Welcome to 'blizzlike' experience (jk)
2 hours of av 3 k honor (8 games lost)
2 hours of any other bg 500 honor (8 games won)
INB4 u don't get it,i do get it.Honor gain in AV is different than honor gain in other bgs,but still it should not be 2500 honor difference,and i do not remember this being case on retail,because it wasn't.
I remember gearing myself pretty fast,with nowhere instant queues,and 43% win ratio.
But to answer everyone's question,if they boosted honor gain,there would be no need to buy pvp items in the store.
For 15 days,8 hours a day i bought 6 pvp items.(weapon,shield and chest i got for coins) ( 80% of my games were AV)
I play only pvp and nothing else,i usually afk 2 minutes in between bg's,depends on how long game it was,but most of the time i re queue moment i leave bg.
Casuals who play 3 hours a day would spend 5-6 months gearing themselves.(keep in mind not everyone plays pvp every day,and keep in mind not everyone spent their game time in bg's.
Same story on every other server.Rest assured you gonna get crippled if there's donations available,which is every server now.
This is no surprise.For them this server is business,for us its just a game.There's nothing wrong with money making.
