I didn't honestly believe it was you (fanboys, fake accounts, etc etc) but from your reply and someone mentioning you said something on steam I guess I should address your points. I'm on my phone atm due to computer being broken atm..
1. Don't you both get hundreds of thousands of gold just by going into SW? I think you would have enough to twink in every bracket on each faction haha
2. I haven't played 39s but what you say is alot of what I hear about it. Few more spells, slightly better balanced and more gear options. Definitely better people to ask about that bracket.
3. I think the reasoning is honestly different for each person. You'll find alot of people who are bad at endgame and twink to feel good. You'll find alot of people who don't want to level to endgame so they stop sooner to focus on pvp.
I'm unsure if you know of it or were into twinking at the time but imo one of the best times for twinking was cata F2P/starter. It had the most helpful content, most helpful people and some of the most unique playing experiences. I started as a lv 20 F2P but became a veteran(subbed once but stopped paying and remained lv 20). For me it wasn't to slaughter lvers it was to have those thrilling last minute wins/losses of a 20 min close wsg. I HATE xp on being merged with xp off queues but that is because my bracket always had the fastest queues anyways. I can understand 19s or 39s or others wanting xp on/off merged to increase the 30+ minute queue times.
4. BIS.. well I'm full legion gear but I can understand the frustration completely. I actually got frustrated this week too because of it! Found myself farming the purple rings even though they aren't bis from the HH just because I wanted epics.. this is something I'm sure a few people from each bracket can do. I honestly don't know what BIS even is anymore. There are many things this forum is lacking on or needs to be updated so thanks for pointing one of them out so we can fix.
5. I hate to sound cliquish but if you look at someones profile and they have under 100 posts and/or have been here for less than 6 months it might be good to take it with a grain of salt... At the same time I've been here for over 5 years and I'll still find myself going off on people every now and then. So basically... majority of the people here can be assholes at times but can also be extremely helpful at times.
Tl;dr: Thanks for replying and even putting some thought into it. Don't put too much emphasis on "mains" if judging people on here. My main is lv 104 with like 3 days played compared to my lv 20 with 300+ days. Thank you and asm for bringing attention to a dying breed of WoW even if for a short time. Tell like 5,000 of your "fans" to come play 20-29s! That's only like 10% right? I'm sure 39s can give up 10% ^.^
Getting gold thrown at us is something he can do easily, it doesn't really work in my case because the stream tends to dislike me for the shit I talk when doing the show. I will just buy a WoW token or two and see what kind of gear I can get from that. Seems to me that leveling up professions is the part that costs the most, unless you're trying to get a fucking Shadowfang or some shit.
I've never been one to think that people make twinks because they fucking suck dick at end game. That could be a reason, but not everyone is the same. Some people may like the competitiveness if you face other twinks, people like myself just enjoy pwning n00bs, and others may just enjoy the gearing up process. I don't typically roast armories. I don't care that much. That's Asmon's thing.
For me, xp-off having it's own bracket and wait time killed it. I was waiting too long to get a fucking game, and I didn't wanna join the organized PvP the twinking community had going. I remember the threads on the WoW forums, people trying to get games going and they were specifying what day to do it on, etc. Just not my thing, I wanna queue up for it and put on some music from the mid 2000s and have fun.
I can ask him about how he feels about doing a 29 eventually. But that shit is later on down the road.
