I had the pleasure of chatting with a pretty underrated twink today. I felt with WoD coming up and the change the bracket is going to be having this would be a nice little way to recap a little part of mop while also getting an inside look/opinion on the bracket from the PoV of someone who hasn't really been the center of attention or involved in much of the drama 19s have had during mop. [MENTION=14955]sakn[/MENTION]
Do you view yourself as a good twink?
Yeaah
Why did you choose the 15-19 bracket? Or what made you want to twink in it?
I have a vague memory of 'twinking' a 19 hunter in BC but for the most part it was because of a private server community I used to be a part of.
What was your first twink and why did you choose it?
Not counting the hunter I mentioned earlier, Rogue. I chose Rogue because i've always liked the class.
Do you feel you have changed in the twinking community to a point where you are a somewhat known name in twinks?
There was a period of time where I felt that most everyone who was queueing games knew of my rogue Purloiner and for the first couple of weeks or so on my hunter Sakn
Can you identify the changing moment in your twink career where you feel you became a more known figure in twink brackets?
Early MoP when I put in about 40 or 50 days of gameplay on my rogue Purloiner
Would you be able to tell me who you feel throughout mop demonstrated their dominance on x class and for what reason?
Rogue - Purloiner, Purloinersgf(<3) Jetlife, Barcody
Hunter - Agonist, Tellefella, Silkworm, Sakn
Paladine - Gbe
Warrior - Sqooshi
Mage - Vitalyzd, Fratstar
Warlock - Detour, Youredead
Druid - Yowza, Ishape, Mellunz
Priest - rip
Shaman - Daedricdeath, Barcodee, Nicozy
Monk - Curleyrollsu, Skeezin, Arudno
Death Knight - Jetlife
Why the name Purloiner and Sakn? What is the meaning behind both names.
Purloiner although often mistaken for a pokemon is an English word roughly translating to thief, I felt this was a suitable rogue name. As for my hunter, Sakn has been a name I've used throughout the years on forums that I believe was once randomly generated.
What is your opinion on why the bracket died?(MoP)
People getting older, new games coming out, veteran players leaving and bringing others with them.
Do you have high hopes for WoD?
Yes, any change for me is exciting.
Will you be queing scrims come wod?
Yeaah.
Your first appearance in organized games was in the twink cup - How did you feel about the whole event?
It was nice to be a part of, and to have been picked to fill the spot.
I noticed they switched you out after the first loss - Do you know why this was?
I was caught in a blame game of not being able to keep up with a worgen druid crossing mid + ranging heals during times where we were expected to be pushing when in reality the MW couldn't keep up with the push.
Do you feel you would have been a better candidate for rogue than hamgod?
Hamgod's performance fell under strong criticism from our team, he was just too used to playing aggressively instead of objectively and ended up being a burden to our team. That being said, yes, I do believe I could've offered more.
Who is in your opinion the most overrated twink?
Pizza and anyone who gets praise solely based on their gear (gloomshroud, tss, etc)
Do you have any twinks you look up to for tips/advice?
My biggest influences have been Daedricdeath, Leusha, Dirtyauction, Curley, Barbarous and Steven Hubbs
Thanks for the chat do you have anything you would like to say to wrap up this little Q/A or just state something that wasnt in any of the questions?
I'd just like to add that I don't think of myself as some great twink legend or anything, not quite sure why I was approached with this opportunity to be interviewed in the first place, but I am thankful nonetheless.
I also wanted to briefly thank all of the great people i've met during my time in twinks and I look forward to more great times come WoD.
This was a bit spur of the moment so if anyone has any questions/concerns ask, I'm pretty sure [MENTION=14955]sakn[/MENTION] will not mind answering.
