Gifting Gear and Gold

Drayner said:
Hello Twinks

Some of you may know me, some may not. Either way... Hello.
I am here today to offer up some items and gold.

I was gonna type a wall of text but decided not to....

Long Queue times, the overall quality of the games, the 15 minute timer, the toxic attitudes I have witnessed here on TI and in games(mostly 19 games), and some really shady shit I have learned recently (ddosing, botting in BGs, etc) has me pretty deflated about twinking. I have to admit, the 39 Revival thing has me bummed out too... Instead of helping, members are attacking people for trying to help drum up activity... oh boy.

I'll just say that I have quit and come back a ton of times. While this time I am not really quitting WOW, I do want to give back to the deserving members of the twink community and I don't need the gold on servers other than the one my main is on.

In the last month, I have unloaded a ton of my twink item reserves already... both making 6 different new 19 twinks and selling items on the AH. For instance, I have over 500k on Bleeding Hollow selling items over the last couple of weeks. I plan to give the rest of the items and gold away.

What is up for grabs?

I have much more than I am posting, but here are the key items I am giving away this time around.

- 500k on BH (90k Horde and the rest of Alliance) -- 50K is reserved for DesH
- 2x Green Lens of Stamina and 1x Green Lens of the Tiger -- 1 Stam lens is reserved for exact since he was gonna buy one anyhow.
- Walking Boots (can't remember what server they are on though)
- 200k on Dragonmaw Horde
- Caverndeep Trudgers on Dragonmaw Alliance
- Gloomshroud x2 on Dragonmaw Horde
- Gloomshroud x1 on AP
- Green Lens of the Eagle on Misha Alliance
- Brawler's Harness on A52 and Tich
- 20-50k on various servers (mention what server you want gold on and if I have it there, maybe you'll get some.
- If you are looking for items that are not uber rare (mostly 19 stuff) post what you want and on what server... I might have something there. My main account has no free character slots and I have crap laying around everywhere.


If you are interested in Gold or Items, post here with a wall of text about you and your twinking adventures.

Also, make sure to add your toon's name and server. I don't plan on announcing winners here and going through having to find you... I will just mail items to people I decided to give stuff to.

Only members with Twinkinfo.com accounts created before April 1st, 2015 are eligible.

Get your posts in before May 1st, 2015.

I will take whatever you give me - and as the rest of my thousands of gold does - it will all go to funding Twinks in and outside of my 19s guild.



I'm pretty sure you already know the deal, but all of my WoW time and resources go towards furthering the 19s twink community, I regularly give gold and enchants out to random twinks outside of my guild and I do a great deal of funding inside my guild, which is the largest and most active twink guild, my personal ambitions that i've been working with other bracket leaders and various key individuals is to help gear the entire bracket and bring as many 19s in as possible, I also work with pretty much all the guild leaders to ensure a consitent flow of war games on the weekend and PuGs during the week (too varying extents). I've revived the the 19s bracket twice now according to some but in my eyes the 19s revival won't be over until we see pops like we did in TBC, my guild is not even two months old and we have 170 individual 19 players, and PG is bringing at LEAST two teams to the twinkcup. Some have called my goals unrealistic but my success it due to my belief that under the right circumstances - anything is possible - It's up to those with initiative to create circumstances that allow for growth to occur

Enough gold, rare items, man power, recruiting, and networking and anything is possible for this community.

Catch me on Conq#1458 if you fancy

I don't know if your leaving Twinks or what man but thank you for all you've done for this community, I wouldn't be able to do what I do now if you hadn't done what you did back then.

Hey there Drayner.

Sorry to see such a good bloke hang his hat up and call it a day. You've been apart of this site since day 1 and it's honestly cool that you come and hang out on here this many years on. I lurked for a long time on here until I started posting, so max respect for still even being around.

