Q u o t e:
Yes, but however much they try to defend it, I think that for most of them the fun is in walking into a group of 'untwinked' players and killing them all. I don't think most people twink specifically in order to fight other twinks, but to avoid being fodder for them.
That might be so. If their motives for twinking is to fight other twinks to maximize the fun, then that will still be possible after 2.1. If their motives for twinking is to "pwn lowgear n00bz" then that will no longer be possible, unless the twinks they get to fight against are "no-skilled n00bz" instead.
We want everybody to have fun in the battlegrounds, and that includes those people who do not twink their characters... and getting steamrolled again and again by twinks is just not fun. I am also quite sure that the real twinks, who actually like a challenge, will think that fighting players like themselves will be much more fun than fighting the more normally geared players.
Basically you can say that we are weeding out the "griefing" element of twinking with the matching system.
