> Quests, Challenges & Explores give 1 XP to Champion Levels, all other battles (PVP, Arena & Events like Raid Boss) will give 2 XP

Sooo patch notes from 3.5 were not correct @Cyrup?  
The Arena is the ONE game mode that requires a hero to be used and is the ONLY game mode that doesn’t give hero XP?  
That’s the “intention” of the devs huh?  
Like y’all had a meeting, and said yeah… Arena shouldn’t have XP for classes…in fact let’s call it a bug even though it was featured in the notes. 🙄

> If you are referring to the issue where you were previously able to earn Class XP/Wins from Arena battles, this was not working as intended. So in 4.2.5. this no longer occurs.
