Not true.

if you have 2 Marauders , L 40, one in greens one in moddable purples, second one will have more stats.
Bolster is based on Level not on gear you have..

As for 'twinking', no, it's not bannable to leave warzone early (they even made button for that lolz), it's not exploit nor hack. They are not getting any reward. In fact, I think they are punishing them selves, since pre 50 WZ are filled with frustration, pain, stupidity and ignorance.

Edit: some one mentioned Expertiese, yes, + 41 expertiee on crystals instead of power or crit might be nice bonus, but Enhancments, you get + 25 exp per item, so 100 exp (2% damage bonus, 1.8% dmg reduction) you have to loose accuracy, crit or surge.. not really worth it in my opinion.

I think you are the one not understanding.

Twinking ( which is what this thread was asking) For most older gamers, was just about over gearing your toon.

It has since changed in meaning. So some of us that saw this. ( older gamers ) had no idea that now it pertains to people leaving warzones.

So as a few have replied about the gear ( because that was what twinking was originally about)
I have been called a hater for voicing my opinion. So be it. But I would rather die on my feet, then live on my knees.

Base stats. yes. But item is bonus stat, so from greens Mara1 will get less bonus then Mara2 from his purples.

if you don't trust me, go into WZ in green items, make screenshot of stats, then leave and enter WZ with purple/blue items.

You are both wrong.

Take a level 40 toon, equip him in greens and join a warzone.

Now take the same toon, give him full lvl 40 purples and join a warzone.

You will have different bolstered stats.

Wearing greens bolsters you to lvl 49 IN greens equivalent.
Wearing purples bolsters you to lvl 49 IN purples equivalent.

back in my day, Twinking meant something completely unrelated to MMORPGs.

I really do hope you're not talking about that kind of twink, since it would be off-topic

So by your logic I could have all lvl 14 purples on my lvl 40 and in WZ will still be scaled to purp power
