You mean the music in my head isn’t real?
Q u o t e:
Do you guys ever find yourselves reading threads and really, REALLY wanting to say something, but being unable to ?
Sure.
Why nerf Battleground xp?

Q u o t e:
It seems to me that the problem here is not with the math so much as with the way the patch note entry is phrased. The patch note entry currently reads "experience gains in Battlegrounds have been reduced by 50%." If it had instead read something along the lines of "experience awards for honor earned in Battlegrounds have been reduced by 50% to compensate for the increased honor gains," I think there would have been much less confusion.

Here is how the patch note currently reads. In order to be confused by it, you have to ignore all of the words before and after the snippet you took out of context. I’ll bold what you stated read as confusing and then bold the clarification to that statement which occurs in the very next sentence.
Q u o t e:
- The amount of Honor awarded for an Honorable Kill has been increased by 100% for characters of all levels.

Q u o t e:To correct the math impaired …
Current - 300 Honor, 500 experience
Increase Honor gains by 100% in 3.3.3 - 600 Honor, 500 experience
Decrease experience gains by 50% in 3.3.3 - 600 Honor, 250 experience
Notice that you increase HONOR. NOT XP as you said ….. ….. …..

First, I didn’t do the math or the programming. I do, however, know how the system works. I tried to keep it as simple as possible in this thread, but it’s actually even more complicated than I explained. Since you accuse me of having no mathematical skills, I’ll explain how exactly things are changing just for kicks at this point.
We are increasing the amount of Honor received from Honorable Kills by 100%.

Q. Due to Silverpine’s (and thus the worgen’s) proximity to Undercity, will we be seeing the Forsaken move?
A. The Undercity will still be home to the Forsaken. In fact, since Azeroth is now flyable, we went back and rebuilt the entire surface area of Lordaeron.

Q. If you could go back and redo or remove some feature that were added with WoTLK, what would it be and why?
A. I think the emblem system could be less clunky.
Limited Attempts didn’t really work out.
We always had some tension about what 10 player heroic should really be.
I’m only talking new features here.

Q. Will you give us more bag/bank slots and make us able to carry more bags at a time if i say please?
A. We will have larger bags in Cataclysm for sure. The real question is will you buy them from Haris Pilton?
Q. Will we get some info about the other zones revamped in Cataclysm, like Stranglethorn Vale or Tanaris?
A.

Q. Will new race/class combos be available before Cataclysm release (i.e. with 4.0)?
A. Nope, these will come with Cataclysm.
Q. What happened to the zone-wide buff in Icecrown Citadel? Did you trash that idea or is it coming in the near future before Cataclysm?
A.
