BGs are much, much more boring at level 70 than they ever were at 60. I think it's a combination of the arenas being an incredibly fun alternative form of PVP, the sta changes making everything seem to take alot longer, and how much of a goddamn grind it is to gather all the honor for the insanely good honor items, which are pretty much required for arenas unlike the pre-TBC honor system that served no real purpose.
I went into AV on a 51 paladin the other day though and genuinely enjoyed it. Felt alot more like the older AVs, much slower paced than the 70 bracket.
ya i agree pre xpac raiding, for most classes anyways, was the best way to gear up for pvp
its not hard to grind honor now, that fast paced alterac valley that you dislike at 70, is the easiest way to honor grind, during av weekends you can easily make 10k+ honor a day, if you are sick and sit at the computer all day i'm sure 30k can be made in a day
with casual play you can easily get your boots, bracers, belt, ring, neck, trinket, and cape in 2-3 weeks
at any rate ppl shouldnt bitch its way easier to get pvp rewards with this system, its not like you have to maintain rating in pvp anymore like before, pvp when you want to if you want gear, seems pretty fair
