The queues on Vindication, my particular battlegroup, haven't really been affected by the implementation of the random system which surprised me somewhat. I had been expecting much shorter queues since players would now be streamlined into games against each other rather than queueing for particular battlegrounds. Queues averaged around 6 minutes, which is the norm for whatever the 'daily' battleground used to be before the new system.
The drastic difference was the honor earned. For a win in Eye of the Storm as my random daily battleground I was awarded slightly over 6,000 honor, a huge increase from the old 1,400 that you could eke out in a really action packed win. This was factoring in the additional 3,700 honor now awarded with a win to the bonus honor earned from player kills (in this case boosting ~1,400 honor to more like 2,300). Requeueing would yield an additional 1, 862 honor per win and 621 per loss if done under the random system.
This will have a marked achievement on the experience of new players that are trying to grind honor in order to get arena off-set pieces or trinkets. This process should now be much quicker and much less painless. All in all after spending a few hours using the new BG finder, I think that it is a vast improvement over the old system -- it reduces the honor grind which was frankly excessive, and does away with the cumbersome marks of honor which can now be turned in for 185 honor a piece 10 at a time in a process painful of itself.
Players frustrated by low honor gains and slow queues should give the new system another chance, it really is a significant improvement.
