Why do people twink?

Cry more. Twinking isn't something new with WoW. It's been around since before WoW was thought of. And it's arguably as natural as max-level gear progression.
Not crying at all, as I don't play the 19 BGs. And where did I claim is was new with WOW? Oh, yeah, I didn't.
If you're nerdraging because you can never beat a twink, simple come out and say it. You already look pathetic, so you don't need to worry about that.
I don't need to buy my wins or overpower myself to make up for having no talent. Why don't you go play DOOM on godmode. That's probably more your speed.

So you mean that a player that plays several hours a day, should have equal gear with those that plays 4 hours a week?
What's with you people? Can you not read?
I never said that either. My claim is that no matter how much you play, and how much equipment you accumulate, you shouldn't be guaranteed victory. An advantage, yes. Able to beat people with both feet on the desk, stuffing a piece of 3 day old pizza down your throat while watching Nicklelodeon, uhhhhmmm, NO.
Why? It's a disincentive for anyone new to play. The more that BG, the better. The more evenly matched battles are the better.

this is about a waste of space for a topic. you dont have to twink at 19 to have fun sure you might not lead the BG in hk's but you can still have fun. I took a mage and a hunter thru each one of the Bg brackets all the while I was leveling and did just fine especially with the hunter. now I get one-shooted more at lvl 59 than I ever did at 19(especially on my mage not so on the hunter). so just learn to play your toon and quit crying. all you "wait till 70" people probley dont pvp anyway and I will bet your on a pve realm. if you can't take dying in th bg's maybe you should stay out or go play runescape

Some of it has to do with community as well. At 70 you would be lucky to have the same folks on a team as last game. At lower levels, there's a much bigger community, people playing for FUN rather than "grinding honor". I have also found that (even though I'm alliance) people tend to work together better at lower brackets than at 70...at 70 you're lucky to get buffed up...

So gearing is god-mode? Clearly you are very new to WoW.
Wow ... so clever! But, you're right. I started last week and have multiple 70s already. I must be good, so you should probably STFU and listen.
Gearing to the point that that you have severely lessened the challenge, yes. And that smacks of DOOM /godmode to me. People play it like that, but I have no idea why.

I know players who was up at 2500+ who has made twinks and i know players whho didnt make it over 1500 who made twinks....
Just to be clear, there is a BIG difference between "twink" and "alt". A "twink" is decked out in armor that is absolutely impossible to get on his own.
And often times it going to extremes to get it. Like running a "twink" through instances like Mana Tombs and such when you are only level 58 so they can get the BOP drops for the lower level 60- BGs

You're the worst kind of person. You don't care about the point or the logic behind it. You just care about your own biases.
No, unlike yourself, I have the experience to know what I am talking about. Unchecked twinking ruins games. I have seen it before. It is not a bias. Blizzard needs to keep it in check.
Everyone twinks. Go into your average level 19 BG on a half-decent battlegroup and you're lucky to run into a non-twink. Twinking yourself does nothing but negate the advantage other twinks have over you, to bring the game to a skill-based level.
Not everyone twinks. To think that proves what a black and white world you live in. And, the correct phrase would be "bring the game BACK to a skill based level", which of course, it won't be, since not everyone can twink to the same degree. Not even you probably, with all the gold you bought on ebay.
If you only have 1 account, how exactly do you run yourself through Deadmines or any of the other lower level instances to grab phat loot? Eh?
So yeah, we get that you're a whiny 13 year old mad at the world because twinks are able to
buy
peer approval while you have to struggle with your &*!@ty rating on your main. But the fact is, you're wrong, no matter how you want to look at it. Give up; you're just making yourself look like a total &*!@ing tool.
You vommited again. Rating? I don't have a rating. I don't Arena. What a pud.
Great. Have fun
buying
your wins. I hope it comforts you. VISA for the win!
Unlike spoon fed little boys like yourself, I'd rather lose and have fun than win and be bored. Good luck in the real world. You can't twink yourself out there.

1) to crush non-twinks. Who doesn't like decimating someone instantly?
2) to fight other twinks. Twink vs. twink fights are pretty fun if the opponent has some skill

No one is preventing you from having fun at anything. If you are incapable of having fun in lower level brackets, or incapable of twinking a toon, then dont enter those brackets. You know exactly what you're going to expect, so why even bother going in?
I don't BG lower brackets for that very reason. This conversation didn't start because I was complaining about my experiences in the 19 BG, it started because people don't want to come to the truth of why people twink.
Twink all you want for PVE. But, when it comes to PVP, twinking is a problem.
And frankly, if you're a twink in PVE, I don't want to group with you and heal your *ss anyway. Twinks make dungeons boring because they overpower it.
/YAWN
I think you have a very tunnel visioned view of WoW PvP. Maybe instead of being as headstrong as you are, you should widen your view and look at it from a different perspective.
I think you should think about it yourself. This is not the 1st MMORPG or PVP game I have played, so my impressions come from experience. Unchecked twinking RUINS PVP. It ruins the game. I have seen it happen.
It runs everyone OUT of the PVP that doesn't want to twink. Are you telling me that is good thing? It's a good thing Blizzard has 11,000,000 subscribers, or the 19 BG may be a wasteland.
If you don't....have fun failing at low level pvp AND 70 (soon 80) pvp, and being hated by everyone because of your poor attitude all the way.
Hah, get a clue. People love me. I play the dirty role that gets no respect. I am a Healer. I heal. I make their PVP experience better. So, just maybe, you ought to take a step off your high horse.
