AV has always been rigged for the Alliance. The developers must have honestly played Alliance back then. In addition to having the all around better class(bubble up on flag cap and laugh), it's just stupid how much of an advantage they have in this place. There's no way this design was accidental - our archers unable to do their own job as Alliance fight down below or freely cap the very tower they're supposed to be guarding. Meanwhile their bunker archers shoot us anywhere and off the flags because they actually have line of sight of them. The problem is that this is how Blizzard designed it, and changing it would mean ceasing to have any kind of retail authentic server... stopping an exploit script is one thin, but these other flaws would mean totally customizing entire classes or BG designs - unofficial balance changes. No one will stand for it, even if they improved the game.
But the main cause of us losing all day isn't the design. It's the players. They're so stupid and impatient that they just want to zerg SP every single match without having any defense at all. For Horde, this is suicide, yet they ignore any reason and do it every game all day anyway. Even though they lose probably 80%+ of matches doing this, they don't care and won't listen. Their justification of this is that they'd rather lose faster than have a match drag out. That's completely retarded because when you give the Alliance a win, they win, not you. Wins are worth more than loses(protip!). I shouldn't have to explain this, but it's becoming a daily chore because my faction has so many idiots on it. "Just let them win" is a common depressing sight in AV chat. Horde want to win fast or lose fast, which usually means losing, because it's damn near impossible to outrace Alliance in this heavily rigged BG. If it drags, half the raid will give up or go AFK. So fast or not, if you are Alliance, it's a WIN.
The Alliance must be loving all of this. I can only imagine how many were exalted in the first day and made a million honor from all these wins my fellow Horde so generously handed them. On the next weekly standing stats, Alliance are going to laugh so hard while Horde are going to go "Wtf happened?", being totally clueless as to why Alliance are leagues ahead in points. Ya, it's because you handed them matches day and night. News flash, it's better to turtle and drag a match than hand the enemy a win. They get more from wins than you do from losing. When will people ever understand this? Maybe after getting murdered on the first week of AV; Horde will stop being stupid.
