3.3.3 = less exp in BGs

[Joker76]

I haven't been leveling much, mostly farming so I only had the chance to test AV a couple times since the patch. Here were my findings;

Levelbot - about 100k/ hour at level 70
Mixed-AV - about 82k/ hour at level 70

When I leveled my hunter pre-patch, I had much better results with Mixed-AV.

Anyone else notice any differences?

from a Blizz poster

"There is a change going into patch 3.3.3 that will double the amount of Honor gained for completing objectives in Battlegrounds. Because experience gains directly correlate to the amount of Honor gained for completing such objectives, the change would double the amount of experience gained. While we do want to double the Honor gained to make obtaining PvP gear through Battlegrounds more on par with the rate at which players can obtain PvE gear via the Dungeon Finder, we are happy with the current experience gain rate and do not want it to change. For this reason we're decreasing the experience awarded by 50%. The net result is the same.

As an example, here are some made up numbers for completing a Battleground objective:

Current - 300 Honor, 500 experience

Increase Honor gains by 100% in 3.3.3 - 600 Honor, 1000 experience

Decrease experience gains by 50% in 3.3.3 - 600 Honor, 500 experience"

Thanks Tony. I guess that makes sense because experience is proportionate to the amount of honor you earn for kills and objectives.

Hmm, maybe I just had some bad luck with the groups I was getting.

Will test it again to see if the results differ.

hmm.. i didn't understood the new EXP/Honor spreading. I just know that i get ~25k EXP per Battle with my 70 WLock . Botted the whole day in WSG and got the half EXP Bar filled.^^
