Sorry, my scheme to singlehandily tank 29s by... i dunno, actually, requires that i respond. Its dirty work, but someones gotta do it.
Is 20-29 (and retail in general) twinking dying?

Same thing happening with Wotlk 19s forums, a total of 8 threads when it supposed to be the most active forums. Honestly its sad to see, and I personally blame the current dogshit xpoff team with 0 motivation/commitment towards twinking in general besides creating bis armory lists. Come up with ideas instead of excuses.

How is this thread turning into a "its the 20s fault" and "its the mods fault" for 29s dying when everyone who knew anything could tell you (and did tell you) exactly what was going to happen?
If 29s want an active community, 29s can build it. Thats not my (or many mods) job.

Read my post again, compare it with the most active wotlk bracket? Also i'm not gonna speak about the 0 online members during night times, think before you respond to me.

Just... not the most aware person in the world, are you?

Prototypical twink living up to the stigma best he can. People dont understand how much this place is the minority.

it is an unabashedly *good* thing that the twinking population has mostly decentralized into various discord servers. Uncle Rico up there just doesnt like that shits changed.

are you angry at just about everyone at this point? chill dude
"20s are cry babies"
"29s are cry babies"

"Gotta blame somebody, certainly not my fault..."
Well, you finally got something right. Crybabies arent level-specific.
But anyone implying you are the "voice" of anything but unreason in your pot-stirring escapades on these forums is
...At least you give people a soapbox to shout their woes, is what it is.
edit- I dont dislike 20 at all or begrudge them their awesome content upgrades, it's great... but there should be a tradeoff to not paying a sub, and now that there is (a super tiny) one the amount of entitlement that's been spewing out since is just staggering.
I'm not angry, just honest.

if you are not angry, then what made you say this? like, when did our paths even cross?
he seems genuinely concerned about the future of the bracket, i am also genuinely concerned.
is the mod team genuinely concerned?

There was already one.
No trading, no mails, no AH, not being able to level above 20, 1000g goldcap.
Farming bis took months instead of hours, our bis was also worse than the bis a vet could get.

this is true.
a main reason i am playing 29 is because the restrictions at 20 drive me nuts.

Blizzard made the change to the bracket. People played 29s as a natural min/max method to getting the most out of the bracket. If you fault 29s, you probably should fault the developers who made the game change.
What you are seeing is what happens when any bracket experiences sudden game change. This typically happens when expansions drop. Most of the time, during the prepatch. Just ask those of us who were around for the 3.2 patch, what happened to twinking.
Just ask. Chops can probs tell u. Kirise. Hell, any active user who had a TI account and still has the same account here, can probs tell u. The mistake is putting too much value in twinking (or world of warcraft, because patch cycle). Those of us who have stuck around this long, or left and come back, have decided to avoid putting all this effort into this part of the game.
Ironically, no part of the game is worthwhile, long term. Not anymore.
Unsure there was ever an 'eternal' Wow experience to be had. Would be nice, but not likely to ever happen. That doesn't make as much $$. Prepatch is live this week (1st part of it, anyway) and will likely bring about a lot of changes that don't make our life any better. That's just a fact of expansion time. You're gonna have to relearn how to use a talent tree, gonna have to get used to new tuning (hoping they actually do some this time) and you might even have to rebuild every character you have.
