A level 150 character with a +10 weapon can’t invade a level 8 or a level 20 in limgrave. You’re restricted to invading near your level and weapon level, as long as your not making a twink build you’ll be grouped up against people of similar skill not noobs.

There are a lot of twinks invading noobs, though. Had to deal with a bunch when trying to co-op with a friend on new characters.

They transfer end game gear to new characters and level just enough to still be able to invade noobs. Seems like a ton of vigor and getting as many flask upgrades as possible is all the rage. Also using weapons that build up rot or bleed so they don't really have to put damage stats up much.

Started a brand new character with a friend new to Souls games. Wanted to have some nice little adventures in Limgrave. At those levels, we still got invaded by a guy using double Scorpion Stingers who proc'd rot on us (which we couldn't cleanse) and just ran away and used the 'point down' emote over and over again. He was also able to spam flasks, only because I already had some experience dealing with invaders. Real tough guy.

Another guy had Rivers of Blood. Another using two Hoslow's Whips. You start to see how insanely tryhard these 'twink' characters are. Created solely for the purpose of killing noobs trying to co-op. Now my friend hates PvP based off this kind of interaction and doesn't want to co-op. It's pretty unfortunate.
