lol afk out because there are twinks? then wait 15 minutes and try again? sounds fun.... don't be ignorant dude.
also comparing twinking especially in the 19 bracket a hard duel.... you have like 1 attack, I made a twink once, I went into a bg, began to one shot everything in sight, got bored in a day and deleted it. You all must be easily amused, for that I feel sorry for you. See you in level 80 pvp when you decide you want to fight someone who has a chance.

Lower level PvP is fun. Twinking is fun to face up against normal people or other twinks, because the gear is easily obtainable. At 80, it requires much more time and work to get better gear which practically wins the fight for you. The low level legitimate PvP is much more fun in that sense.

Twinking, by few means, is easy to gear. It requires either long, dedicated farming, luck, and/or lots of gold. Enchants also require some gold, depending on what you need.
As for what twinking is, I see it as a sport in the game that people do, such as arenas, where you gear/enchant the best you can get at that time. It's more of a showoff thing and you wont get rewards outside achievements. And I personally enjoy twinking because I can go against other twinks and see where I am best at and where I need to improve my skill on. Basically, killing other classes with the limited abilities and consumables you have at your disposal.
Also: My confirm code is v6bay (V - 6 letters Bay, V'enture' Bay anyone?)

"The problem with twinking is imbalance at low levels. You do have a chance against someone in BiS gear at level 80 if you're more skilled and smarter than he is....."
So your saying that if i have a armored tank and you have a knife, with skills you can win? what are you going to do? try and stab our way through my armor?

There are as many reasons to twink than there are twinks. Some do it to roll over underleveled/-geared, others because they seek honorable fair duels between two twinks/premades/twink guilds (some have their own society) and some just do it because they can and so on. I know a lot of bored high levels, people who only log in to play BGs and I usually enjoy running any BGs with them and against the alliance twinks, because there are a lot of cool/friendly/plain skilled ones out there.
/rant
What spoils BGs for me at any level is the people who go there without the intention or knowledge to play that BG. As in many things WoW, Idiots are the problem. When I see two twinks on our side and 5 on the opposite side, I know we lost, not because our team isn't geared but because the twinks are often the only ones caring about the BG objectives. They know the BGs in and out, know tactics, know how to play with others, have a lot of experience in PvP and how to counter other classes. That's what sets them apart. Apart from the Kill count masturbators of course but they aren't bad because they twink but because they think their Kill count means they are great.
Also Blizz has closed the gear gap again and didn't even grandfather the items with way too high enchantments and introduced more and more good level appropriate dungeon drops. There is no excuse to join a BG at level 22 with trash gear and no concept of PvP and then expect to be good at anything. With enough experience you can of course still be usefull to your team, way more than a twink, who doesn't know what to do in a BG.
Maybe Blizz needs to make Beginner and "Pro" BGs, where you need to fulfill certain BG objective achievements to be allowed to join, then everybody should be happy. Me too.
/edit
Ah wait, Kill counters would just not fulfill the Pro requirements so they can continue to grief the casual and newb crowd, maybe some sort of Karma/Player Reputation or a /kickban system would be in order in addition.

Getting good enough gear doesn't need a lot of time or money, as it is now. I actually like the challenge to go to a random server and make only one character, maybe a bank/AH alt and take a jab at some low bracket with a semi-random class. Old world and TBC enchants aren't that expensive if you know how to get some easy gold from the AH and most gear is level appropriate these days or you only need one more to help you with a quest. AH gear is either affordable or so much out your league, it's not worth it anyway unless you are going for world's best geared twink and like paying a lot of gold for 2 more points of agility.
I don't really have enough time to get my high levels raiding ready and then stick to a weekly schedule to stay geared through the content, I can always randomly log in for an hour or two and get some PvP done.

Arena people are in some form, twinks at the end game. So you'll find any twink at any bracket.

I get sick of hearing from the losers "a lvl 12 playing bg for the first time" crap. if its your first time in a bg your going to suck anyway and its not just the 10-19 bracket try going into a level 20-29 as a level 20 or lvl 40-49 brackets as a lvl 40 your gonna get your head handed to you no matter how "skilled" you are. same with lvl 80 if you dont spend hours raiding or playing arenas your gonna get raped even if you are "superskilledman". so go QQ somewhere else about twinks or dont play bg's.

no difference in twinking at 19 than at 80 the object of the game is to get the best gear period. anything is is just QQ by losers
It's never pure faceroll at endgame bracket unlike other brackets.
