It’s hard out here for my rank 10 solo grind.
On top of that the cross faction spam is against ToS correct?
Edit: Why put hyperlink options when I cant include a link? I’m assuming there is an easy work around?

I gave up the rank 11 run on my hunter. I have zero desire to farm 800k+ honor a week. The most I can do w/o losing my mind is 350k, maybe a little more. I was ok with getting 10% per week in rank 9. But once, I started to lose honor with my normal 350k a week in rank 10. I gave up.
The button left of 1 makes them work.

think solo q is bad?
try it with a rigged map
AV is pretty bad, I agree.
look at those nice premades trash talking the pugs with cross faction chat that is against the ToS. What aholes. Seriously. That’s just so beyond enjoyable. Typical trash. Hey Blizz, you gonna act on that?
This is why people are advocating to seperate the queues cause that sort of behaviour really ruins the entire game for a large %.
How much time/day are you putting in? What are you queuing, what sort of honor per hour are you aiming for, and what rank are you currently?
I’m asking because I’m also interested in pushing for rank 10 from currently rank 5 (though of course, different servers will have differences, and there seem to be a lot of people pushing rank on Faerlina).
You want to know what I’m doing. I’m literally in AV queues from 11am to about 3am. I get 5 /6 matches a day. I’m making about 250k a week from this. It’s a slow process.
I’m only able to do this due to the time off I have cause of covid. I literally just let my character stay idle for hours a day. I keep hitting the spacebar so it doesn’t afk out. During my long queue times I do other things. Clean the house, eat, even do quick shopping trips. I will not queue ab/wsg. I will not give these griefers any honor for that behaviour. They wonder why pugs aren’t queuing. Look at that douchebag Lolzar in AB’s screenshot. I’m at the point now that since people are being so hard on solo queuers, we should all just stop queueing entirely.
The game is well on its way to win trading, and nothing is being done about it. If you speak out about it, you’re flamed, and trolled by people who refuse to see our points. The average menality here is clear. Premade or GTFO. Zero willingness to compromise, and help keep the community healthy. This isn’t pvp. This is trash.
I’m rank 8 90% right now. I have a few more weeks to go, then I’m no longer going to be this insane about it. Will queue once in a while, but that’s it.
If I didn’t have all this down time, I would of unsubbed ages ago, and then resubbed in TBC.
I could likely do this as well, seeing as queue time is around two and a half hours, and I am currently working from home, and able to manage my own workload and hours. I could just sit in queue and do AV, my least favorite BG, but still… I have the luxury of being able to do that and also work.
That’s pretty impressive, and good to know that it’s possible, only queuing AV.
I think a lot of people are in the same situation. I really hope things get back to normal soon!
Yeah man. That’s pretty much what this is now. Keep up the hard fight man. When it’s over, you’ll be at least glad you achieved something so insane. 
I’m taking screenshots of all my ranks earned.
I have been working hard at getting Killing Blows, and I’ve spent quite a bit of money and time getting my rogue geared. I have 4/6 of the pvp gear, and it’s BiS enchanted. I aim to almost never die. I managed to pull off my first no death AV the other day. 18 Killing blows, and no deaths. Strive to never die dude.
Yeah. I think rank 10 is pretty much all there is for solo queuers. I say go for it.
Hey frosto. My main is a troll rogue named sleeze. I pushed and got rank 8 on him a while back and that required roughly 200k+ honor a week. I was averaging about 6-8k honor an hour I believe but this was during the AV meta. Which allowed me to afk a lot during Qs and play with my son/feed him. (He just turned 2)
This is actually my first week pushing again sense the meta has shifted from AV to WSG/AB. I don’t have all the data for an answer yet, but I got about 90k~ over the weekend and through monday night with prolly a solid 12 hours or so spent playing over those 3 days (to much playing honestly I have a wife and kid lol). PUGs seem better on weekends due to premades not Qing anymore.
These are just rough numbers. I was able to go for about 2-3 hours today during my kids nap and my wife watching him for a bit and got I think around 12k honor. I’d have to log back in to check but we are about to go for a walk and then dinner and a movie so I doubt I’ll be back on.
That being said its a big difference between Qing on the weekend where I can get probably 8k an hour pugging and maybe not even 4k an hour on a weekday. (Thanks premades). I’ll let you know after this week where I stand and how much it requires to jump a rank. I just reinstalled honor spy as well. Hope this helps 
edit: I’ll also add that I dont enjoy doing AV anymore. I got exalted on this guy and my main a long time ago. The way that BG is right now is horrendous. I enjoy skrims like 1v1 2v2 and the the team fights that break out in WSG/AB over the zerg fest that is horde tilted in AV. I only did 2 AVs over the weekend.
What will happen though is our Rank 10 gear will be so under powered when Naxx comes out. Get it now while you can use it. For me, once it becomes really hard to get any kills, I’ll be phasing out PvP until TBC.
After my R10, I’ll be farming gold for epic flying, stocking up on stuff, and leveling my Resto Druid for Arena! Goals are good. Set your sights on attainable stuff. You’ll avoid burnout, and continue to have fun.
We can do this!
Well my point isnt to just get gear that is outdated come naxx. It’s a goal with gear as a side effect.
After my rank I will go back to raiding on my main, and perhaps switch mains to this toon come AQ/naxx. I was a gladiator in BC and cant wait for arena, but classic is not all lost like you seem to think.
You know with AV weekend approaching I’ve been dabbling in AV. Armed with just my shadow bolt, life tap, fancy footwork and my many years of experience I make my way to the top of the charts like a true pro. I’m half asleep the next game though.
But when you do premade it’s either your premade or the other premade who goes away without a fight… what happens when there is only premades lol
I often suspect it will be endless win trading and no actual fighting. Just cap, get marks repeat. Bet they could organize it and figure out a system of who wins each match. Knowing this scene, they’d probably all be on ONE discord taking turns.
Seems to be what PvP has turned in to.
I guess the only way to really fix the problem is to remove all the gear rewards. Then only people who actually pvp for fun remains
Elitism has sucked all the life out of a game I fell in love with back in 2006.
Caps are much lower nowadays. I am currently successfully chasing my rank 11 mount on my mage.
just wait for naxx to come out so no one PvPs anymore and the real PvPers can play.
