This is absolutely not common scenario... but i can immagine how its frustrating to be in such a game.. then i suggest just leave with /afk if there is really nothing you can do to make it better...
This is absolutly not true... at all
But i know why it seems for you like that.
The problem is:
AV is the most honor profitable activity -> most of the ranking players go to av
But then horde start to defend like madman's and make av inefficient...
This drag all ranking people ( not a rule, but they are often good in pvp and have knowledge how AV works in details...) from pugs to premade groups.
So most of the pug players aren't pvp players with deep knowledge of AV mechanics.
Often they are people who dont give a ..pineapple... and often afk, don't listen guy who try to lead if there is such a guy or they are not willing to use pots or granates.
So yea, pug group is often just pile of junk from alliance players ( not everytime, there are for sure good players as well, but they are in minority, just drop in the ocean of noobs)
Exactly... horde and they stupid defending cause only longer queu and more often face premades.. and it will be worst and worst... have fun
This is the same for Alliance...
For example look at firemaw... 500k+ first day after reset for higher brackets. You can't reach that playing less then 18h per day...
And that is exactly what is wrong with retail...
Everybody know that it will be like this...
But its not goal of everybody to reach rank14 ... at least if they know how honor/ranking/brackets works in vanilla.
Hope for TBC seems like solution for you?
I agree that its a shame that wsg and AB aren't even close in efficiency of AV.