Playing the bracket from age 12, now 20, seeing the bracket in a state where 19s pop for 10 hours a day is pretty rough for me. I now dedicate my play time to encouraging Oceanic players to play the bracket by funding them close to BIS twinks so they can queue up and try the bracket out in it's refurbished competitive form, a game and style in which no other bracket gives the opportunity other than high end rbg's at max. The reason I chose to attempt reviving Oceanic is not because I myself am from Australia, but because the queuing schedule is based upon an American schedule, which for me is 6am-4pm, hours that I work. Getting people from this side of the world to start queuing is a logical and feasible solution to these queue times as the average play time for most Australians is 3pm-2am, the late night/early hours for the US. Achieving this will ultimately result in a game with around the clock pops for 19s - it just needs the boot in the bum to get it there. The drive I have for helping the bracket is neverending. While I hope my guild stands for a great length of time, as long as I can push towards that end goal and even help in the slightest to increase activity and decrease queue times, then I will always be winning.

Good luck in whatever you pursue, Drayner.

Hello there! First of all, what a great initiative! But sad to see you leave the twinking community :(

I'm Snack and I've been around TI for years. I started twinking back in vanilla on Bladefist EU where me and a couple of friends from school had a blast gearing our twinks up and doing BG's. Of course we had no idea what we were doing gear-wise cause it was all so new, but that was the real funny part: when you discovered a new piece of gear your mates didn't know of and they were all 'Damn dude, nice find!' And we all rushed there to get it.
I played on Bladefist until late wrath and had numerous twinks when Cata hit. After that I took a break from WoW for about half a year. When I came back I rerolled on Stormreaver, but quickly moved to Draenor, which you might know to be the biggest twink hub in EU. Since that day I have played there, in many different brackets; 1, 10, 19, 20, 24, 29, 80 and still am. I were a member of Carebears and today of Better Luck Next Time. I met alot of friendly twinks, of which many I still to this day play and chat with.

Apart from Draenor I also have a couple f2p twinks on Twisting Nether Alliance and Aggramar horde, where I am a part of the great communities surrounding the f2p(/vet) bracket.

I have also played a lot of 24 (now 29) on Ravencrest with the guild Gurubashi Surf Club. I mostly did premades though, since I enjoyed playing my f2p's more than my p2p's.

I recently moved to US servers to seek activity in the 19's bracket. Here I am playing on the server Stormrage with a couple of friends, and we are really enjoying it so far! I am about to make a rogue on the server Aerie Peak where many of the US f2p's play. I am really looking forward to joining the US f2p's; both to see how it is compared to the EU players, but also to make new acquaintances. I havn't made the twink yet cause I like to have all my gear planned out before I actually create the character, and the Gloomshroud that you got on Aerie Peak, would fit my rogue perfectly!

Also I am making a horde twink (possibly shaman) on BH horde, to help make pops happen, and do my best to even out any faction imbalance that might occur. But I am having a hard time funding my twinks, since rerolling on a whole new server, in a whole new continent, without any friends with mains/contacts able to help is tough. But also an experience that I have enjoyed so far! So any amount of gold on BH horde would be greatly appreciated!

I hope you find the right guy to gift your impressive stock of gear/gold to! Cheers

hey hey, what's your us battle tag? I'd be glad to befriend you, mine's playdope#1575 :)

as for this goes, I don't see myself winning, but if whatever, just wondering if you got anything on Mok'Nathal or Eldre'Thalas. I don't play p2p, only to help my f2ps, and maybe one day go vet to get some gf'd stuff from salvage crate drops on the AH.
I started wow as young boy in about 4th or 5th grade, I believe it was mid wrath. I was complete noob. I only started twinking because over time I never wanted to pay, as well as the fact that there's few gear updating needed to be done, unlike end game. Loved the challenge. Was still a noob, of course, but until about 2 years ago is when I actually started understanding things. After I stopped playing the fotm hunter (at the time in end cata/start-of-mop) I decided to do hpal and, later on, a druid. loved FCing, loved old fc videos like painaid's and a few more, just got me so pumped and ready to learn more. I've been usually fcing ever since, taking little breaks from wow ever so often. just got to high school and quite busy, but wow is a still a part of my life. any who, that's my story. maybe some one (Drayner) will find it interesting, but maybe not too enthusiastic. duces from the twinking community (for how ever long of a break you take) and good luck irl. also thanks for making this somewhat reliable forum :p it's been through a lot :)

edit: good luck reading all these walls of text my dude, hope it was worth it to you :)
 
Hello there Drayner.

