upsets me, or when a young twink comes to the forums asking for help.
Peace, thanks for letting me vent.
