On my final push, I was seeing match after match completing in 45-90 minutes.I dropped in on a Terenas AV a couple of weeks ago, just to see how things are working now and was a little confused. There was no PvP, it was just a straight out PvE race to the generals. While I certainly haven't missed the six hour games of old, it was a little sad to see the complete lack of player on player encounters.
Generally the main forces would pass each other in the middle and race to each other's base. The losing force (usually Horde on Terenas) would at least get a kill of the captain plus several lieutenants and 2 towers. Primary rep gain is not coming from normal kills in that scenario. You're getting 200 or so an hour from objectives even if you lose.
Alliance has long queues and this becomes efficient honor for them in the PvP rank grind, Horde are just there for rep since AV is horribly inefficient for the honor grinders who are jumping in and out of WSG every 10-15 minutes. It works out good for both parties.
Nothing is a slower rep grind than a stalemate. You want to break that any way you can.

Mind you, that's easy for me to say when I already have exalted (on Stormscale). I know I would've hated having to grind through any more of those horrendous games that there used to be on Terenas.
I hate flags
