For 11 years, wether on retail or pserv, Vanilla players have ALWAYS simply found the best method for farming Honor, and used that method to achieve their ranks.
On every server previously, that method was just plain old Premading. And on every server previously, people that don't have insane amounts of free time, or don't have a strong team, or can't afford to keep up with being a tryhard and spamming consumables whine and complain non stop about how unfair the system is. The Honor System is not supposed to be fair, and high ranks are DESIGNED to be something that only a handful of players achieve.
Nostalrius made the mistake of listening to the same people that have whined for 11 years, and attempted to create a system in which these whiners don't have to fight premades. However they failed to understand that people premaded because it was the best method for farming honor. By forcing premades to wait in long queues only to fight drawn out stalemate games against each other, Nostalrius basically killed that method of farming Honor.
So, of course, players have naturally found the new best method for farming Honor, and the results of this method can be seen in the 100's of empty Battlegrounds daily, the extremely low honor caps for both factions, the increasingly low number of lifetime kills required to reach high rank, and the completely broken PuG queues.
Please revert these changes before PvP dies on this server.
