Sorry to say, because I agree with most of your posts, but you're wrong. There were tons of twinks before the change. The reason the queue took forever is because only a minority were like you. If they had all converted to face other twinks, the queue times would not have been insane.
Agree with you on Korrigan's comment. Given the current state of the game (i.e. I don't want to pug anything right now), I find myself playing alts when my buds aren't available. I just completed Vash'jir for the first time this past weekend

Wrong, there weren't enough twinks to go around. Waiting hours in a Q to fight anyone is apain. And frankly as a twink, I loved fighting other twinks. I could tell at glance if they were geared as well as me. I loved fighting other warriors wearing the stuff I was. It was a nice challenge. That may not have been the mentality of the "normal" twinks but just because someone's a twink doesn't mean they like to go smish less geared people. Come on, what is it when a lvl 85 rampages through STV? Oh wait...that's just PvP. My bad!
Ahem....not to side track stuff....
I like the faster leveling. I like being able to choose different zones as I level. I got to hate the westfall to redridge to duskwood to....see where I'm going? Same. Every time. And besides if you do hit 85 with out touching half the content, you can still go back and do it all.
Have to agree with Korrigan's "replayability" comment.

Yep, but it didn't work though. Because twinks didn't really want to fight other twinks..they just wanted to roll over less geared people. Blizz made it so that if you queued with XP off, you'd only face other people with XP off, and since that consisted of about 3 people, BGs never popped for those people, and serious twinking more or less died and kind of morphed into heirloomed vs non-heirloomed.

./chuckles No reason to be sorry. I think it was more a combo of factors rather than one specific reason or the other. But on my battle group you'd get mostly a max of 5 twinks a BG at any given time in the bracket I was playing. Usually there were only 2 or 3. And that's not enough to make a full BG with.
I was playiing a twink with an "endgame" philosophy. I didn't have the time to fully gear a lvl 70 for PvP. I could however fully gear a lowbie. I've never understood the antagonism towards twinks other than it's a "I'm bitter you killed me" sort of thing. Simply because you find the same sort of problem in end game PvP (Except arenas) of people not being as skilled or not being as geared who are just there to get their dailies done and they're getting slaughtered and it's not fun. So why does it matter what level this is done at?
I still haven't finished Vash or Deepholm.
