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.
Taken from the US forums.*
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.

Yes thank you now do EU please. I can level my alts again without doing the same boring quest over and over.
Now fix queue time by redesigning battlegroups to even the population.
P.S. This obviously isn't fixed on our realms but crossing fingers and waiting....

It should be pretty close, and as for the other battlegrounds, it will be better, more rewarding in terms of XP than ever before.
Challenge the rock! Challenging.. death! Why do I climb the mountain? Because I'm in love.

YES! YES! YES!
Q u o t e: Deathgrip doesnt work on a warrior when they are whirlwind/bladestorm/wtf ever that move is called. I dont play a warrior. Know what your talking about before you open your mouth.

Now little blue man tell me when will Vindication BGrp get its fix? Even after the rolling restarts at 13:00 we still have bad and even unavailable queue times.
Fix our BGrp once and for all.

3.2.2 After waiting for 1hr 10 mins for a EotS as a hordie we faced 6 Alliance and made them a bloody stain.
I think at least the better exp from non-AV is already in the game. At least my priest alt is getting alot more exp from capping flags in WSG.

Q u o t e:
"We have also made it so the experience bonus from heirloom items works properly in battlegrounds but the overall experience gained from competing in Alterac Valley has been intentionally reduced as we felt it was too rewarding compared to the other battlegrounds. "
and now this.
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."
Sure and this change had nothing to do with the massive outcry from the players.
Q u o t e: It is still reduced even after the hotfix. So, the reduction was intentional, but a reduction by 50% was not intentional. There is no contradiction.
Right and that would tie right in with there little excuse wouldn't it, bearing in mind XP gained in BG's was always based of the percentages of each level. (which is why you got a different amount of xp per objective at 72 than say 71) Which contradicts -
"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"

All battlegrounds award experience when the team completes objectives. Experience gains are percentages based on the total experience needed to level for a player.
* Destroying a tower or bunker awards roughly 1.16% of a level.
* Defeating Galvangar or Balinda awards roughly 1.16% of a level.
* Winning the match awards roughly 1.55% of a level.
* Players are awarded an extra 0.78% for every remaining tower or bunker their team still has when the match is over, regardless of win or loss.
* Successfully rescuing a Wing Commander awards 0.39% of a level.
