Q u o t e:
The nerf to experience gains in Alterac Valley in 3.2.2 was not intentional. It was a side effect of the level bracket change. Again, we've applied a hotfix to substantially increase experience gains across the board for all Battlegrounds. Alterac Valley experience gains should now be better than they were immediately following the patch. Experience gains in all other Battlegrounds should now be better than they ever have been.
Q u o t e:
The reduced experience in Alterac Valley is due to the fact that Battleground experience is based off of the level of the Battleground. Characters level 70-79 are no longer getting experience based on level 80 characters. As a result of this, we are now able to do an across-the-board increase to experience gains from all Battlegrounds in order to make sure that no Battleground feels too unrewarding in terms of experience. We have also made it so the experience bonus from heirloom items work properly in Battlegrounds.

Anyone else really happy to hear about this? :3
Althought I'm guessing the EXP will be upped I'm also left thinking it wont be as good as it was previously, but I guess I'll have to live with it.
