On the latest server I'm playing on I got my first 70 (swapped factions) and geared myself as best I could with my own time. All thats left is for me to do is raid with the guild to gear up.
So, I made a new character... Worried about my pally's utility as an offtank in later raids, I rolled a druid to make another offtank. I like that roll.

He's been a spoiled child, getting all the gear he wants for his lowbie self, leveling quickly, etc. But then it got me thinking.... I have to WSG to get a blue amulet and to get my first trinket.
I was nearly a twink myself, only thing I really lacked were the chants needed for disgusting pwnage and a few items that weren't worth a day or two worth of dailies to buy off the AH just to replace shortly after.
Twinks still gave me a hard time, not because they were killing me, but because it seemed that our twinks just wanted to frag everyone in the middle and they always had more twinks than us.
It was a frustrating 20 losses to get my amulet. I ding'd 20 shortly after, giving up on the idea of getting the trinket too.

Yes, twinking is a challenge and can be very fun to some players. But, to everyone else who decides to queue up for some BG action, the act of playing a twink basically griefing the rest of the BG.
Go twinks go! play all you like, but be more organized about it. You claim that its only fun when you face other twinks, so get more organized and stay outta our lowbie bgs.

But, there is salvation coming in a very interesting form. A great deal of the Twink Guilds I encountered horde side on my server didn't understand even the most basic concepts of twinking and looked more like poorly itemized hybrids than fine tuned killing machines.
With luck, the alli are suffering the same problem with twink popularity, diluting the twink pool and leveling the BG.
