welp in the 50s losses get as low as 1-2% xp, wins get 8-15%
meanwhile a dungeon has been 30-70% depending on how many bosses and trash you did
wouldn’t advise staying in a sure loss if you are leveling, bliz made it worthless
unless you are having fun regardless

Yea, it’s extremely disappointing. I had no clue dungeons were giving so much xp in comparison.
I’m just doing BGs while leveling for the honor, I figure I’ll have to grind it now or later.

I haven’t noticed any difference in the amount of toxicity, defeatism, comradeship, or drive on my end. Maybe I’ll level an Alliance later this week and see what they’re up to tho.
You have to finish the campaign quests or else you cannot progress onto end game .

Careful for what you wish for. I already know your rebuttal and saying top low-level twink PvP is all about the competition. We all know that is BS and if twinks face other twinks and see it’s only gear that makes them faux good as PvP they will stop queueing and rage even more than casuals in PvP trying to level.

ill be playing capped 50 mostly but also for the first time ever dipping my nuts into endgame pvp. getting tired of players who are “glad on my main” refusing to duel me because i dont have any rated/arena cheeves. there will be nowhere to hide.
Since experience has been added to BGs, they’ve been the fun way to level rather than the efficient way. It should probably stay that way otherwise we’ll get leeches.
That said, yeah, those numbers still feel on the low side. Hopefully the bump it up a bit down the road.

I am nearly 55 too. Would have been higher except I lost 40 minutes during the arena fight at the second zone because Horde and Alliance decided to nuke it out in the middle of that chaos .
It’s only because you can buy gear with honor now, and if someone is going to lvl to 60 only in BGs and end up with a full set of T1 the moment they ding, they need to put in serious hours to compensate. You’re earning currency as well as XP now, so it’s gotta be balanced.
Then they should remove the honor currency below 60… I rather be able to level thru bgs than save up for gear at 60. With 0 honor currency, I’ve hit 60 and got half my honor gear in a couple hours. It’s not that hard

You can buy a full honor set with only 15k honor? If all you’re doing is BGs you’ll probably be at the honor cap by the time you’re 54 or 55.

I did it. 60’s in party sync get a stat template, pvp trinkets do not work (good thing I have the human racial) but they can use both covenant abilities in BGs. Once you have a lvl 60 all your alts learn covenants straight away so levelers will also being using them in the 51-59 bracket.

Honestly, I think PVE XP is too high. I don’t mind where the XP is at for PVP. Especially when doing alts and you have threads of fate. Do WQ’s between q’s and some side quests, get a bunch of honor so you can buy a ton of gear right when you ding 60, and you get your covenant abilities pre lvl60.
are covenants unlocked for all toons on the same bnet once a 60 unlocks or just that account?
