The Battle for Alterac Valley 2/18/10

I fought in a lot of battles for Alterac Valley in the past couple days, the Alliance are not doing too well in there at all. I fought these on Brieanna who is doing well in there since she turned 80, piling up some nice damage in every battle.

A lot of the battlegrounds started off very unbalanced and I recently found out why this is happening. It is because of QQ premades. They load up all the queue's then don't accept it when one pops. That leaves the queues lacking in numbers when they pop. I am going to put in a ticket to Blizzard about this, this practice needs to be stopped because it is screwing up the queuing system and causing a lot of losses for the Alliance. That would go a long way towards explaining why the Alliance is always lacking in numbers and not the Horde, QQ is only Alliance.

Alterac Valley - 2/16/10

I am not going to go into detail, suffice to say I was unfortunate enough to fight in 6 very unbalanced battles, all of which we lost. The battle closest to being even at the start started off 28 Alliance to 40 Horde. The worst one, numbers wise, was 18 Alliance to 40 Horde. As far as I'm concerned this is an epic fail on Blizzards part. I put in a ticket on this and was told that the battle will not start until the battleground is full on both sides... Being someone who is actually in the battleground and fighting, not sitting at a desk making excuses, I can see that this is not true. My findings come from experience, not the Blizzard manual.
