Not at all. Twinking was one of the most fun things you could do in Classic Everquest and it is one of the only games you could actually do it in. It slowed down greatly after Luclin with things like rec. and req. level items and buffs. Major bummer and many began to look for the next big thing. Because it is obviously meant to do just that, slow down leveling in order to keep you grinding away with the same old crappy gear, even though you have earned the right to make it a little easier and more fun, supposedly having been through it before, having earned the items in question. One of the worst things about WoW and the games that came after is easily the level-specific itemization, making everything a clone of the last thing you had. BO-ring!
