Battleground XP! leveling?

They've mentioned the BG exp would be for objectives only, not for HKs. Therefore, until you hit level cap, don't expect to be healed when you carry the flag. Healers will watch you die so they can pick up the flag and run it. Flaw found.

Im pretty sure that everyone will benefit from the flag cap not just the carrier.

I would imagine the xp would be bg wide not just for the person capping.

I would imagine that, or i think how it will work will be kinda like honor.. You have to be kinda close the person dieing (or the "objective" whatever they may be... happening..)

I would assume there would be experience giving to like flag caps,,, wins.. Maybe things like the achievments.. i dunno

O and to answer your post about the flaw..

1. at the lower levels.. remember most of us are 4-5 boxing shamans.. we are healing ourselves!..
2. if they said the xp giving will be just a bit slower than the xp giving if u were doing straight quests.. there would be no way this could be matched if the only person who puts the flag in at the end recieves this Xp.
3. I think this is gunna revive a lot of pvp BG, and people will not just screw around in them, because if the team capturess the flag they will gain xp.. more interested = more quality of play.. hopefully

[i]Based on that, players can expect to earn experience at a rate that is
a bit slower than questing at the same level, for the same amount of
time.

Edit: Also, something else for people who didnt read the link.

Cory Stockton: We plan to deliver more Battlegrounds
to the players as often as we can. We see Battlegrounds as a very large
and important part of the World of Warcraft PvP game and we would like
to expand the system as much as we can. I do have a little tidbit that
I can share with you guys today, though. We are planning to implement
rated Battlegrounds in a future patch. We will be giving more details
on this system at BlizzCon.

I'm glad to hear this as running the same few BG's for years has gotten pretty old. I would love, LOVE, to see more AV style BG's. Personally I like AV the best out of all the BG's because it combines both PVE and PVP, sure it could probably use a bit more of a reason to pvp alittle bit more, but I usally see quite a bit of pvp in AV.

wow thats a awsome quote.. I was thinking maybe the xp might be like 1k per win or something retarded.. But now that there is a quote that it says at a rate a little slower.. That still means i can do this.. thank god. im soooo done with questing in wow thats why i quit

One thing I'm wondering about as far as the xp rate being just a bit slower than questing is, What xp/hr rate do they consider questing to be at? Some people quest ALOT slower than others. Having played this game for 4 years I can quest extremely fast, so I'm just curious whose questing xp rate they are comparing it too? Noobs questing? Veterans questing? or a happy medium?

I almost certainly imagine that it would be xp for everyone in the BG. If not, then that would be the stupidest implementation I could possibly imagine Blizzard doing. It would be like only the person who caps the flag now gets the honor from it, or on the person who gets the killing blow on drek/vann or even HK's gets the honor from it. No one would ever be working together.

To thoose who enjoy pvping as a multiboxer this must be the best change ever..

Doing pvp from 70-80 will make you sit on ALOT of pvp gear when you hit 80, not to mention marks! You can buy all the gear that doesnt require rating or arena points before you hit 80 so you wont have to worry about reaching the honor cap either.

This will be really annoying for the faction on a battlegroup that never wins. They will probably get really bad xp also. Horde on my battlegroup can never get their crap together. I see alot of AV farming since even the loser can get decent points in there.

They better give xp to the loser as well. I hate being on a BG that loses all the time, sucks bad enough honor wise.

Im also worried that people will be more interested in certain objectives than winning the game if the objective rewards xp. I hope they implement this well.

With the mount changes, it would be great to open AV doors to at least lvl30+
What do u guys think? Big problem always was the ability to move fast in such a big BG, but now, i think it would be great to reduce the lvl in wich u can enter this bg.
I know i would farm AV with low levels whenever i got tired of my shamans :D
