So Ive been playing some bg’s from 50-59 as horde. Now the thing is, why are the alliance twinking in that bracket? As horde you will mostly face high ranked ppl up to rank 10 with a lvl 59. While horde is joining at lvl 50-55 with very few 59’s, the alliance join as 58-59 with high ranks while being very geared. Why is that?
Because at 60 they’d get rekt so they stay at 59 to twink and feel better about themselves?

Or… Because they want to?
Or because they want to get higher rank in a bracket where they don’t need to premade in order to get their rank before levelling up?
It was a pretty good solution for the “ban premades!” crybabies.

The 40-49 bracket is horde dominated.
The 50-59 bracket is alliance dominated.
This is my experiences from two weeks in the 40-49 bracket and three weeks in the 50-59 bracket.
Most of those high ranking alliance players that you face aren’t hardcore twinks, they’re here because it’s easier and less painful to rank up. Once you hit 60 it’s full of premades, so people stick around in the 50-59 bracket. It’s not uncommon to have 50%+ of alliance players in a BG have rank 6 or higher, but only a few of those are twinks. There are a few rank 11 in the bracket as well, who ride around on their epic mounts.
Most of these people end up moving to the 60 bracket once they’ve reached the rank they want. I’m in this bracket to get exalted with WSG/AB.

Because lvl 60 isnt pug friendly for horde and alliance . So people play 50-59 bracket as solo and the majority seemed to be on the alliance side on that bracket to farm rep and ranks till they are ready for lvl60. While the 40-49 bracket seems to be horde.
No , horde doesnt win always in wsg or ab at 60 , same goes with alliance , its always premades that wins it.

Lvl 50-59 is a hell of a lot more fun than pugging at lvl 60. You also only suffer like 5% loss in honor or something like that so it’s probably more efficient if you actually want to rank up to 11 or something by pugging. Only issue is longer queue times, but could be shorter now due to the increased amount of players.
Well not for the horde. Alliance win like 90% of the time without exaggerating. Just gonna lvl to 60

The Horde is dominating in most brackets and win AV 90-95% of the time. I can’t imagine how horrible it must be for you to lose in ONE bracket.
Tell that to all the undead rogues twinking with crusader enchants and +200 hp in the 19 brackets lmao

How fun is to twink at lvl 19, is there many things to do, anyone whos doing it if can write 5 lines I would appreciate.
Thinking of twinking myself
Twinking at 20-29 and 30-39 is more fun.
As if que’ing AV for 1 hour for hph as a casual pug just to win a game is good efficiency to rank up . Alliance can win AV games if there are like minded players in that game . Imo if you want to rank , find a group whatever your faction is and do premades till you are capped .

Why shouldn’t alliance players twink at the 50-59 bracket? At max level we face premades in wsg and ab and have a 10% winrate in av so if solo players want to rank they’re better off doing it at the level50-59 bracket. Also, keep in mind a lot of max level alliance premades demand players have at least rank 10+ or mc/ony gear before they can join those premades and rank up to 14.

It is pathetic imo. Hope they feel proud of winning from lvlers
Because Alliance sux
Twinking is for losers in my opinion. just my opinion though. people only get to show their real talent as a twink if they are against another twink, even then its still which one has better gear/enchants. twinks is boring af. Love games pre-60 when they are a minimum
so just like lvl 60 premades vs randoms

not necessarily. a premade is organised which is a large part of why they win. twinks just have a selfish neckbeard mentality that is click to kill and then sit on their face. twinks are boring af imo. I even have had a few twinks myself over the years and it just becomes so boring one shotting people and being unkillable.

I mean I never understood why someone would want to PvP in a game that pretty much guarantees power imbalance due to gear.
One would tell you to gear properly while another would claim it isn’t fair.
IMHO why not play a PvP game that gives both sides an equal chance?
