I have been playing during the night (EU time) in the last week and I don't remember ever even completing a BG, there are not enought ally even to run a AB, and despite the balancing system there are often double horde then ally in battegrounds.

this sucks
it's like the server is down every night because you can't play, it's pointless

Just rolling the fraction with lesser players is clearly too simple.

Tbh, I would like to see cross-fractions bgs, would allow everybody to roll what they want and still do bgs.

Been suggested numerous times before, and every time it's been a clear no.

Would love to see it. Would help a lot with the faction imbalance, since it's always a problem.

Because of effort/coding involved or the "SF is very blizzlike" - thing?

I'm sure it would be possible by modifying battleground system files. If players aren't automatically submitted to their faction but with some loops looking how many players are in Horde team and Alliance team and then, if there are more players on alliance team, the next player queing will be on horde team.
It could be more clear for admins if I make a "comp" as a script but I only know unix shell scripts. Anyway I'm sure it's possible and it could be REALLY fun to play with his worst enemy, maybe it could resolve some ego issues.

If you want to have balanced/full/active battlegrounds... don't play at a private server -__-

I wouldn't go that far, Kim. Although I do have to admit it's downright shitty around 11pm pacific until around 2am. If you do get a game, it's mostly keyboard turning rogues (6-8 of a team of 10 for example)

Though at that point, the game quality resembles Japan last year after the earthquake... >.>

Perhaps just locking in WSG during off peak hours would assist? Seeing as when it switches to AB/Eye the games vanish for two hours. Just a thought.

We as a community could go to shattrath and queue for something different, but I have yet to get people to actually do that.
