there's a quest you get in the military ward in IF which asks you to participate in a battle in each of four battlegrounds. we (alliance) won all four that i attended.  Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin, and the Netherstorm one (i forget the name) each awarded somewhere between 50-100 honor points.  they were 20 minute battles & i did my fair share of fighting.

Alterac Valley consistently gives 100-200 points when your side loses, and 400-600 when your side wins, if you do your fair share of fighting & objective taking/defending.  that's assuming you get to start at the beginning of the battle, rather than join a battle that's already in progress & might be near the end.

AV battles usually also take about 20 min, though some of them can take an hour or more.  most of the time it's fairly quick.

well if av gives someone who plays 12 hours a day more honor than any other BG then wouldn't it make sense for av to give someone who plays 2 hours per day more honor than any of BG? use your brain...

where do you spend honor points?
