Adjust to discourage Twinks

[Licentia]

Let the Twinks be, I am on my way to 50 and they are left behind. I still do not understand why anybody would want to be a Twink, it looks to me as if they have not thought the process through.

When you hit 50 and need to be bolstered for the valor that will let you live longer than a couple of seconds, the thought may occur to you that, "Hey, I sure wish I had farmed more favor before I got to 50."

And then you'll understand.

Your favor gain in lvl 50 WF is 2~5 times as much as what you get at lvl 4x and hell a lot more than sub 1x~3x
If you stay in sub 50s because you want to farm favor, you are just wasting your own time.

I'd rather farm favor at a third of the pace while enjoying myself competing against other twinks than farm favor three times faster than I do now while being farmed. The brackets are filling out with more and more geared players every day. It's too easy to gear a character for any given bracket to make "twinking" the exclusive domain of those who just want to faceroll.

So played a bunch of games today in the 40-49 bracket. We had two Cleric twinks, literally 2 shotting people. I got 2-shotted by a caster cleric, these guys are probably taking twinking to the next level. Well, these guys were rolling temp enchants that boosts spell power by 200, 60 vengeance, and all the other good stuff. It ended up with our team just standing in the spawn till the game finished. We tried but it was impossible to put up a fight when we were dropping like flies.

Anyways the other cleric managed to do around 250k damage and around 39 killing blows with 0 deaths on the next game @ Whitefall where the other team just gave up and afk'd in their spawn. They were just camping the spawn and I had to leave defending our shard to go pick it up and bring it back three times since this team decided to go full ****** on farming the other team.

Cleric twinks, played well, are probably the strongest single character you'll go up against in a warfront. I almost want to say that the 200SP powerstones should be shifted up to a level 50 requirement, because it basically increases the SP contribution from their weapon by about 50% if they're using the Inscribed Sourcestone dagger/mace and tome. They can throw down some pretty outrageous burst and they've got self healing and other nifty tricks on top of it. Oh, and a 30m range.

One of the more arduous callings to gear for, though. My cleric is Honored with Farclan from all the CR runs I've done and I still can't get jack to drop.

This is my 3rd toon and I do understand, I just do not agree with you. I had much rather have all WF available to me and I will spend the majority of time in the Port grinding faction. While you are Twinking I will be advancing through the Ranks and I will own you by the time you arrive at 50. In addition I have been farming Planerite, Building Planar Attunement etc.. So in the long run the Hare wins and the Tortoise loses.

do what you will.

All I am saying is beating people with less than half your life as a past time is akin to walking around lording over children. While it might not necessarily be against the law, it is still a pretty crappy way to pass the time. If you are one shotting people and the like, you are not "helping them understand the game", you are "exploiting the fact that you have much better gear than they have". It doesnt take supreme skill and knowledge to do these things.

There is a very good intro to lvl 50 pvp in the 1-20 bracket. If you have not played any games in this bracket, I honestly suggest it, the games are pretty fun.
