First off, ongratulations on doing your part in ruining 16 BGs. But honestly, I don't even know why anybody on the alliance would want to gear up right now. In most BGs I see 80% of the team with less than 400k hp buffed or just sucking so hard it hurts.
I'm ilvl 513 and lose about 80% of my BGs right now, despite topping the damage charts. 1-3 decent players can't carry an entire team of people who lack gear or intelligence or both.
On the other hand, I'm having a blast on my horde character, because the alliance right now is so bad that it's almost auto win. Seems like all bad players on horde side left for the other side.
Edit: on how to gain honor, I'd do the following: afk in BGs. I'd do exactly that and not even feel bad about it, because of the sheer amount of dumb players who are apparently trying their harders to ruin my gaming experience. Why would I feel bad ruining theirs? But that's just my take on it.
