It's not because some of the players are elitist pricks that everyone are. That is my point.
Whatever, arguing about this topic is kind of repetitive.
And my point is that so far I have yet to meet any Twink that ISN"T an Elitist prick. So I never said there couldn't possibly be a nice person out their with one I just have yet to meet one in game. I did state earlier in posts that should I actually meet one I'll consider changing my opinion.
Protect your sister, that's cool, but as you pointed out, there are plenty of lvl 70's that are jerks too... do you simply refuse to heal any lvl 70 in purple? Cause you didn't say "I don't heal twinks that are jerks" you said you just don't heal any twink, period.
I also stated earlier that should I meet one that is remotely a half decent person I would consider changing my mind and actually might heal a twink but since I haven't met one like that yet I, as of currently have yet to heal any Twink.
However yes I will NOT heal someone at 70 if they can't be even the slightest bit polite as win or lose I'd rather get whatever honor I can and move onto the next BG hopefully without them in it. I don't heal based on gear I heal based how the person acts if the person wants to run around screaming that "Everyone in the BG is an Idiot and they shouldn't be in any BG until they have full Arena S4 w/ the best Gems and Enchants!!!" then why the hell would I heal them?
I love healing which is why I roll healing classes but seriously I to try to top the Healing Charts in any BG which is easier when healing everyone but some people are so rotten and rude that I just can't bring myself to heal them after they give me a Headache.

If you stop to think about it, you will realize that there are "twinks" who are good people. It simply cannot be that every single one of them are jerks. I know this becasue I know many twinks, and they are cool people, but also because it's simply not possible.
I have stated I heal based on something that has been said or done regardless of someone being a Twink (aka you want to be a jerk you get no love from my Priest however heals a plenty if you can show somewhat decent manners), I have also admited that I'm sure there are good Twinks out there however I have yet to meet one on my battlegroup. Though given my Guildies are thinking about making a Twink Guild I'm sure I'll know a few nice ones since they want me to heal for them.

Well, I still have a level 29 Warrior, a bit twinked, with some enchants from a friend that was leveling Enchanting. No clefthoof leg armor, no Crusader on weapon, no inscriptions on head/shoulders etc. I don't feel overpowered, imba, "the alpha and the omega" or things like that. I am just good geared and I do my part in the battle. About other twinks, they split up in 2 groups: nice people, that are totally bored with their 70's in T6 gear or S3, and seek out some fun amidst the lowbies and the r-tards, that doesn't matter if they are good or bad at PVP on their 70's, the Mother Nature just created them out of a terrible mistake. These r-tards poison the lower brackets and it's too bad there can't be made a common sense filter to keep these jerks out of bg's. Now I play my priest, he's lv 64 now and growing steadily, and I skipped only the 39 bracket. After 2-3 bg's for each bracket, I found out which ones are the good and bad twinks. And there were moments at lv 49 when I refused to cast Prayer of Fortitude, only because the jerks could get it. I buffed each raid member personally and healed the ones that knew how to ask for it. I mean, I am a priest after all, I know that when a member of my party goes low hp I have to heal him, but when they demanded it on a commanding tone and they threw in a few "nice words", all they received was an ignore command. We are all human beings, we pay the same amount of money on the subscription, some of us are still learning the game, and there is no need for a "heal me you idiot priest !". These are the guys that can't accept a defeat, these are the ones that will bring their 70's if you killed their toon on the same level as you.
As a final word, I don't hate twinks, be them good or bad. The good ones I respect, the bad ones I totally ignore.

but the feeling you get while twinks 1 shot you and absolutely demolish your team is much worse.
Yes twinks can do a hell of a lot of damage, but if you can be 1 shotted then you should probably have the common sense to not be there in the first place. If you are level 19 and still in mostly greys and whites maybe PVP isn't the best option yet. Even a non-twink is going to 2-3 shot you. Same goes for 29 really. Once you move past there things are a little different.
Twinking is for players who suck at 70 BG's or Arena's Plain and simple. I've leveled a few characters to 70 and not once have felt the need or desire to Twink a character for BG purposes
Not necessarily. I do quite fine at 70 PVP. I twink because I don't have the time to dedicate to arena or raiding. So both PVP and PVE are at a standstill for me. If I had the time I could get better gear, but for now I have a life outside of gaming, therefore making it a slow process to get gear better than what I have now. Besides, at 70 you are basically doing the same thing as twinking. You have stopped at a particular level (although having no real choice until WotLK comes out), and have a goal of getting the best gear possible for your level. Also, what you will find is that most people with twinks will stay at that bracket until they have maxed out on tokens (100 of each), build up some more of those good ol' HK's, and move on to the next bracket to start all over again. I have a 39 warrior who was once 19, and 29, and I'm about ready to move him on again. Although I'm thinking of skipping 49 this time around and moving him to 59.
Lacking abilities does not ruin a class either. If you need all your abilities and cooldowns to beat another player, then maybe you should be thinking of switching games to something a little easier. Might I recommend pokemon, you only have 4 abilities to work with there. Being restricted can often make it more of a challenge than anything, and I like a challenge. It makes the game more interesting.
I don't know really. Maybe people don't like twinks because they are just jealous that somebody has spent the time/effort/gold/whatever to do what they have no idea how to. I know whenever I see a 19 twink with that goddamn

I know they are dedicated and I respect that.

I personally think there is no such thing as a twink 70. Once you hit 70, you should max out your gear anyway. It's all the other ones (19,29,39,etc) that *!@# me off. They are a bunch of small weiner (in RL) guys trying to feel big and powerful by killing people in BGs. Let's be honest, if they were normally geared, they wouldn't be able to kill anyone since they have no real skill. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to twink out.
And do all players that max out their gear at 70 have small weiners?
It's when a twink comes up against another twink that the skill shows. It's what all of us twinks are actually waiting for. You say that twinks do not have the skill required to PVP, so does that mean they can't kill another twink? I think twinking is a great test of skill. Take 19 rogues for example, the most common of twinks. 2 equally geared players, same skills available to them. Other than the higher rated arena teams twink vs. twink is the only time in this game that PVP is an even fight.
Why don't you try it before you put other people down? You don't have to be fully twinked. If you have the skill that you boast, make a character, deck it out in better than average gear 'cos that's all you should need to beat somebody with no skill and try it. You also can't judge all people that twink because a few twinks out there are absolute $%^&heads about it. My advice, if you havn't twinked before, don't judge people that do by the PVP twink videos you have watched on youTube. Most of us are skilled, and a lot of us have probably been playing a lot longer than you.
Do you remember when the honor system was introduced and PVP in STV crashed servers all around the globe? I do.
(Shopping on eBay does not = skill.)

Well lets see....Never watched a Twink video on youTube personally and my exp is based off never meeting a even remotely decent mannered Twink who had anything but the opinion of "if you don't have decent gear aka are Twinks gtfo".
I have yet to know anyone in game that has made a Twink WITHOUT BUYING GOLD or that didn't buy their Twink from Ebay or other sites.
I've been playing for over 3 years and prior to joined battlegroups I hadn't see a Twink on any of the servers I'd played on.
As for "70's sucking at 70 BG which is why they made Twinks"......That I've heard from more Twinks than I have players that have never made one.
