Both Horde and Alliance have already moved to the “2nd phase” of Phase 2. The part where active PvPers realize that massive raids are not the way to gain honor and that BRM is basically the grinder to get honor in groups of 3-10. Even then most PvPers are pretty bored of slaughtering people and want the BGs to get here just as much.
Logging on one of the most populated realms as the Minority Faction, I can tell you from continuous first hand experience that early times of the day are almost dead in most farm spots and is probably a good 1-5 player gank squad time for either faction.
Some Flight Point Stuff for Alliance
Alliance landing at WPL, stop that. Instead go Aerie Peak, head north through the backroad to get to Scholo/WPL. If EPL is camped, this method is a safer way to get to Strat too…
If you wanna go to Steppes, head north through Redridge
If you wanna go to Gorge, head west through Badlands.
These strategies don’t take that much extra time and result in much fewer corpse runs even if the goal areas are optimally camped.
