World of Warcraft player gets visited by benevolent twink 'Boostlord', a level 10 monster mage juiced up on funky dungeon scaling

Since World of Warcraft's release, «twinks» have been a problem. For those familiar enough with gay culture to be scandalised, I promise that's the actual MMORPG lingo. A twink in an MMO is a low-level character you pour a bunch of effort (and typically money) into, giving them absurdly powerful gear—proportionately, at least. Etymology lessons will come later.

It's usually used to dunk on people in PvP. The twinks I know would grab an alt character, level them to 19, kit them out, and run rampant. This happened so often during my time with Vanilla WoW that I still get a fight or flight response when I see anyone with those freaking goggles on. If you know, you know.

Nowadays, though, some gamers are twinking for good. They can do so due to WoW's expansion structure—the game's been out for a while, and that's caused two things to happen. A 'level squish' during Shadowlands, which brought the game's 120 levels back down to a more manageable 70, as well as level scaling in dungeons to keep queues popping quickly.

This allows for some absolute nonsense. With the current system, a level 10 character can be matched with players of a far higher level. To compensate for this, the game scales everybody's damage and healing so that the level 10 newbie doesn't feel like dead weight. 

As crappy-throwaway on the game's subreddit has discovered rather dramatically, this can be exploited. «I get a group for Shrine of the Storm with a level 10 mage named 'Boostlord' or something to that effect. They ask in chat if they can Tank.» Suffice to say Mages—a flimsy, cloth-wearing class—can't really tank under normal circumstances. «I just reply 'go ahead lmao' fully expecting a wipe.»

Boostlord then proceeded to tear through the dungeon at
