Why WoW players hate twinking

Why do so many people that play WoW hate twinking? I've played mmo's on my iPhone that have more twinkers online than WoW does and that game only has like a population of maybe 100k players and maybe 15-30k online at one time... Twinks literally own that game, and most of the endgamers have twinks on that game too.

Thing is, most people on the wow forums complain about how they got rekt by twinks when they were leveling in a bg (smart idea right? ). What I don't get is, the majority of them pvp at endgame, which is about the same thing twinks do, we all gear for BiS. Their top pvp gear and weapons are the equivalent to our inferno robes/shadowfangs/seal of argus yadda yadda yadda.

There really is no other difference between lower level twinking and endgame other than the levels. Did that many people get owned by twinks that bad to where they automatically hate anything that has the word twink in it? that's like me complaining on the forums that I got owned by level 100's because I had green gear on and they all had bis pvp gear I would get downvoted, yet, if it was them in the twink battlegrounds they would be demanding people be burned at the stake for daring to gear a character at anything below endgame.

In addition to that, there isn't anything much to do on wow anyways except sit in the garrison anyways, which is why I'm wondering why it never crosses normal wow players minds to ever twink an alt and do something different rather than doing the same stuff. So other than me stating the obvious that the typical wow player who hates twinks obviously is incapable of thinking rationally, I pose this question hoping to get some good answers as I'm not an "vanilla" twink and wasn't there when you veterans used to get 400 kills in one game from killing noobs.
 
I really dislike using analogies but...
To many endgame players unless you are doing "current content" you are shunned by your peers. End game is the major leagues. Twinking is peewee league for them. So for them to PvP in anything other than endgame would be beneath them and they would see no point in doing it. They really only play to gain loot too. If there is not chance at loot, then there is no reason for them to even play. At a lowbie level, you really can't gain loot by doing battlegrounds. So they see it as a waste of time. Where we see it as fun. And we see them going after loot that will be obsolete in 8-12 weeks as obsolete, although PvP endgame lasts Way longer, as a waste of time.

/cheers

Pocket legends, my friend used to play that aswell. You twink at 15 or 35, what i thougjt was weird is that it's basically dueling lol. They get into bgs and ask for a fight before attacking xD

Bingo! I'm one of the few founders on PL :) used to twink a 10 and I must say there are sooo many twinks on there especially since the game is no longer being updated, the developers really care about twinks almost as much as endgame on there :p

Only downside is yeh, they want people to say fight before they duel or it's considered "rushing", and people like to double team rushers lol

Pocket legends being the most twink friendly MMO out there. The company also made dark legends, a vampire based mmo also very twink friendly, and they also made star legends and arcane legends.

Arcane legends is the most played currently and also has a lot of twinks on there also, but a lot of them endgame a lot too
 
^ikr, good times on there. Twink gear costed a ton of gold too lol

It just seemed unusual because I saw people on the wow forums saying they are quitting because there is "nothing else to do", but they never tried twinking before lol

But yeah, it's lame they think twinking is that bad.
 
There is TONs to do in the game. The player the cries there is nothing to probably does even have the 150 pet achievement. Or the 100 mount achievement... Or they have not earned gold cap. I could go on and on... What that player is really saying is there isn't enough easy stuff to do.
