Can twinks also relate to Runescape or no?

In its most basic definition, a twink is a character with better gear than they could have easily gotten on their own.

Defined by Wiki: In Runescape, isn't a twink a level 3 with a phat? or santa hat? or a low level with full dragon including full helm and all?

If wrong, please explain how this couldn't relate to Runescape?

It can't be RuneScape related because RuneScape needs a certain defence level to use that armour. On World of Warcraft it relies on your level. Partyhats and Santa Hats don't give defence bonuses, do they? If they do, they're a slight bonus, and therefor it doesn't count. Correct?

Well referring back to the original definiton:

A level 3 Runescape player couldn't have easily gotten a phat on their own. Meaning, [just an example] that they spent 2 years chopping yews to raise enough money to buy a phat.

This to me is not "easily gotten" correct? or am I wrong?

-another example-

A Runescape character with only 40 defense (assuming that's the required level to wear full dragon) has full dragon. That character only having 40 defense is very unlikely to kill the monsters that drop full dragon pieces.

This to me is not "easily gotten" correct? or am I wrong?

A twink is also defined as a character used to kill the other team with no trouble. WoW has brackets, RS does not. A level 19 with good gere owns a level 19 with with bad gear in WoW, A level 60 cant own a level 120 in the same gear, therefore, no, you are incorrect.

Oki doki, I was just curious. I was just reading the definitions you all were using and from the overview it looked like it could possibly relate to Runescape as well. Now I know, Twinks don't exist in Runescape. =D

It sort of works in a different way in RS. In WoW twinks manipulate their gear.. in RS pures manipulated their stats.

Yeah I was just thinking it could be put in terms of Runescape.
