Maybe a handful of them, but they did all roll on the same server.
Even Stevie Wonder could have seen this coming.

Blizz prefers 20 min wait times for all horde versus a bunch of PvP servers dying off. And they should .

Horde destroyed the win win situation for Alliance and Horde.
First week of the AV released almost 6 to 8 mins per a game, alliance won the game with 700 to 1k honor, and horde lost with 2.7k to 3 k. And now both with heavy defense at least 45mins for a game with tiny honor.
Won 2 games this morning more than 1 hour each game and less than 9k honor.
One or two games already enough for most of the alliance. Too tired to play hours.

How would I know Horde was going to have long queues?
Population balance … the faction with bigger population has longer wait times

if you can choose the +10 pvp bonus, or +1 pvp bonus, what you think pvpers in general will choose ?.. then ask yourself again, why there is alot more horde playing pvp ?
Then they probably shouldn’t isolate Oce realms, but they do 
Not everyone is as invested in this kind of stuff as some of you are. I just want to play the game, I didn’t spend days dwelling on faction balance. That’s Blizzards job.

and i gave you the why, wich most can and could see comming, for us that played classic back in the day, was exactly the same back then…
in classic
horde have the pvp meta
alliance have the pve meta
I hate turtle matches. There’s no point in passive-aggressively stalling the match and delaying the winning for either side.
Actually, there is. You get more honor/hour when you win in sub-45 minute games. Hard defense throws Alliance off, makes for an easy victory. Only way to go with these 20-30 minute queues.

until everyone on the alliance is AV exaulted, and switches to WSG
LOL should have been ally, I never have a que last longer that 1 min 
Yep, and it will be that way as long as classic is still a game,. The only reason I play alliance other than the ambassador racial humans get.
Now, had I known there were going to be megaservers averaging 15k people on them I never would have rolled PVP… there was litereally no way to see that coming when people were screaming “no changes”. That descision totally FUBAR’d the whole game.
all credit to the original OP who did the Math.
Fast Ques are a blessing and a curse
- you get to have more readily available PvP Entertainment
- you in theory have quicker access to the Rep Rewards (as posted above this is actually not the case with the alliance strat in AV)
The Con however is that with instant ques you need to compete against fellow Alliance who also have instant ques making you a victim of your own success in a way, lets take for example OCE horde who have 8hr+ WSGs and 2-4+hr AV ques, they only need to do 2 games a day to keep with the pack as Horde are simply unable to farm up 2.2million honor in a week like Faerlina Alliance are.
In terms of your Sanity the less honor you make is bad BUT the less honor your faction makes is really really really good as getting past rank 5 is simply not an enjoyable task at this point unless you enjoy 6-7 hrs straight of BGs 7 days a week, I dont imagine there is anything even IRL that you would enjoy if you had to do it for 7 hrs everyday without a break.
You play the popular faction you have to deal with what comes with it. The Alliance is waiting for you if you want faster queues. Horde fandom is a cult though and will always remain the popular faction because of myths spread by the cult that Horde never loses in PVP.

Plenty of people are queuing, there’s just a LOT more Horde than Alliance. Going Horde was only a good idea for wPvP. Otherwise you’re screwed queue wise.
Wrong.
Same server queuing wouldn’t destroy those servers- because the only reason it’d suck is if those servers had already been destroyed.
