The only problem that I have with twinking is not the twinking itself. What bothers
me is when I go to an area that was designed for my character's level, in order to
earn an item that was intended to be used by my character's level, only to find it
camped by players 10-15 levels higher than me.

As one of the modestly-developing players on my server (I started April 1st, and am
only level 34), it has always really irritated me to have zones that are intended
for players of my level cluttered with players who should have gone somewhere else,
but are too lazy or too chicken.

When those players are joined by players who are bored, and who are camping the
areas in order to give items that I now cannot get to 5th level newbies, it ticks me
off. This is not a twinking problem, per se, it is due to the lack of things for
level 50s to do. Still, the net result is that I end up really resenting twinks who
are wearing things that I should have been able to get, but cannot (because there
are too many other people of much higher level than me, with much more time on their
hands than I have, cluttering up the zones). I know that the level 50s will say
that they have a right to do this, and they do. It still stinks for me, though.
