BG XP nerf?

[gitcho]

From the BlizzCon Q&A Panel via mmo :

Player vs. Player

• XP in Battlegrounds need to be fixed because there is a lot of XP leeching in the 71-80 Brackets. Once it's fixed, it will be improved across the board.

Lvling my toons in the 71-80 bracket has given me renewed interest in the game ... don't know if I could handle going back to northrend quests having done it once already.

lots of talk in AV this week about a nerf hitting today .... Anyone have more info on this?

Not sure, I just hope it is not real bad! Me and my guildie was in AV with our 5th shamans we are leveling up. Mine hit 73 and his hit 75 in AV last night. OMG it was sooo fun! We were taking the south towers and killing Drek by ourselves with 5xEarth and 5xFire eles and major PEWPEW!!

As long as the exp nerf is not too extreme, Ill keep doing it. FUN!

hold up - u could take drek with 5 rock ele's? no tank? all u did was rush to the base, cap the 2 towers, and blow ur CD's on drek? did u heal the elementals? how many dps were there?

I've got 5 spriests @ 79 and will drop them now for my 5xshamans @ 72 if this is do-able without having to wait for a tank + everyone else! 'splain more!

He did it with 10 total (2 5 box groups) but yes - I've done this a lot back in the BC days. My shaman group is still leveling up - did a mixed group first this time around. But with that much focus fire drek would die pretty quick.

dont believe everything u read on the internet..

Exactly! 10 shamans+10 elementals=dead drek+0 tanks. We did it with one tower uncapped as well a few times.

Back to the original question at hand. Has anyone been able to confirm for us if Blizzard nerfed the BG Exp? Servers should be coming up about now unless they messed something up (totaly possible ). Stuck at work and wont know till this evening so kinda anxious to find out before then. someone please post on it. (im most concerned about the 71-80 bracket. I have been averaging 80k-100k exp per win... 18.5k per tower cap or boss kill.

WTB ur fraps! ... man I wish i could take all my toons on my 5 accounts to another server to hang out with some other boxers ... would cost me a fortune

hope nothing changed overnight..

I'm currently powerleveling my brother and dad with RAF up to 61, and adding in a couple new toons myself. 1-61 is like a 10 hour grind, no problem at all. From 61-71 we were going to do a combination of instance boosting and AV's when we wanted....

71-80 was going to be entirely AV. I hope it doesnt' get nerfed into the ground.
