I ran my first BGs today after reading the posts in this thread. Been playing for almost a year and it was the first time I stepped into a BG....

Loved it!

It was awesomely chaotic and everybody charging out was the gate opened was a blast. I got the last 7 bubbles to get my druid to 75 in what felt like no time at all. I'm sure I'll do at least one or two more levels in AV before heading back up to Northrend.
