Xperience gain in bg too small

These are just my initial impressions but I took my new level 10 warlock into bg's today for first time. Firstly I found the twink free battleground to be much more fun than previously and you even have some small chance of success with a low level character for each bracket.

I must admit that after levelling 4 characters to 80 the pve route I was quite looking forward to pvping all the way to 80 in battlegrounds. However the xperience gained is just too small. I would prefer it if a small amount of xp was also attributed to each honour kill as this would speed up the process somewhat and give a lil more meaning to each kill. In the time I will gain one level pvping I would have jumped 5 or 6 levels taking the pve route. Just my thoughts.

We have spoken about this in another thread:

To touch on it here a little, the experience gains from PvP are being closely monitored. It wasn't a feature tested greatly on the PTR and as such changes may come in future to the earnings of PvP experience.
