Really? I thought they are disabling them completly (or at least the experience bonus part) to make race for first lvl85 Worgen/Goblin on server "fair",

Err...I worked hard to get my BoA gear,so its fair to me.
Yes, but it's not fair to the people who roll goblins / worgen without BoA gear.

Uh, sure it is. We all ready paid our dues, leveling at the very least one character to 80. Add to that the countless heroic runs to farm currency for the BoA items, I'd say that there is no "unfair advantage."
If the first lvl 80/85 Goblin/Worgen used BoAs, kudos to them they earned it. Besides, you know that some people are going to be spending 8 hrs + at a time leveling their new races in hopes of getting that world / realm first. Those people, whether they have BoAs or not, will still level very fast. It comes down to how much time you have to level, and there are hardcore WoWplayers that will ding 80 the first week of the Cataclysm, because they are achievement ^&*!@s and that is what they do.
I doubt people playing WoW for the first time, rolling Worgen or Goblin for their first toon, will be worried about world / realm firsts.

This is pretty much the issue right there. The only people who would give a darn about getting world first in anything more than likely already have their BoA gear prepped and ready. Is BoA gear fair for getting world first? Well...yes and no.
The people with BoA worked their butts off to get those BoA, so a reward for their time is fair (granted the BoA are reward in and of themselves).
The people who did not do the work to farm the BoA on the other hand should still have a shot at getting a world first, and the XP bonus from BoA mostly disqualifies them from that race.
And yet...it's pretty much the most lifeless person who will get it BoA or not. I don't tend to throw around the worst "lifeless" to much, it's fairly derogatory, but the world first 85 for goblin and worgen WILL be lifeless since that's the only way they will even have a tiny shot at getting it :)

Why would BoA be an unfair advantage, but having an entire guild clear zones, run you through instances or help with quests is a ok. Not to mention that if blizzard allows goblins and worgan to start off as Death Knights then there is another 55 lvl advantage.
I'm pretty sure they are making it so that goblins/worgen cannot be death knights for the first two months or something like that. I know there was a blue post about it somewhere...but heck if I can find it now. Maybe I imagined it.

While you guys are worried about your BoA items,couldn't someone recruita friend, reroll a worgen and leveling with 300% experience? Don't need to buy a new expack and the recruited account cause the advantage of just getting to 60 within a day is more than enough to win the race.
Sure you need to do the starting area to learn about the worgen, blah blah blah, but you could have your friend leveling on the recruited account to stay even then just blow through.
