Twinking is always relative. When i started bronze was (in my clueless opinion) twinky for a lowbie. In jan 2000 as a druid I was happy with a fs scimitar and some tailored leather given by an irl friend who started late 1999. I was amazed when crafted clad newbies grouped with me.
Jimjam is right, but i was happy my small mana pool (rubbish gear) was challenged less because good armor mitigates damage. Coming from AD&D with great dms helped to ease me into feeling like earning (in my opinion) is better than twinking. To each their own.
Low expectations helped to not be "jealous" of twinks i suppose.
I will never be amazed by seeing the butcher block chess board for the first time again. More's the pity.
Mega buffs helped more for the non twinks i felt.
