AV (bg) xp ! woot ! 500k xp/hour !

[DrChaos]

I tested this last night. I sttod in the opening of the cave on my 75 warrior and YES, i got xp for taking the towers. Every one that capped i got xp for. I often seen points for player kils too. im assumiong they were from players running into our bases and getting owned since its right at the bottom of the hill. So ya, you can get capping honor and the galv and drek honor from the starting area.

Until people report you as inactive.

I was looking up AV and que (premade) and found this (might be old) - just to funny not to post:

"This is...impossible with a server full of tards."
Don't I agree.

And yeah, don't just AFK through games, it hurts your team because so many people do it already, which only causes your team to lose and slows you down.

after this weekend I averaged around 5 hour levels so what is that like ~200ishk an hour. Not very good but better than anything else.

[Akera]

5 hour levels is ~300k/hour or more at 70+ as levels are in excess of 1.5m XP.

The thing about AV tho isn't so much the speed, more the convenience. Tho i've seen 700+k/hr on winning streaks. Problem is, it's possible to get 0 XP if your team really fails. So I find myself going /afk and waiting out the 15 minute debuff when it looks a 50 min AV fighting at the choke points is inevitable.

The only reason I do only AV to level in the 70s is that you end up with 3 pieces of deadly gear when you hit 80. Not too shabby. I just need to learn to AFK out if horde has a defense going.... seriously 15min debuff is not as bad as 1 hour turtle.

p.s. dont forget to do the insignia quest (trinket from AV that has 4 versions) it will give you about 100k free xp when its all said and done. Well worth the trip to Tarren Mill.

I've found some of the longer AV's to be the most fun.
Okay it slows levelling down, but I love big battles - and the encounters help me get better on my team.

Mind you I am one of those annoying turds that won't stop trying to the bitter end.
I got grief recently coz I admitted to wiping the alliance on Drek'thar.
I thought it was funny - yet they just wanted to lose and get on to the next match.

I mean it's, all very well getting honour and XP but you gotta have fun too.

I've been in enough BG's where we've won against all the odds to make it worthwhile.

5 hour levels are still quiet the grind. At least they seem like it too me. I have only been playing one toon so no turning the tide by myself.

I took a paladin from level 73 to level 77 sunday/monday. I am getting excited about the paladin getting close so then I can start doing heroics again.

I found that there is a little trick with Stonehearth Bunker. You can go in right behind the alliance flag and cap it without killing any archers. This really helps when you are level ~73 and can't do jack to help out.

There were several runs that I am pretty sure I got no xp so that does suck. I have been having fun going and taking mines by myself (actually helped us win a couple). Just a word to the wise just b/c you can level in AV doesn't mean it is going to be easy. Looking at 5 hours a level then you are looking at ~45 hours of playing AV. This can get old pretty quick. I am pretty sure I couldn't stand all the verbal abuse that one gets in AV for boxing.

LoL Im having a blast, I do my normal exp pulls at Black Temple while queing on my paliden then enter with just the Pal. Im 70 and a prot pal so I have more HP then anyone it seems. Or if someone attacks me with world pvp at the BT (level 80s only) I just keep everyone else in ghost and go to the AV with my Pal. Its fun so its not "grinding", can pvp all day for a level so what?

Ya I don't get many kill shots but I do a lot of damage (run into the enemy consecrate then bubble out heh), and I get to tank the boss mob.

Horde does the exact same thing every time, run to the tower kill mini boss, run to next tower, kill mini boss, fight across bridge kill big boss ....

Horde went 5-0 yesterday but I think we lost the last game which closed up at 3 am before it was done. I got like 4000 (3000 yeasterday about 600-700 each win) honor and 24 tokens or something I don't know where they are.

What are you guys talking about AFK? You here to play the game? If you are here to play then play to win not play to watch TV lol. A few more guys can turn the tide at the right time. Everyone can contribute to some extent but I guess if you are 71 agaist full gear 80 then well ....
