The next patch for World of Warcraft will include significant new updates to PvP gameplay. One of these updates is the addition of two outdoor world PvP objectives. Although details of these features are subject to change during development, we’d like to provide you with a general idea of what to expect.

If you read the post better you would see its for a quest. So that means rep for owning hordes

In some ways it's easier for people who aren't good with BG's or arent experienced or just can't get a grp. On some servers that's the only way you can get honor is PvP grps, but this might change it up a bit.

I totally agree, and now with the cross server BG it is going to be a lot better instead of waiting for 5 Hour ques

I still wish you could get something better from killing others. PVP is good but its only for battlegrounds. Now in the wild pvp servers if lets say you randomly drop only ONE item that would be amazing. It would put such a great twist on wow and it would suffice for the people that just want to kill other players. Or maybe they code it so when you kill someone you actually gain alot of xp for it. But you can only gain xp once for killing that player and a low amount of xp if its from someone in the same guild or something along those lines. This way it stops xp hording via pk, but it allows a new twist.

I extremely agree with this, they should make it so what Rank you are drops EXP and not just a little (well yeah maybe for a Private or Grunt) but alot in the higher ranks like for a Grand Marshal or High Warlord make it like 15,000 EXP that would speed up ques by ALOT,

But, What if your char was a Twink? and you wanted to stay at level 29 but you also want to kill, Well I guess they could make it so you have to talk to the guy to turn in your EXP kills, say like you kill 2 High Warlords (the same one) so first you get 15,000 and then killing him again gives you 5,000 then you have a BG Exp bar and once it is full you go talk to the BG guy and turn it into EXP or maybe even Gold
