WoW Classic PvP players who choose not to gain experience in PvP battles in World of Warcraft Battlegrounds will no longer be placed in a separate player pool in Wrath of the Lich King Classic. This change is likely to be very good news for a segment of the MMORPG player base that prefers to avoid gaining experience because they want to compete in a specific pool based on level.
As described in a blue post from developer Pazorax on the WoW Classic forums, “The ability to earn experience in PvP was originally added to encourage people who like PvP to engage in Battlegrounds as part of their experience.” However, the team realized that this change was causing problems for a particular group of players.
PvP communities have formed around certain levels in WoW PvP, often because players particularly value balance at a certain level, or because it reminds them of the experience they had when they first played. One specific example cited in the article is Warsong Gulch Level 19 – unsurprisingly, this includes a subset of players competing against highly optimized level 19 character builds.
Therefore, an option has been implemented that allows players to opt out of gaining experience gained in PvP matches. However, this brought its own problem. “Initially, it was decided that these two groups would not play the same matches,” Pazoraks says, “but the result of this decision was that neither group had enough players to find matches, which made both systems meaningless. ”
As a result, players of the same level will be matched again in Wrath of the Lich King Classic, regardless of whether experience gain is enabled or not. This can make life a bit difficult for those who just want to earn XP by playing random matches in Battlegrounds, only to run into limited level experienced players with builds optimized for that particular level. However, Pazoraks notes that “playing the game with people of unequal abilities is more fun than not being able to play at all.”
