They're indistinguishable to you. What business is it of yours? None.

If there's a symptom of something that has a GOOD cause (prevents me from
going and camping with my new character all over again) and a negative
cause, YOU may share in the misery, but I won't. Not once have I felt any
pain due to a twinked person.

Oh yes, look at all those toes I stepped on by not camping for tomahawks..
oh my god. I guess I better go camp those items (with my new char), making
everyone wait longer and the game less and less fun for everyone.

The alternative is to stop crying and whining over things that are most
likely not hurting you and most likely do more good than harm.

Your choice seems to be to shoot all the innocents just in case there's a
bad guy in there. What an honorable decision, yes, you shot the bad guys..
nevermind those people who are actually making the situation better.
