EU+US So is this worth it?

I would probably look at the higher level brackets where people will have all their slots filled out by default. People will also naturally be a tiny bit better. So overall game experience should be better at those stages. As for overall competitiveness, I wouldn't count on much.
I've only been spamming 19's, and a very few 70's games. However, since 19's has a longer history of competitive players, you will still find the few people that are still playing and get that 1-2 competitive game pr. day (if you're spam q'ing noon till evening), but it's rare and varies a lot. I haven't been playing much twinks overall this expansion yet, since endgame has taken quite a bit of my time.
 
It seems like people are feeling very negative about the recent turn of events for twinks and I don't mean to over step my bounds, but they are taking it out on a wonderful admin whose hard work has been the lifeblood of this website since she joined the team, all threw her willingness to give her free time to the community, yet I understand peoples frustration. However, @Selaya in this case is not interfering with things of an emotional nature, she is doing her job by being as unbiased as possible while trying to maintain and improve the very thing it seems like people are complaining about or at the least expressing their interest in (which I hope she will continue to do) - A lack of organization and things that make this community fun and stimulating (which was mostly sponsored by guilds and streamers, in other words the high levels of community competition) now that that is gone, I think people may be reflecting and thinking about how cool all those things we did were. I suppose from a perspective it must feel like blizzard has thrown our play style to the wolves and many of the things that where happening in previous times on behalf of hardworking community members, are no longer. This in itself is something I've touched on in previous posts. The set of circumstances that kept the bracket alive was not an incredible series of coincidence that just happened to turn into some pretty heavily organized brackets, many of the people in this thread made sure they where regularly (for many months) at a scheduled place, at a scheduled time, for a specific reason, and this in regards to more than just 19s. So that brings us back to Mvq's question which I think strikes at the heart of how this negativity with a side of productivity is coming from (not in in reference to the OP, where this sentiment is in reverse)
I miss Competitive WSG Pugs. Do they exist in the 20-29 bracket?
With Competitive Pugs, what I mean is games where you play against players who are Twinks, not levelers. People don't exploit / GY jump / Speedpot.

If they do, which region? I can play EU and US.

This is not only the question everyone posting or reading should be asking themselves, this is something they should make sure they are participating in it - as they have been, or have in the past - one way or another.

There is still twink work and events being done on behalf of the likes of Livingforce, Trailmop, Manny, The NWL Admins, and others. However I think we would be fooling ourselves to think it's just event organizers who make things happen, you need guilds/teams with interest in competition, and individuals to act on that guilds behalf -bottom line, without that there would be no glory days of Wrath, Cata, MoP, or WoD, or some of the highlights from times as early as Classic, and TBC.

tldr: I have no idea where you can find these things, but its about time some new community members step up to the plate, and it's likely some folks will at some point in the relatively near future, it really depends on how many people get bored on their mains, or come back to the scene, and when, endgame is pretty enticing at the moment tho, on top of this WoW subs are looking pretty healthy at the moment. i'll continue to do my best to help bring the top twink content to the table, aside from that I can continue to attempt to recruit/build a multibracket twink team and make sure that XPOFF provides a healthy environment for the initiative and interest in itself to grow and manifest inside & outside of the game.

Btw Andreas I hope you don't think of this post as a further derailment, I perceive all the comments on this thread including your OP to be heavily related to one another. (not that you are responsible for any controversial responses), or perhaps i'm just being jaded xD

so i be really out here in the 20-29 bracket and theres twinks every game, shoutout to @xpichealtime @paigexd @niz @farnk @rush for running the same 5 mans everyday and ruining ques again.. Really fun guys
 
- Competitive
- in the 20-29 bracket

- Twinks
- People don't exploit / GY jump / Speedpot.

You contradict yourself.

