Twink: To give items or cash to a player of a level who would have
absolutely no chance of getting them at that level.

I personnally have never looked at twinking as cheating, more just of
shortcutting. I do tend to avoid playing with twinked people as I have found
that most of them can't play for squat. They tend to consider themselves
invulnerable, as most monsters near their level are quite easy to kill. At
some point (Brad has said this and I have seen it in action), the monsters
you are fighting catch up to whatever gear you have, and then you must rely
on teamwork and play skill to survive. And if the twinkees (generally) had
that to begin with, they could go out and get level appropriate gear and
survive. <gets down off his soapbox and awaits the flames while waiting for
an on topic thread to start>.

So now that the lifetap spells of necro's are resistable, are people finding
it even easier to find a group?
