The title is not sarcasm, I'm curious how different people approach the game from a F2P and Vet perspective; how do you choose to use the existing game mechanics, what mechanics do you ignore, do you make up your own rules or play within the system? The more I've experienced other MMOs, the more it seems like the Twink experience in WoW is something rare. In a game designed to level and go raiding, etc, those at level 20 are playing within a mass of systems not designed for them, but which often end up having interesting effects in just how far that experience can be pushed. F2P at 20 is one matter, but to stay at 20 as a vet is something intentional. From the ground up, the game simply was not designed for this kind of playstyle, though modern systems designed for leveling have helped on this front. I notice this most when I play other games where there is no system to lock your level, because if there was, the game would feel completely different, and many of the extra systems that often creep in at endgame would not apply. All in all, I've found that Twinking is practically a separate game, and one I prefer.
I've mained a DH twink for several years now because of one feature, vertical mobility. I parkour across spans and make a game of not touching the ground. If that sounds childish, perhaps it is, but it's no less enjoyable.
Something else I do on occasion is begin the Draenor campaign on an alt and reach the gunpowder quest so I'm able to draw along the ground. With some time and patience, you're able to draw quite a bit with the line of gunpowder.
If not that, I often roelplay walk or simply explore regions I rarely visit. A quirk of my gameplay is that I've never enjoyed questing, rarely enjoyed raids or PVP, and prefer the occasional dungeon (Despite much of the game catering to those.)
This leaves me wondering how many others do similar things to myself, or have found their own niche ways of having fun in-game?
