This is something that is needed to capture the attention of some of the less hardcore players. A sense of progression and a goal that you get regardless of your play which does not affect actual gameplay any.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh...

really though, its the same thing as counting wins for portraits ....... now they just give you

x experience per game ........ and it takes 1000 * x to get the best portrait


Blizzard smart y0

Then we'll model the xp gain as a curve and at regular intervals we'll call them "levels"

awwwwww Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

That's exactly it. They're finally starting to understand perception of their players. A lot of complaints were made about D3's Auction House being mandatory to upgrade gear, even though the gear drop rate was similar to D2. Now that the AH is the easiest way to get gear people feel it's the only way to get gear which isn't true but it feels that way. The Custom Maps suffered from the same thing. By adding a "Most Popular" games list people only play those because they know people are playing them and they require no effort to find.

big difference to how it is now

so what can i dowith exp,?

But having a "Most Popular" list means that unless blizzard creates a new game, small games like maybe a new Line Tower Wars will not get any recognition. We will be and have been stuck with the same games for the past 9 months+.
