Could you tell me what you consider to be "significant twinking"?
Oh and now that aipfs are instanced the polychromatic pillow is really not that difficult to come by.
Also I'm sorry. But Nippy stilletos are not an item that's really getting twinked on, the hardest part of it is getting it and then it's almost equiped. ('cause it has a tl4 lock with low reqs)
And getting a 220 char up and running to be able to farm stuff for lower levels is really not taking much time anymore, what with dailies and all.
But most importantly - my argument was based around this claim to be false:
which you just more or less agreed with, with that:
(implying that tl5/tl6/tl7 twinking is easy. Which is large margin of the game. And considering the amount of claims I hear about how broken tl1-3 pvp is (traders) I'm going to doubt the usefulness of having a twink in that range. Also don't start claiming for pvm, because there simply imp laddering and other basic stuff can get you more than far enough to solo pretty much everything)
