AV is the fastest way to earn honor points, provided neither side decides to turtle. Regardless of which BG weekend it happens to be, AV is always the best honor/hour you're going to get, especially if your side wins a lot in your battlegroup.
If you have the marks to spare (more than what you need to get the gear you want) then the repeatable is a fast/easy way to get some extra.

LOL! QQ....
Report afk's early before they go inactive. If they go inactive, they can't be kicked. Otherwise, it's the same on both sides. I hate looking and seeing 10 purple dots on the map. That just makes me mad. It should be auto kick, not inactive status.
Anyways, win or lose, AV is usually faster. If you win a lot, AV is always fastest. Just make sure they guard towers/bunkers and don't leave them "swinging in the breeze" so to speak.
I run into the same problems all the time. Once of the reasons why I'm gearing ret after being holy for so long. Being one of the few active peeps on the map, having to rely on THEIR dps sucks.

That must have been a long day. I grinded a premade that 4 capped EotS every round and made a 6-7 minute battle every time, and we weren't making much honor compared to av wins. I think i made 8k that day in EotS thru about 6 hours if I remember right (down time finding peeps to replace drops always sucks). Off AV, you HAVE to own to get even close to the honor av makes. Destroying the other faction in every round. WSG is the worst IMO. You can be good and still have a half hour round that gets you a lowly 183 honor + HK's.

My battlegroup is addicted to long AVs, apparently. Both sides have this stubborn resistance to just quickly getting it over with. Horde loves to cause turtles, and Alliance seems incapable of ignoring the Horde jamming up the bottlenecks and capturing southern graveyards.
Which of course means all 40 of us are spawning in DB, and this leads to a great number of 45-minute-long Horde victories. They love to laugh about this, but are too abysmally dumb to realize they're gimping their own honor gain for 3 seconds of bragging rights before everybody clicks Leave Battleground and the cycle begins again.

So, let me get this straight.
The horde have been gimped and nerfed SO MANY TIMES by Blizzard in AV, and even with this last huge nerf that puts us at the arse-end of the map we can STILL find ways to win... but that makes us Abysmally dumb.
Got it.
Thanks.

Oh, absolutely. Fantastically, sparklingly dim-witted. A 45-minute battle for 400 honor. Just think about that, and then realize that they do it on purpose every single game. Alliance prefers to rush to the end, get the battle over with, win or lose... win lesser bonus honor but be able to do four AVs in the time it takes one retarded Horde turtle.
So yes. Horde are bloody stupid, and too shortsighted to see past their own leetness.
P.S. At least they are on Bloodlust, where I play.

I play horde on bloodlust. And if you don't like the slow honor generation from AV, you need to go to EOTS. The horde in bloodlust at the 70 bracket lose more than they win in WSG, AB, and EOTS (EOTS, horde almost never win), so you have to give them AV. If that's what it takes for them to win, so be it.

well at least at Vindication, Horde always overrides, it finished 580-0 once...
i really love their efforts on AV but in eots we always lose and nobody knows why, im sure they r doing whatever they can.

I don't want to give the impression that Alliance is any smarter - they're most certainly not - but rather to imply that Horde and Alliance are equally stupid in different ways.
Horde seem better able to get past the crowd and fight where it counts, namely
on the flag
, whereas Alliance seem to stop at the first sight of a Horde player and pour on the PvP.
Meanwhile, for whatever mysterious reason, Horde also seem to better grasp the concept of fighting as a group rather than as forty 1v1 fights. However, despite their ability to do this, they can't grasp the big picture, namely that the only reason any of us are there is to gain honor; you're harming yourselves and your teammates by dragging these things out for as long as you do.
In any case, AV is a different animal from the other BGs. I propose AV be treated as what it really is - an honor grind. It has the potential of being the shortest of any of the battlegrounds (except possibly WSG, if it's a steamroll victory) while simultaneously granting the most honor, even for a loss, if the towers are capped and Galv/Balinda killed. The whole thing can maybe take 10 minutes, but Horde repeatedly interferes and kills Alliance before any southern GYs are capped, leading to an enormous number of players on defense. Coupled with the Alliance's inability to just ride past, and some idiot horde capping Snowfall so everybody spawns in DB, it inevitably leads to 35 allies guarding Vann and 5 frustrated stealthers in the south, trying in vain to ninja a tower and yelling at our teammates to unstick themselves.
In summary... Only You Can Help Stop The Freaking Turtle AVs.
