I keep seeing people scream about "wahhh Alliance dead" when the numbers show that both sides are pretty equal: it's just that less people on Alliance give a shit about serious PVP or Heroic/Mythic raiding.
This brings up a few points:
1) Why is a faction "dead" if it doesn't do as much higher content/is filled with more casual players?
2) What is stopping these people from going to Horde if they are obsessed with a bigger raiding/pve community?
3) Why can't people move on from the fact that casual play is the only reason this franchise still exists today?
