    PvP frontline experience stealth-nerfed

    What's the deal with the stealth mega-nerf to the experience rewards from the Frontline daily challenges? Previously they would give a nice big chunk of EXP, approximately 30%-50% of a bar (More if you are below level 50), but now with patch 5.3, the last 2 I ran (Today and yesterday) gave maybe 6% of a bar. The nerf wasn't mentioned at all in the patch notes. Not cool.

    Tested it since 5.3 and I agree... the EXP seems way lower then it used it be. My friends are talking not doing Frontline Roulette anymore till it comes back to where it's suppose to be.

    Maybe that was becaus SE wanted to get people into Onsal Hakair since that was the only map for daily pvp roulette. Now that it is no longer the only map they reduced the EXP.

    The "bonus xp for using the roulette" was removed, and yeah, kind of a bummer.

    It might be bugged instead of intentional. Can't say it for sure unless SE makes a statement on it, though.

    Do a bug report; see if they fix it.

    If it was intentional, weren't people constantly complaining about players AFKing in PvP just for the EXP? Perhaps that's why.

    If that's the case, we can't really have it both ways. Either we all get easy EXP or no one does.

    You get people who queue and don't play or you get people who don't queue and don't play. There's no winning other than SE making PvP actually fun to play for the broader audience. It would probably require considerable resources and a complete overhaul, so I don't see that ever happening.

    More exp that is, on its own, unrelated to pvp is what makes it fun?

    That doesn't really add up to me. If you need an incentive to play pvp (exp, tomes, etc.), maybe you need to go play something else.

    I was saying that the PvP is so bad that the broader audience doesn't want to play it unless they have an incentive like EXP. For that matter, i don't even play PvP at all in this game myself unless I am trying to earn something, like with the Garo mounts awhile back. I go and subscribe to WoW, or even ESO's PvP if I want that. I hate ESO though.. ever since I got a warning, so really just WoW for me if I want mmorpg PvP.
