    Or until a bunch of good twinks come along, you don't have a gear advantage, and you move to the next bracket.

So in terms of gear development I'm done, with minimal effort or time invested. For myself, character development <> grinding gear at 50. Been there, done that, no thank you sir, I would not like another. For myself, I'm more than happy of an endgame consisting of logging in, deciding what class I want to play today, and pvp'ing 'til my fingers burn. The closest thing to farming or grinding I ever do anymore is scraping up enough plats or mats to keep myself in health pots.

    The primary difference between a level 50, all-p40 warfront and a level 30 warfront is that you add two zeroes to all the numbers, both for damage and for armor and for healing.

    Yes, there are few more skills to juggle at 50. Not too many. And some classes just add a few lines to their macros while they stack their 50 "twink" gear at p40.


    Lock XP just shortens the "grind", so you can have the p40 experience a few hundred hours of grind sooner.

    Agreed, and we should make a special queue for those who do. So you all can share your enthusiasm for balanced low level pvp with each other.

    Again, that's fine. Now let's just put you in a queue with all those other "special" people.

    You lock xp to get the "p40 experience" and improve your odds of playing against P1's. How challenging.

    OP: My skill did not make me naturally shine in the warfront, so now I locked my experience so I have max gear for my bracket and I can farm the people who are working their way through the bracket. Please don't take twinking from me because then I will once again be irrelevant.

    Well, you just roll a twink and cream all those "unskilled twinks" with your super skills then. No problem. I am sure you will have twice the killing blows and damage from your superior skill, right?

    And by the way, level 50 has TONS of people being creamed as they work their way through the bracket for weeks and weeks.

    I couldn't hack it in high school basketball. So now I go to the park and find the elementary kids playing. All star!!! I just tell them when they cry, don't worry you can grow up, come back, and do the same...

    How challenging is it playing a fully twinked p40 against p30-p39 players?

    That doesn't even make sense. I'm pretty sure it did in your head.

    We don't want new players to try and have fun pvping while they level anyway.
