OP:

I am sorry to hear that you had some bad experiences with twinked characters. I think the guild really has very little to do with it, however. KWSN is (I believe) the 2nd largest total membership guild on P99. As a result, your going to run into all sorts of different people, more often, given the size of the guild. I know many very good people, with good intentions, who are also in KWSN, so it was really just luck of the draw that your first KWSN experiences were with rude players.

Regarding twinking, yes - any MMO that has been around 4-5 years (P99) is going to have a great deal of accumulated wealth. Twinking is common, and really to be expected. Twinking itself is not the culprit for what you experienced - just like anyone with power, its how you use the power that matters. I personally enjoy twinking a great deal myself (its fun to "blueprint" then "build" your new character), however I would never use a twinked character to interfere with anyone elses enjoyment of the game.

All this to say, sorry to hear you had a bad experience, but believe me when I say there are plenty of good people out there so don't throw in the towel just yet [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Confirmed casual guilds most toxic

Imo whats the point of racing to lvl 60 i enjoy trying new places as apposed to sitting in bb getting trained every 2 seconds and people scrounging for mobs. I ran my druid through bb got annoyed after a few lvls.. Headded to karanas.. Happy peaceful lvling. Bliss

May i suggest trying bandits in karanas they have a sash quest i believe can get a small amount of exp [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] or ec can farm pelts n sell to gather a bank roll.. So you can kit out your char..

Way i look at it if you may take slightly longer but will have more plat more fun and less rage quit

You gain infinitely more experience in a zone where there's mobs to kill versus one that's been scorched-earth by some twink.

One additional thought on twinking (FWIW):

Twinking really isn't necessarily geared for defeating the same challenge level mobs that an untwinked character would being facing at the same level. In other words, an untwinked level 15 may be killing level 8-10 mobs while a twinked may be (should be) killing level 12-14 mobs. The purpose being not only faster experience, but also maintaining some semblance of challenge in those lower levels. As a twink levels they become less "twinked" and more "gear appropriate" for their level so this practice fades and merges over time.

This differentiation alone almost ultimately means that a twink and a non twink really shouldn't be killing the same mobs. Unfortunately, sometimes mindless slaughter is SOP for some folks, but imho that defeats the fun of twinking unless your goal is just to get to 60 ASAP.

Just wanted to throw this in there because blanket statements of "twinks are bad!" or "twinks are the best!" really aren't accurate at all.

I'm disappointed that this "friendly community" didn't once say anything about changing this behavior. I don't care who KSed what, or who was what level. If people are being piles of shit, we shouldn't condone it by telling someone "Just go somewhere else. Avoid the shitbags and leave them to their shitbag ways."

This won't fix anything, they will just level up and continue being a shitbag.

I'm not talking about your guild. I'm not even talking about this incident in particular.

Its the mindset of the forumquesters to sweep bad behavior under the rug, and telling the people who are effected by it to find somewhere else.

If they keep looking for somewhere else, they will eventual find something else to play.

The bad behavior should be addressed when it comes up, not swept under the rug to rear its head another day.
