Just saying, maybe that sort of thing was never intended? Even more so if, say, people might grossly exploit that by queue-leaving a few games? Not even going to consider people creating a character, doing the above, deleting, and repeating the process - in an instant level 80 server...
Maybe something will change further, but I personally wouldn't ever dream that it would come back exactly the way it was. I mean, if the idea was to let people get that much in a week by not even really playing the characters, why wouldn't there be an NPC that gives max Honor with a click?
PS: Blisterzz kinda beat me to it on that point by seconds.
