Battleground XP! leveling?

[Ogloo]

Hey, I read up yesterday that in the new patch, you will be able to get experience running BG's now. Hear is the quote from the wow site,

"Players will now be awarded experience for completing objectives and actions that yield honor in Battlegrounds (honorable kills not included)."

I am a pvp junky, and ive lost my interest in leveling atm with my shamans lvl (80, 73,73,73)
I am wondering once this patch comes out, if anyone knows if the xp accumulation will be sufficient enough to level (i know it would prolly be slower, but I would be gaining honor that I would use right when i dinged 80!!!)

Thanks alot!

I dont think we know yet, but i'm hoping its at least close to questing. if it is, then i'll be in heaven. if it takes like 2-3x as long...ill be sad.

i wouldnt care if it was 2 time more.. Like i would have capped honor for like 10 peices when i ding 80.. o wait no.. I can go more than cap.. I can just buy the pieces.. sick!! omg im excited

Its probly not gonna be that much, to prevent people from trying to level exclusively in bg's.

They said it would be close to quest exp....Let me find the quote


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.

Hmm rated bg matches, now that sounds awsome.. you get to play with other players who are good and dont have to worry about losing cause some stupid pug isnt listening or doing whatever he wants (usually what he wants is negatively affecting the match)

Im not sure how its supposed to work, but lets hope you get to choose your own team and dont have to roll with retarded pugs..

Unless your guilded i would expect it to be extremley hard to get a good rated team, im glad that i got a guild with only high rated players.

Well players on pvp servers shouldnt have much to worry about as most players on those servers are at least decent pvp'ers. Players on pve realms are gonna have it harder with all the care bears, and LOL at RP servers they were a joke before and even more so after this change goes thru.

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

Actually to me 99% of the pug players is pretty shit, i mean there are players who cant break 1700 rating in normal 3v3 and full pvp gear. Theese players always blame classes,gear,racials,comps even though there are players with the exactly same setup/specs 600 points higher.