I'm not playing US so i'm not posing this to get gear or gold. Really good job man, if there only where more people like you on TI...

Done. I will give you the boots in the coming days. Perhaps you can give your co-leader some gold to help pay for the pair he bought from me a few months ago as a good will gesture. :) They are on Ally side. I will give them to you over there and let you get them over to horde.
 
PS. I will get back to others soon. I've given away 200k on BH already... There are some more gifts to be given soon. I am at work today and have a busy schedule this weekend.
 
Let's see how far back I can remember into my foggy wow history.

My first twink was on Arathor, a scrub male night elf named kekurded (or some variation). I entered my first wsg after finding my pvp npc in Darnassas only to be quickly dispatch by a rogue named bunnywabbit with glowing weapons. I was hooked, decided leveling wasn't and began my quest for glowing weapons. I spent the last prepatch honing cutting my teeth solo queing the gulch. I was pretty bad still.

Once the ruin migration hit I decided to server hop to warsong. I still didn't really know anyone, warsong seemed the logical choice. I faction changed to a female rogue named juicy. I played on warsong for a few months with camo the mage, and a hunter named like luda or something. Back then warsong was the server for brazilians, needless to say it was awful. I ended up xferring to Korgath to play with Diesel, Riv, Bobbo and the other revo guys. Once I started playing with them I started to become a competitive rogue. I played there until the end of wrath when a lot of players left the bracket.

After revo died I server hopped for a while, queing solo as subvader. Did quite a bit of work in pugs, but the quality of games/activity was getting pretty low, so I leveled to 20 where I've been ever since.
I also made rogues on ap (movements/movementz). I've been fairly active in the 20 bracket since mid cata. I'm currently playing vet rogues on bleeding hollow (murderjunky), aerie peak (movementz) and thrall (toomuchsweg). I've had a blast queing with chill group bsing in skype.

p.s. drayner lready hooked me up with a gloomshroud, just wanted to let everyone know he's for real.

Hey Dray,

I tend to ramble so ill try to keep this short.

Was young when I started twinking, huge idiot that knew nothing. My brother was a raider in the famous US raiding guild <Blood Legion> during BC and was so excited that I wanted to even play WoW that he fully funded my rogue, and my subsequent priest. I was an airhead, got in a few games and had no idea what I was doing, quit "twinking" and forgot all about it.

Started my own raiding career and played till late Wotlk, quit for all of Cata, and came back early MoP. Started up a full time raiding schedule again and found out that some old friends of mine were really into this thing they called f2p twinking. I had no fucking idea what that was, only bracket I thought existed was the 19 bracket, and so I made a f2p priest. Poured hours into the priest, got fairly geared and had some fun, but never had the time to really devote. The grinds for gear took too long with my limited non raiding game time, so I swapped over to playing a 24. There I met this funny guy named Somfas and his friend Brain.

I played hundreds of games with those guys, and the day I got exalted with the Defilers with them was the best day in my twinking career.

Quit my raiding team after claiming a r1 parse in Highmaul, and the bits of time I have these days go to playing my 19 druid, waiting for the day feral plays like it did in MoP. Since it won't look like that will happen any time soon I swapped over to resto to play games, not be a scum feral and learn the art of the flag carrier.

When I saw bigmorans post about a 39 revival, I took it upon myself to make a Horde rdruid to play in the games. Sadly they ended up pretty uncoordinated (not morans fault at all, was very good of him to ignite what activity he could) and so I dropped off funding my 39.

So there is my wall of text, and what I'm asking for is a Green Lens of Stam for my 39 druid. Even if this revival flops (que up this friday), I hope to get in some games over the summer and fc for the horde teams as well as I can. I also met some interesting people in the bracket that have inspired me to decide to keep gearing and to ask you for the lens.

Sad to see you go even if it is brief and wish you all the best,

Mamytwink is building a team of french twinks for the Twink Cup, he's 4 players short. Might be a nice trans-atlantic funding opportunity there?

