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.

Nice :)
Edit: Dammit 2nd -.-
Looks like if you turn experience gains ON you'll never have to see a twink again in your life <3
Edit again:
Anyone else feel like they're going to have a lot of alts with BoA equipment? :P

I like this change. Did you accidentally post it in the wrong forum section at first though? :P

There ya go, that's recognition that the twink playstyle is valid. Now can people stop crying about it?

Nah I think they do it to let everyone see it. General is probably the most popular forum.

Anyway, I like you can get Exp in the BG's now but you should also get exp from killing the opposite faction. WSG will be dead and AB will be packed because of the different ways you gain Exp.

It will be valid when this is in the game and only then.

I have quite a few issues with PvP in WoW, especially the very poor situation regarding match making (uneven BG teams more often than not is truly a massive fail that need to be adressed). However, all such grumblings aside, this is a very positive change. Not only because PvP is finally an option for leveling (assuming that the XP gain per hour is somehow comparable to grinding mobs) but because it's a great way to separate twinks from non-twinks.

I also think is this actually quite a creative solution. Props to whoever came up with this, give them a (completely heterosexual) kiss from me please.
