Leveling in Battlegrounds

I love leveling in battlegrounds. After 5 years of playing this game and leveling 4 characters over 70 and countless others over 30 i'm getting a bit sick of leveling though quests that i've done many times before. Changing battlegrounds so that you gain exp was a great idea. It might not have been as fast as questing but it was so much more fun. But now with the nerf to exp gained in BGs it's really quite annoying.

Before the nerf I was earning a nice bit of exp and having fun leveling for once in years. I was playing the game I wanted to and progressing though it. IT WAS FUN! Now with the nerf to exp gained it just feels unproductive.

Please, please, please change the exp gain from battlegrounds back. Questing is not fun and it's hard to find groups for instances while leveling, even on my server which has quite a high population.

Infact I want to gain more experience though BGs. AV had the right amount of exp gain, but WSG, AB, etc... didn't and many people didn't bother with those unless it was to fill some time untill another AV was up.

There was nothing wrong with leveling in BGs. It won't stop people leveling by questing because questing was always faster and didn't require team help. Also the money gain from quests will still make people level that way. But for the players who enjoy pvp and don't really need the money from quests it was a great and fun alternative. Please give us more exp from battlegrounds again!

I can't think of a negitive thing about leveling in battlegrounds and why you felt the need to nerf it. Finding out about the exp nerf was a shock to me, I honestly can't think why you did it.

On topic, we have recently implemented a change that increases the experience gained in all Battlegrounds substantially. While the experience gained in Alterac Valley may not be exactly the same as what it was prior to 3.2.2, players should be noticing experience gains in all other battlegrounds has increased quite a bit. We continue to monitor Battleground based experience gains, and will continue to adjust or tweak the numbers where we feel that it is needed.
