Although many people would enjoy the few hour to day long alterac valley bgs, not everyone would enjoy it. Many people like to do other things during their day, hince a tip that world of warcraft puts on their loading screen, "Take everything into moderation, even world of warcraft." If people recieved 400 honor for a hours worth of pvping, It would be absolutely hated. But if they made it so people would recieve a lot of honor during it, it wouldn't be fair for the people who wouldn't get in them, because they wouldn't be getting honor World of Warcraft Gold when they are sitting in que, and if they don't get alterac valley. Also, if you want to leave AV during the long fight, the 15min deserter buff would be a disappointment when you couldn't que for a different battleground. Thus blizzard would have to make a seperate que for a seperate alterac valley, and I do not see that happening in the many days ahead.
