If Blizz completely levels the playing field of PvP
If Blizz completely levels the playing field of PvP and PvE gear (which I'm really hoping happens soon) it would make perfect sense for Honor gear to have the same item level and attainability as LFR and likewise for Raid and Conquest gear.
Right now if you want a full honor set as a horde on my realm, you've gotta wait a good amount of time to wow gold get into a BG where you'll get okay points if you win and almost nothing if you lose (which is at least 50/50 depending on what time of day you queue). It takes a couple of weeks of playing a good 4 or more hours a day to get that gear - and it has the same item level of Timeless gear ... which you get from opening a box.
I can also get a nice LFR piece with an item level higher than that in about 1/2 an hr.
