He was Uber Twinked!!!

[Whiptail_Warclaw]

Just a little thing that happened today in EQ.

I zone into Paludal on the way back from Grimling and the usually /ooc "So-and-so lfg" is going on...
One player is /oocing "Necro lfg I'm heavily twinked."
Personaly nothing annoys me more than people who have to make a point that they are "twinked" when they are lfg, especially at lower level. I mean realy, these days, who isn't a twinked Alt?
Anyway a few comments are made, nothing to harsh and the Necro gets an invite to bandit camp 1. I say over /ooc "Nothing wrong with twinking. At least at lower levels your corpse looks cool." I go back to my journey and think nothing more of it.
A few minutes later I zone into Shadow haven and who should be standing naked at the zone line to PC, but the same Uber Twinked Necro. I didn't say anything, i just waved to him and ran off laughing to myself.

IMO you learn to play the class a lot quicker if you don't have that twink "cushion" to help you out.

A lot hate it but I think it's nice to see the better droppable items having a recommended level on it :P

People will be people though :?

[BitterOldMan]

Personally, I'd like to see more items flagged with a required level rather than a recomended. I cut my teeth playing a game where the best items were not available to use unless you had built a char up to a rather high level.

As far as advertising that you are heavily twinked when soliciting for a group I write that off as someone boasting and nothing more. I wouldn't take someone in my group who does that for I believe it shows a certain lack of maturity.

What the hell is a "heavily-twinked" necro doing advertising for a group anyway?

[Cerberus]

Twinked, why what is the fun if you have gear setup for a lvl 50 on a lvl 10 toon, you can never learn how to play you class, they end up getting group members kill, <yantis strikes again> sorry...

I'm mean seriously, look at Ghoat =/

[Zorthar]

I tend to twink my characters out and try to level fast too, but that never seems to work out as I plan =p.  But also between session I tend to research the class on message boards and how I can play better.

[Soullbash]

I have a level 55 Barb BST and started and Iksar BST.  My Iksar wears the gear of my Barb, I will not learn the class better from not twinking my Iksar.

Hehe I was thinking the very same thing.. A twinked Necro could level PC and not think twice about it..

And next thing he did was :
/OOC looking for my corpse... anyone seen my corpse ? :wink:

[Chebsis]

He may have stated his being twinked because that tells the other players that he has something to bring to the group.  A twinked out warrior has more AC and HP's than a warrior is lvl appropriate gear and a twinked out necro would have a larger mana pool and more HP's than a non-twinked one.  

I guessing that he wasn't boasting when he /ooc'd but rather was saying that he has something more to offer the group than the other people that were /lfg at the time.
