Support for Twinks

Q u o t e:
I have time and time again on this forum asked for an acknowledgment.. that Blizzard are atleast recocognise this as a problem.. but to no avail.

All we're asking for is a statement to say one of two things:

- It is working as intended and there is nothing further to fix.

OR

- We recognise this as a problem and are working on a solution.

I wouldn't say we recognize it to be a problem. There are those who love to twink characters, purposefully trying to stay at a specific level with specific gear just so they're more powerful than the majority of the characters within at least 4 or 5 levels of them. Then there are those who wouldn't mind playing in a Battleground for fun now and then during the leveling process, particularly now that experience is offered. If Battleground queue times for twinks on any given Battlegroup are so long, I think it just goes to show what a small, niche form of game play twinking is.

As a company, we've never officially supported twinking. We've just been allowing it this whole time. Now with patch 3.2, we're technically supporting twinking by allowing players who aren't level capped to play in Battlegrounds without risking leveling up. The only fair way to do this though is to separate the twinks from everyone else, and thus you have whatever is left over in the twink queues.

Redolak I agree 100%. Hope you wont get banned like my friend just did for criticising the same answer from the blue's. But I guess thats how low they have gone by now in customer care.
