yeah so alliance pug player quality and win rates are completely abysmal compared to horde ones. i can hardly stand playing alliance characters because we win like 1 in 10 games during peak hours. we are getting stomped in most cases and the games arent even close. i know most horde wont care but consider this. if alliance lose alot players will quit alliance which leads to a cascading effect of us losing more and then losing more players. eventually there wont be enough alliance to have more than 1 game going at a time.

Is it becoming unbalanced again, or are you just losing a lot?

Oh it's really unbalanced. Horde completely smash alliance 90% of the time. I don't know if it's a population issue but losing all the time in BG's sure discourages people from doing them. Me included. :/
Premades are still very much a problem also, with both sides making seperate groups and queuing at the same time in order to get a full premade on.

Hen you should be really careful with removing premades etc.. its a way of pvp and it has always been there. You should put up the Alliance pref char again but you really shouldnt remove premades.
Not saying that you have planned that but just warning you that it wont be good in the length.

Premades are fine. Making premades just to camp GY to farm HKs is not, and this is what 90% of SF premades were for.

The new core I think has separation of premade queuing and normal queuing. Hopefully this will help.

its not really the premades. its usually the alliance doesnt have a full team and loses or we do have a full team and get crushed anyways.

this
smolderforge premades are just groups of good geared GY gankers. you can beat them easy with teamwork but teamplay on smolder? lol ;)
i remember some arathi matches vs horde premades. some of them ended with 2000:50 for ally randoms cause horde premade wanted HKs only. you all know that horde group/guild =)
