Conflict is driven by competition. If the twink and you were competing for the same mobs, there is one explanation for antipathy right there.

Likewise, social comparison mindsets can lead to poorer mental health outcomes if you compare yourself to someone you perceive as better to you. So even if that twink is in your group, helping you clear content, you may still experience unpleasant feelings in response to them.

Another explanation could be in/outgroup psychology - their access to superior equipment may make you ‘other’ them, making it more difficult to empathise or establish feelings of connectedness.
