As I suspected before 2.4 hit, there are two ways that games go on my Battlegroup now:

1. Horde turtle at IB and force a 30 minute win where we can usually snag ~400 honor to the Alliance's 0-150 or so.

2. Horde doesn't turtle and Alliance steamrolls to Drek in the EXACT same f'ing time it took them pre-2.4 but we can BARELY get SP under control before they start on Drek. That means we're losing North and South bunker cap honor plus many times SH and IW bunker cap honor because they can push to Drek so fast.

All of this stems from the fact that Alliance are forced to go in one path from our lieutenant to TP to IB and then straight to RH. Our archers are a joke and they don't have 4 aggro elite NPC's standing right next to the GY that prevent them from capping it. So, while 1 or 2 Alliance at AS can hold off a full group of Horde from capping, it takes 10-15 minimum at the RH to prevent Alliance from capping it... And our East and West towers are ticking down as they do it, too.

What makes me sick is knowing that Blizz did this so that you couldn't have 10 minute games anymore. My guess is that they didn't want AV games to take 1/3 the amount of time that an AB takes and give 3 times the honor, so they tried to force Horde to play D. It's disgusting.

After getting 7 toons kitted in full S1/Vindicator's, I don't think I'd ever have the patience to do this again on a single other toon. Ever.

Edit: Just hit the magic post number I'm going to have a beer to celebrate. BRB.
