Those poor Alliance didn't stand a chance :D
GG Blizz though. This team balance is kinda typical of my shoddy battlegroup. It really lives up to its name: Misery.
I'd also like to give a big shout out to the first ever multiboxer I have met in battlegrounds, Konnichiwa and Co. ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=55905&highlight=konnichiwa#post55905') Thanks for owning and camping me as I repeatedly respawned at Iceblood GY :thumbsup:

How the hell do BGs even start with 2/3 of the team missing?

Horde have a problem with Quing every BG taking one and leaving the remaining BG's open. But blizzard nurfed the join time down to a min 30 I think.

How the hell do BGs even start with 2/3 of the team missing?Well there was this one time......Where I went to BG and the other 2 guys left BG, and left me alone with 10 hordes....It wasn't pretty, and I did have a few SS of it, but I can't find that damn HD on which I had them on. That was the same HD I had my other SS of that bug where you could ride a griffen drunk and the griffen would fly underwater and into trees before they fixed it. Well the BG didn't go too well. the Horde pretty much just pointed and laughed at me and the casters blew me up....The good news is, it ended in less then 3 minutes!! This was before they have the cross BG's. This was also before I had my second computer to run my priest on.

It's not uncommon to start a match down 5 people, and it's always horde that doesn't have enough, never alliance.
So aggravating.

Makes you wonder what the queues would look like if they changed the minimum "start" size to 80% on both sides.

Allow you to fight horde or alliance like Arena, then all queues will be instant.

"Hey, horde can cheeze our midfield towers w/o even getting shot at. Nerf plz."

Before 70 It was pretty often the case, that we didn't have as much players on horde side as the alliance had. I've got a SS where I and one other player (Still single-boxing by that time ^^) capped a flag. --> 2 vs 10 on warsong. It was awesome :D... He was a pvp twink rogue and I was simply a pvp addicted warlock without any level 70 chars yet. I managed to clean their flag room from their roof and get the flag to our base while to rogue made about 8 kills to defend xD
After some time more horde player joined, but we lost anyway due to the Horde:Alliance --> 1:2 when we were finally more than 5 ^^
I love to /y FOR THE HORDE when we are far less than the others.
But i rerolled on another server (still single-boxing) and had to remark, that in this realmpool it was simply the opposite. Horde > Alliance on every single bg.
Makes you wonder what the queues would look like if they changed the minimum "start" size to 80% on both sides.
Would be a nice idea. But I can see the same problem as always - "Oh, I need marks from the other bg, byebye, we would lose here anyway"

I think they need to get rid of the battlegroup concept and just have entire wow population que up.
I mean, you log into a seperate server in BGs anyway... so just massively increase the queue size.They tried that a long time ago didn't they? I remember the 400 AV queues :P crashed a lot then they did the whole battlegroup thing.
