WoW Traditional PvP gamers who select to not achieve XP from participant vs participant fight in World of Warcraft’s battlegrounds will not be positioned right into a separate pool of gamers in Wrath of the Lich King Traditional. This variation will doubtless be massively welcome information to 1 phase of the MMORPG’s participant base, preferring to keep away from expertise good points as they want to compete in a selected level-locked bracket.
As described in a blue put up from developer Pazorax on the WoW Traditional discussion board, “the flexibility to earn expertise from PvP was initially added to encourage individuals who get pleasure from PvP to do battlegrounds as a part of their leveling up expertise.” Nevertheless, the group realised that this transformation brought about issues for one explicit set of gamers.

Subsequently, an choice was applied to permit gamers to refuse the XP good points awarded from PvP matches. Nevertheless, this launched its personal downside. “Initially it was determined that these two teams shouldn’t play in the identical matches with each other,” Pazorax explains, “however the results of this resolution was that neither group had sufficient gamers to seek out matches, defeating the purpose of each techniques.”
In consequence, gamers of the identical degree will now be matched up once more in Wrath of the Lich King Traditional, no matter whether or not they have expertise good points enabled or disabled. This would possibly make life a bit harder for many who are simply seeking to earn some expertise taking part in informal battlegrounds matches, solely to run into veteran level-locked gamers with optimised builds for that exact degree. Nevertheless, Pazorax notes that “it’s extra enjoyable to play a sport with individuals of unequal capabilities than it’s to not be capable of play in any respect.”
