War is an experience that few would choose to have in their lifetimes, and yet, in Azeroth, it is the way of the world as the Horde and Alliance continue to struggle against each other even as more imminent dangers split their focus. It is this experience that forges the novice into the hardened veteran and drives them onward to fame and glory. In Call of the Crusade, the opportunity to gain experience through war will become a reality.

With the upcoming content patch, players will be able to gain experience within the Battlegrounds for completing objectives and actions that yield honor in them. These objectives include (but are not limited to) capturing flags in Warsong Gulch, gaining resources in Eye of the Storm or Arathi Basin, or taking objectives in Alterac Valley. Player level will also affect the amount of experience that can be gained within the battleground.

For those that would like to opt out of gaining experience while in the battleground, you will be able to visit Behsten in Stormwind or Slahtz in Orgrimmar – both located near the battlemasters in either city – and turn off all experience accumulation for the cost of 10 gold. Players with experience gains turned off who compete in Battlegrounds will face off only against other players with experience gains turned off. Behsten and Slahtz can reinstate experience gains for players, for a 10 gold fee of course. Any experience that would’ve been accumulated if experience gains were not turned off cannot be recovered.

This is an excellent change. Problem solved with no tears on either side of the issue.

Ty!

Main1 = S3 Gladiator Twilight Conqueror Azuredragon of Destromath - HE IS A DRUID!!!
Main2 = Ghostdragon - HE IS A DK!!!

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.

A good change.

I'm especially looking forward to all the upcoming QQ about ungodly queue times in low level brackets.

From the patch notes, you may want to add this to your post Neth:

Disabling experience gains will prevent a player from gaining experience through any means available in the game.

Very interesting. On first reading I had missed the bit on the turning off XP gains means you'd only face other players with the same setting. Nicely done.

I can imagine some twinks getting upset over losing their gank-targets, though. No more easy kills of new, clueless, or carefree people popping into a bracket with regular leveling gear on...

...but for everyone else, including MOST twinks--I think--it's a great change! Leveling via PVP always seemed like it'd be a good idea for those who enjoy it. And you won't fall far behind your non-PVPing leveling buddies by taking time out to run BGs for a few hours.
