I always had a twink and will most likely twink again on here.
My perspective of twinking is in a certain way playing the game as you want to.
Making it a tad more interresting then to follow certain premade archetype way to play it.
Alot of research and some kind of creation happening through a certain passion.
The hunt for BiS is a one of a kind feel.
Now I understand you will say, 60s can do that too but the major difference is, specialy in vanilla, 19 gear wasn't planned out for twinks where as tier/pvp gears were made for it.
Also, the fact that the gear is mostly obtainable solo makes your character very personal and I believe valuable to its makers eye.
Playing 19 is to me, a very different game. Why you say?
Movement is very important:
-No mounts and less ability makes every single movement you do very crucial.
Ex.: No way to come over a movement mistake by quickly mounting and getting back in action.
If you know you're dying, dragging your opponents away from your team will have greater results.
Etc.
Quick fights:
-having a small lifepool and hard hitting spell/abilities makes for quick fights with alot of precombat thinking/planifying strategy. In some way, I personaly prefer that since it adds a somewhat more realistic feel to fighting.
Engineering and consumable:
-Playing with engineering is majorly impacting the gameplay whereas it is a must and become a part of your skill/ability rotation and strategy.
-Same goes for consumes/reagents, being lower level makes the consumable much more accessible in cost and become a part of your character. I see them as a self buff skill equivalent to poisons, fort, motw, etc.
Experience:
-Premade vs Premade are very intense due to passionate players and since twinkin is soloable, it is possible to have near full BiS players on each side and not wanting to dodge each others. Most players and specialy on a private server, twinked before and know the game and what to do jumping the skill level of fights much higher.
Community:
-most importantly, people who twinks stick together and build up a community of fun and cheers. At the end of fights, it is not rare to see someone logging on the opposite faction saying ggwp etc. People tend to be more skill oriented since BiS vs BiS = skill makes the difference.
This being said, I'm not posting this to change your mind.
It's simply my opinion and perpective of it.
I am in the process of making my 19 come to life and I will most likely have a few friend join me.
We are going to be alliance and will be playing in the near futur.
