Unpopular opinion, but I lowkey enjoy having 30 min long queues. Mainly because it allows me to go farm nodes, world pvp, and finish some side quests while ganking lowbies.
Then when the que pops, it rubberbands me back to town so i can re-que again. Also, the other 2 battlegrounds i qued before hand, are 5 minutes apart because i was already waiting an hour in queue while playing the other bg, so by rotating bgs, i dont really wait the full 50 min, its more of a 5 min wait time if that. Not sure why people are complaining, the honor is more open world anyway (12hp for solo kill vs 4 for group kill).
Thats a positive ratio. Especially considering im doing arenas in greens and blues, not a single peice of raid gear. Wait till i start getting resil gear
