Yep, but it didn't work though. Because twinks didn't really want to fight other twinks..they just wanted to roll over less geared people. Blizz made it so that if you queued with XP off, you'd only face other people with XP off, and since that consisted of about 3 people, BGs never popped for those people, and serious twinking more or less died and kind of morphed into heirloomed vs non-heirloomed.
Wrong, there weren't enough twinks to go around. Waiting hours in a Q to fight anyone is apain. And frankly as a twink, I loved fighting other twinks. I could tell at glance if they were geared as well as me. I loved fighting other warriors wearing the stuff I was. It was a nice challenge. That may not have been the mentality of the "normal" twinks but just because someone's a twink doesn't mean they like to go smish less geared people. Come on, what is it when a lvl 85 rampages through STV? Oh wait...that's just PvP. My bad!
Ahem....not to side track stuff....
I like the faster leveling. I like being able to choose different zones as I level. I got to hate the westfall to redridge to duskwood to....see where I'm going? Same. Every time. And besides if you do hit 85 with out touching half the content, you can still go back and do it all.
Have to agree with Korrigan's "replayability" comment.

NOTHING is better than being able to completely skip the 50-58 debacle through BG's and LFD!!

I agree with the "replayability" aspect, for sure. There are still some lowbie zones I've never quested in yet.
Just personally, sometimes I want to finish a questline or keep running an instance for a particular piece of gear or something when it is still useful to me. Saying I can come back when I'm 85 or whatever just doesn't sound fun to me. Also, I didn't want to have to reroll to experience it either. I was just a little disappointed about that happening.
However, I didn't realize they had an Experience Off option, that totally solves the issue for me, and thank you again. I wish it didn't cost me 10g each time, but that's not all that much coinage these days either.
I will continue to spend the majority of my time gaining experience, but its nice to know should the occasion arise that I can turn off exp gain for a while if I want to continue running a particular instance or battleground at a particular level. I'm glad Blizzard incorporated this.

I leveled from 51 to 58 in AV during an AV weekend. It was great. I had some fun in AV and before I knew it I was 58 and going to out land.

Woah. I miss AV. Always have liked AV myself.

Well then nevermind... the whole discussion is moot.
I probably won't turn it off, at least not right now, but I'm very glad to know that I can!
/facepalm
EDIT: I apologize for my naivety.
No need to apologize. I'm glad the solution to your problem exists, and if you had not posted this thread you might not have known.
If you decide you want to turn it off a quick Google search for "turn off experience WoW" should point you to information on how to do so.
I have never done it myself, but it can definitely be done.

Yeah I found it. The guy's in Stormwind (for Alliance anyway) and his name is something like Bestahn Slahtz or something like that when pronounced out loud sounds like "best in slots". Costs 10G each time to turn it on and off.

Sorry to say, because I agree with most of your posts, but you're wrong. There were tons of twinks before the change. The reason the queue took forever is because only a minority were like you. If they had all converted to face other twinks, the queue times would not have been insane.
Agree with you on Korrigan's comment. Given the current state of the game (i.e. I don't want to pug anything right now), I find myself playing alts when my buds aren't available. I just completed Vash'jir for the first time this past weekend  .

You think that's fast try leveling in BoAs with the exp bump from your guild.

I found something else by accident.
