forget to turn your xp off?
10K honor kills. On a level 10.
I just don't get why you and others get so much enjoyment out of exploiting Behsten and Slahtz. Forget the questionable ethics of it for a moment. Knowing that almost everyone on your team and on the opposing team will be vastly undergeared compared to you, how is this fun?
I mean, it must be fun, because you're doing it. A lot. So help me understand -- you played a lot to get to 10K honor kills against players who didn't stand a chance against you. How was that fun?

You could always petition, you never know, you might get a nice GM who is having a good day. Or you could get dual stendels and stay 11, or you could go 14. =/ Sorry to hear about that though. If that happened to me, I would probably end up just going 24. I'm not a fan of the 19 bracket.
I realize your point of view, but I understand why people do it. It's the only way to get into games. I myself enjoy a few games every once and a while.
It appears that you have no g'fed gear. IMO - reroll. Keep this one and go to 14. . . Slowly
getting tons of hk's.Also, Bank and Turtle hit level 11 and still have tons of fun.
Damn. Many people are really out to get us 10s for this glitch. It's a shame that we can't have fun in a videogame. Sheesh. Meanwhile, you got twinks abusing the gem exploit on wrists.
10 k is nothing. Podie has 100 k.
My toon Ioerror has over 20k HK's. Did he exploit to get this? Oh wait he had 20 k b4 Cata came.
Alright, my first post must have come off as snarky if it got a response like that. Let's reframe the question to suit your particular situation, and correct me again if I get it wrong. You /afk'd out of countless games and earned over 10K kills with vastly superior gear. How is that fun? I'm serious -- I clearly don't get it, and you clearly enjoyed your time. Please, explain it to me.
If you had the kills before 10s got taken out of the 19 bracket (as IOerror suggested), then I'm an ass, and I owe you an apology for making assumptions. I'm looking for real insight here about XP-off players playing in XP-on games.
That's what I'm looking for -- the understanding. Why would you want to faceroll games like that?
I'd put the gem exploit on the same level, yes. Exploits aren't what my question is about.
21% crit from skinning, 143% lifeblood haste bonus, an extra 15% average health from the AGM (forget the 1000-point bubble for now), and that's before we get to bracers/gloves/belt/leggings/boots/rings? I respectfully disagree with your respectful disagreement.
Look, everyone, I'm not trying to troll here. I have a 10 myself. I think it would be awesome if 10s got regular XP-off games. Moreover, 10s are not the only ones who exploit the XP-off NPCs. But far more than any other bracket, 10s find ways to play in XP-on games, and I just don't see why you would bother. They sound like a tremendous bore. But they can't be that boring if so many players do it.
We may disagree as to the ethics of this exploit, but I'm coming from a genuine curiosity of why you all play XP-on games with your XP-off caliber twinks.
I meant to add that the BOA players often have enchanted gear as well - pretty much the same as the twinks. Just not "tweaked" twinks.21% crit from skinning, 143% lifeblood haste bonus, an extra 15% average health from the AGM (forget the 1000-point bubble for now), and that's before we get to bracers/gloves/belt/leggings/boots/rings? I respectfully disagree with your respectful disagreement.
The disparity in the old 10-19 wsg was much bigger than what we see here, yet it was "ok" to do pugs - which is pretty much the same as /afking . . . Or glitch queuing in any bracket now.
Depending upon class - some are much more difficult in xp on than others. I always play Xp on with my 10's once they hit level 10 - cause I need a battle standard (500 honor). More often than not I find myself geared in the top 3 on the team - rarely the #1 geared though.
twink it @ 14, use stendels, take advantage of kick. make a new 10 and play another class for fun!
Bwappo; what I was trying to say was that there were countless threads about the gems and there are countless threads about what you are saying. And it is quite possible to get the 10k while afking, I got about 3.5k before figuring out the exploit. 10s can do other things, we can PvE, do dailies, do quests for rep to get Ambassador, do RFC. It's not all about Battlegrounds on a 10. =/
Either you join the crew with the exploit or don't do it at all. You also have a 49 twink with 17k HKs, I'm not saying you used the exploit. But it's always possible. Or you could have done it from the fight nights that you schedule. It's the same thing with Caitie except for going in an exp on BG with exp on and not off. Never assume. =P

Two years ago, yes, most people twinked to grief other players. It's not two years ago anymore. I have no idea how you got "QQ" out of my followup post. If you're saying it's really fun to faceroll, alrighty then -- that's what I'm asking an explanation for. I don't get it, but I want to. Can you explain it?

Point taken on my erroneous assumptions -- you're right, I should never assume.
10s do have a lot of non-BG stuff they can do, as do twinks from many brackets. But BGs remain the main activity of a 10 (or any twink). Without BGs, no one would make a twink.
There aren't countless threads about what I'm asking about. I'm not trying to start yet another debate about exploiting -- that does indeed have a ton of threads. I'm asking what's fun about playing in XP-on battlegrounds as an XP-off player. I'm sure players have different reasons, and I'd like to hear lots of them.
Schmoo, if I may ask directly since you mentioned it (you say you got HKs in XP-on battlegrounds as an XP-off caliber twink), can you describe to me the fun part for you of playing like that? What brings you back there again and again?
A lot of people in this thread put a lot of time into this. I respect that time -- clearly you all have fun. Let's say you looked at my 10 and said, "Hey, Bwappo, that 10 looks ready for games, come join us!" And I said, "Alrighty, how are games?" What would you say to describe the XP-on games that you play that would interest others in doing the same thing?
I may not agree with the practice of getting in XP-on games, but I do believe in understanding fellow players. That's my purpose here. I'm not here to scold or be an ass, I do that enough in other threads.
I guess the best way to put it, in the context of the original post, is this: If your 10's life is over, what kind of a life was it? Why did you love your 10?
Are some of you really trying to debate semantics about what makes a twink and why you'd exploit?
Twinking is the act of min/maxing your character. That's what it was before, that's what it is now. You minimize unnecessary stats you don't want, and you maximize the stats you do want. People who aren't wearing BiS gear and maxing professions to peak their performance, aren't twinks. This includes those guys who show up in BGs with BoAs.
If your intention is to avoid leveling, then playing in XP on BGs in a manner which does not award XP gain, is exploiting. It doesn't really matter if you are using Besten and Slahtz to exploit or you are simply leaving BGs before objectives can be completed.
As for the 'why' behind it, there really is no pleasure to be had with owning players in the XP on BGs, outside of the cheap thrill of getting away with something you know isn't right. I'd imagine it's the same feeling that you'd get with doing 24s.
As for the OP, that sucks. Hope you figure something out.

fluffy no point in lying, you have 22 flag caps, which would level you... just come clean and say you did it
I exploited to get achievements, and I am not going to deny it (allthough like 4k was from b4 they added xp to bgs)
also ye either stay 11 or go 14, or reroll another 10, as other said, you didn't have gf-ed gear

No...I think you misunderstood me. I said I went in as a 10 twink with exp on...as in not using the exploit and just afked out. It's easy, just make sure your team doesn't cap. Trying to drag the game on as long as you possibly can, hence racking up your kills. Between the deserter debuff I would just play on my main, another 10 twink and do dailies. My 10 isn't my only character. Believe it or not, people can find something to occupy themselves for 15 minutes whether real life, another game or playing a different character.
I know you probably weren't trying to come off as an ass, but it is that way because you didn't even express sympathy to Caitie. You came in here to debate about the glitch and pretty much saying "Oh, it was just a 10. Get over it." I see you like twinks of all brackets judging by your signature. I don't come into, say, the 39 or 49 twink bracket and start bashing on your game nights.
