Explain the purpose in a "twink"

[Energizeric]

A twink is a lower level player who has turned off their XP and plans to stay at the lower level permanently. There are a few main purposes:

1) Farming twink gear during special events. For example, if you were a level 10 twink during the recent winter event, you could get level 10 Tarlok gear instead of level 35/36. Since there are fewer twinks, the lower level holiday gear tends to be worth more than end game holiday gear.

2) Opening crates. You have the same chance at a mythic/arcane item, but any legendary drops will be the same level as your twink, and this lower level gear is worth more for the same reason, there are fewer twinks that open crates than there are end game players, so the gear is rarer.

3) PvP. Some people like lower level PvP. Since the characters are weaker and have fewer skill points to spend, the battles often last longer. Also, if you have the best wink gear, you will do better at lower level PvP since many of the players are not twinks but instead are new players who are in the process of leveling up, so they are less experienced and easier to beat. This is why you find some PvP twinks with 50-1 KDR.

Yep and to add thatNot all twinks farm for good kdr.
i for one, went to twink cos endgame pvp cos tons of gold to enjoy pvp.
Twink pvp cost less than endgame. There are only few differneces, the number of players(skilled or geared).
Ganging, dramas and spotblocking are performed by endgame and twinks.
