I was just in a 110 BG, and there was a Horde hunter with ilvl 254. He/she had 38 KBs in that BG!! The second highest was 9 KBs. Is this a situation someone simply not hitting 111 yet, or have some players figured out how to circumvent the XP off system?
My understanding is XP = Off means no twinks in regular BGs as of 8.1.5. Am I missing something?
That just means that you also have BFA, hence the merged Expansion account.
The BFA gearing system will offer you much better choices, including three slots of AZ gear.
Dungeons, Quests are highly recommended.
Cool story. I had 138 kills in an AV once in the 80-84 twink bracket back in MoP with this toon. Loved getting those expensive blue MoP rare drops that were equippable at 81-84 ilevel (I’m still wearing them right now). Those BoEs cost a fortune but were worth it. I was one shotting groups with Chain Lightning. Then Blizz did their item squish and killed the bracket
Two ways to twink in XP on BGs that do not use any exploits:
Be 110, don’t buy BFA–get good gear. You’re XP on with levelers
Be 20, don’t activate your subscription–get good gear. You’re XP on with the levelers.
Other than that, people are either slow-rolling XP or just levelers that care to gear up. A few are using the exploit, but not many and that will get fixed.