Playing as 24/29 against team of 70% 20s (most of the time) could not have been called competitive.
If you didn't exploit or speedpot/goblinglider 24-7 you would be considered filthy casual.

farnk not logged in nearly 1 month now for busy within irl and weak from sick and illness.

pls no credit farnk where farnk not deserve credit !
 
The solution is quite simple then, don't try to tell them what to do.

I predicted this many many months ago when the xplocked and unlock merge was announced. That is why I suggested a megaguild for everyone to join. That way we could premade either vs the levelers or vs each other. But my advice went unheeded.
Those two guilds are out there waiting. We have two "official" XPoff guilds. One for each faction.

When you wanna win a pug, the most effective way is to guide your team to victory. If you're gonna let a bad player decide whether you're gonna guide your team to victory or not then you're a pussy.
 
been coming and going since tbc, im not saying twinking hasn't been fun

Let's be real, the ability aspect of end-game hasn't been difficult since Wrath. It's all about Communication, Synergy, positioning and such. Just like at 19s.
 
yes because communication, synergy and positioning at 3k rating is equal to lvl 19s :)

Not sure what you're trying to say. That all lvl 19s have the same communication, synergy and positioning as a 3k rated end-game player? Ofc not, why would you even say that. That's an illogical point.
 
Thats a bad comparison, its more like eating salad and steak, because while there is a difference in mobility, the fundamentals Mvq mentioned still hold true
 
What is a "bad" player is in the eye of the beholder my friend.

By and large most people in WoW won't listen to strangers. Surely we all have witnessed this in game. They will shoot back and forth with personal insults. This site is a perfect example. It is just nature of the maturity of most(not all) gamers. Mind you, maturity does not equate to age.
On the other hand, people in guilds tend to be familiar with each other and thus will tend to listen to suggestions of their comrades.
I have been studying human nature for a long long time.
People are easily manipulated. When I see a particularly decent DPS I taunt them. I run circles around them. I /tickle them. I /kiss them. When they die I plant http://www.wowhead.com/item=38578/the-flag-of-ownership in their corpse. Why you ask? So they will focus on me and not other people. I will drag that DPS clear across the map away from their team or our FC. Sometimes two or three DPS will follow. Even better!

You say so much and say so little at the same time.
 
"It's all about Communication, Synergy, positioning and such. Just like at 19s."

like saying that eating shit is the same as eating a fat steak because you're basicly doing the same stuff. U can't compare the two, it's a different game.

The skill of eating a shit and the skill of eating a fat steak is pretty much the same, yeah.

It's not a different game, there's a reason that great 19 Twinks are great at end-game RBGs.
 
That only goes for a handful though, the majority of 110s would stomp the 19 bracket while the majority of 19s would be stuck at 1.5k at 110. There is competitive games at 19 if you set up games with and against people who are equally as good, but none of that comes even close to high end pvp at max lvl.

Ah now I know you have no clue what you're talking about. The multi rank 1 end-game 19 team got destroyed in skrims. Case closed.
 
Ah ok, case closed then. 19s are superior to 110 in every way pvp wise, skillful and competitive games have always and will always be a fact.

btw, you seem to have missed the fact that I said the majority and not all 110s would stomp the 19s bracket, not my fault the current top shots at the time were shit tier lul

Now you're just being an idiot about it. cba this convo
 
There where and are way more scrubs at endgame ratio wise than there were in the core of the 19s bracket throughout at least all of WoD (and probably any time post-segregation save for Legion). If I had a dollar for all the times a "19" schooled some high rated goon in arenas or RBGs (or played on their level) than i'd probably be able to buy another monitor, the whole endgame "holier-than-thou" shtick stopped being logical a few years ago.

Naturally...
Since practically all lowbies do is PvP. They should be well versed(skilled) in that climate versus their counterparts.

Take them out of their environment and they may not do so well.

Indeed, especially on flag based maps, I would go so far as to say that the overwhelming majority of top 19s in WoD practiced more often, longer, and harder than the top rated individuals in WoD.
