Battleground Queues 2/9/10

I was in the queue for Alterac Valley for over 3 hours tonight and never got called. Sadly this is becoming the norm. I queue for Alterac Valley as soon as I log in and then wait until I log off without getting into a battle, or on what has become a good day, getting into one. It wasn't like this last week and I am not sure what the problem is. Last week I was waiting no more than 20 minutes to get in.

I did get into one battle for Arathi Basin but as usual that was just a joke. We started off well, getting the Gold Mine, Stables and Lumber Mill, but then the typical Alliance stupidity took over and we lost them. At the very start of every battle it says "3 nodes needed to win". Seems pretty simple doesn't it? Get 3 nodes, defend 3 nodes, win. Evidently that is more then some people can comprehend. For some reason, and this happens in almost every battle, the Alliance has to go off in one's or two's and try to get more nodes. This leaves nodes poorly defended if there is anyone there at all to defend them or call incoming. I hate it when AB is my daily, the only way we seem to win in there is if we come up against a really, really bad Horde team.
