You know you can do skirmishes at lvl 19 ?
But seriously, I hate the idea. Being a twink means sacrifice 80% of their class habilities to smash trough peoples with normal gear. Arenas are the most advanced form of pvp and I don't think I can live with the idea of a guy hitting 2000 rating by spamming SS.
Also, the queues will be way too long.
1st: Because the 19 population is smaller than the 70 population.
2nd: Peoples don't create twinks to "show their skills" against opponents with the same level of gear.

Ur wrong in every sentence u wrote.
1st. Skirmishes aren't Arena Teams.
2nd. At level 39 or higher u rather need skills other than gear I wanna watch you Heroic Striking a rogue without disarming/overpowering him
3rd The queues won't be long at all, theres so much twinks in the world, they just can't dare to skirmish at 39 because they know they cant find anyone for.
4th And perhaps could you tell us what is exactly Twinks made for? Show how much money they have?
You haven't a twink thats obvious, oh and by the way, I have another thread where I show how ridiculous level 19 twinks are. It's just about money. Things change at higher level.
3) the queues for non-70 battlegrounds are already stupidly long, and the queue times only get worse when you leave the 19/29 twink brackets.
4) most twinks (maybe not yours, and certainly not all) are made SOLELY to rip people apart and feel "uber". These people have fun doing it: good for them.

Umm, twinks are NOT about money. Yeah it takes a good amount to make a good twink. But good twinks aren't about showing that they have cash to buy gear and chants.. GOOD twinks were made because they got owned over and over and over...and over again when the were leveling. Instead of swearing off BGs and going to forums to QQ about them, they decided to make one of their own and stick it to the guys that pwnd them. Yes, tragically some new players get slaughtered. Unfortunetly, some of them never PvP again. Twinks are made to bring the most power possible to the BG for their faction....
Back on topic. With WotLK coming out we will actually be able to see some twink arena teams. The 70 bracket. Inevitably some people will stay at 70 (just like 19, 29, 39, etc. etc.) to pwn people. Only time will tell if this becomes as popular as the BG twinks.

I have to say, a rating and reward system for twinks would be difficult to run and manage, it is very unlikely this will happen as blizz doesn't officially recognise the community or aspect of the game in that respect.
The major flaw unfortunately would be the imbalances and dependency upon cheap tactics such as the Arena Grand Master or Tidal Charm trinkets and that every team would be the same specs/class combos as they shine much more at the individual brackets.
Such as all rogues/hunters/very well played priests at 19. All huntards and holy pallies at 29 and nothing but sub rogues and affliction locks at 39.
While definitely an interesting idea, it won't be realised by the people involved and I doubt it would get the players out of battlegrounds. Keep in mind the vast majority of 'twinks' aren't well geared and are very bad players, the few that are skilled will often devote more time to their mains, where the skills are better recognised and rewarded.
Also your warrior is pretty horrible, I have tried dual wielding with the max of 22 hit at 39 and it isn't really viable without bloodthirst or any of the core fury talents.
Nightblade is, plain and simple, a P.o.s. and should be discarded for it's speed and lack of stats. You will achieve little as a 39 warrior unless you are extremely geared and wielding a pendulum with an Enrage/Flurry/Imp. slam build. The only downside of this is rogues will demolish you unless they suck.
Lastly, something 50cm off the ground with a prawny beard isn't going to incite fear. Gnomes Fail...

This is how twinking -should- be. All about equally geared in twinking gear, so it's all about the teamplay and skills, and a tinsy bit of nuke.
I have played for ages versus some of Bloodlusts finest, (Litharia, Dinkomán, Vara, Foi etc) and we have quite good twinks on either side, though the majority is on alliance (meh, no competition).
Lately, when warsinging (heh), I have more and more often seen lowbies, lowbies attack me, and I just run away from them. Not because I'm a newb who can't play for sh*t, but because I don't want them to feel underpowered. Also, I have refrained from the temptation of charging said lowbies, as I would before.
Considering the Arena stuff for 19, it can go both ways. As an above post said, it should be okay if the teams are to meet up with equally geared teams (go for the f*cking item level comparison -AND- rating comparison already, Blizz!). And to reply to another above post, I'd have to disagree about all other classes than hunter / rogue sucks at low levels. Rogue is, in my opininon, the worst class if played well... Note "Played well", as it is very important. I can down many good twinked rogues, if they don't know how to turn properly to face me all the time, use thrown to keep me in combat, timing gouges etc etc. but when they do all this, it's a hell of a match. I have battled every class in the field, and I've seen good twinks from all classes. I am, without bragging too much, rated as one of the most fearsome warrior opponents to hordes amongst the twinks of Bloodlust (10-19), And I have been killed by nearly every class in a fair 1v1. Aslong as you know how to play with your limited ability-set and your racials, bandages, usables and spells, you can win. It's that easy.

Cry some freakin more about twinks why dont you!
Everyone who EVER made a 70 knows for a fact that twinkage never stops (mabey even get worse!) Lets put it like this......
You just dinged 70 in your outlands greens, so what do you do? que for a bg so you can get some honor and buy the "welfares" next thing you know your running through wsg and some full s4 geared mage 2 shots you with arcane expolsion! AWWWWW POOR BABY!
So... if you want to not get owned by people who have better gear then go play some other game... (I hear halo is more "skill" based)
I dont support eather side of the argument just want people to stop qq'ing and play the game.

actually the best place to not meet twinks would be the 60-69 bracket most likely...
too long to lvl for most ppl who want to use a twink
too close to 70 for those ppl going to 70 and such maybe try out the BG, but certainly won't stay in the bracket