So hey i'm Dradform aka Conjurance of the 19 bracket, been twinking since vanilla have twinked in many brackets including 19s, 29s, 39s, 70s, ive been in numerous amounts of guilds over the years, and i've premaded for a lot of them as well, i consider myself an above average player, and i've helped out as many twinks as i can, back in wrath i used to farm gold for 3-4 hours a day to fund other people in guilds that i have been in that i could. I've ran people through numerous dungeons, i also made a jump video to teach people of the 20-24 now the 20-29 people the jumps of warsong gulch after getting many requests to do so, my main twink classes were warrior, hunter, and druid, i've always considered myself a follower, not a leader personally. I've taken breaks over the years and would come back just like drayner himself, and this game is truly an addiction.

To name the guilds i can remember being in and what server they were on here i go: Ctrl Alt Del/Khaz Modan, The Silverwing Guard/Spirestone, Dead on Arrival/Elune, Dynasty/Elune, Revolution/Shattered Hand/Be Savage No Excuses/Zul'jin, Bloodlust Represent/Durotan, Giddyup Painaid/Bloodhoof, Kevin Bacon/Bleeding Hollow, Made in China/Azagalor/Cenarius, Laughing Skull FTW/Laughing Skull, Use Splash Attack/.Elune,. Lethal Synergy/Elune, Doughboyz/Bleeding Hollow, Warsong Warlords/Bleeding Hollow, Horde Invasion/Anub'arak, (all 19 guilds), Horde Invasion/Anub'arak, Sanctuary/Alexstrasza, Sua Sponte/Lightbringer, Skill Ratio/Bleeding Hollow, TOTAL ANNIHILATION/Wyrmrest Accord, Departure Lounge/Dragonmaw, Show Me Them Crits/Aerie Peak, Nagaz With Attitudez/Bleeding Hollow, Only For My Nagas/Bleeding Hollow, AP Twinks/Aerie Peak, (20-29 guilds), The Beegeez/Aerie Peak, Reminisce/Aerie Peak, (39 guilds), Core Hound Reignites, (70 guild)

I'd also like to thank Drayner for also being a good friend to me, you given me stuff over the years, and have helped me out with numerous things including building Twinkinfo.com which is a huge help to everyone, Thanks.


I would like some gold on Bleeding hollow, toons name is Dradform

I've had a few people ask me why I am doing this...

It's more about giving back than anything. Yes, I have been frustrated with the overall state of twinking as a whole, but this isn't just that. Anyone that has had me in their guild knows that I've donated LOTS OF ITEMS and GOLD to their guilds... Either when I leave or while still active.

One thing that most do not know is that I am former military and because I know all about the lifestyle, I give to various charities. Cell Phones for Soldiers and Wounded Warrior Project to name a few. When I got out of the mobile industry, I donated 30+ smartphones to Cell Phones for Soldiers.

Anyhow. I watched a couple videos that pulled at my heartstrings yesterday morning and it prompted me to want to give. I considered donating a chunk to the Twink Cup, but I thought about it and decided that I didn't want my money going to cheater (if cheaters win) so I decided to give virtual goods away to twinks I feel like gifting to.

It's just that mostly.

I am not quitting the game. I plan to play my 100s a little and maybe an occasional 29 game.

Drayner, We go quite a ways back. I've twinked since vanilla originally at 29s in the Vengeance BG with you. Along with yourself and Ink we moved over and were the beginning content creators at your other site. I was also the one to bring Yoube on and look where he's gone with it since! We may have had our run ins since, but I have funded hundreds of twinks over the years in the background and continue to do so in different brackets. Anything you'd like to give me would help the cause. Thank you.

Hey Drayner,

We've known each other for some time and we used to have fun queuing 19s together!

I've been twinking since 2009 when I started in the 19 bracket. It's my favourite and the bracket that I always go back to. I've also spent time playing 10s, 24s, 29s, 39s and 70s. I've recently made a lvl 20 as well. My favourite class to play is priest! I've met some amazing people and made some good friends during my time twinking.

Since you are being so generous and donating items/gold to members of the twink community, I thought I would post. I could use gold on Elune or Bleeding Hollow (Kekkipop on either server). My sub is ending soon, so enough gold on any server to purchase a game time token would be awesome.

Anyway, keep in touch and maybe we can play together in the 20-29 bracket sometime! :)
