Quote:I read somewhere that Blizzard is going to be introducing a small amount experience for BG kills, to thwart twinks.
Now, I don't remember where I read this. It could easily have been a fabrication by some hopeful lowbie who was getting owned in BGs. If no one else has heard of this, then it probably was.
That would be horrible. On the one side, twinks are an anathema to people leveling up their characters. I see that point, and some kind of honor or gear matching system would be nice, but won't be implemented until at least the expansion. However, seen from the other side, twink vs twink matches are great games. The benefit of twinks is that everyone knows what the best gear and enchantments are for that level and those things are easily obtainable by everyone whether you are a hardcore raider or not. So, everyone in a twink vs twink game goes in on a level playing field and the only thing deciding whether you win or lose is your team's collective skill and coordination. I like that.
