Would love to see randomized starting locations. And you have to realize the only reason there’s a defeatist attitude on Alliance is for the exact reason Sepgiroth pointed out. After hundreds and hundreds of battles at ibgy all ending in the exact same overwhelm and pushback to shgy and then contain at iwb and then separation at spgy and backdoor into DB with a final push to van, there is nothing we can do. At some point, we have to take IBGY to win the game, and it is just impossible with the current map setup and cave respawns.
We could wipe you all day long at SHGY and it would all be pointless since we still have to take IBGY at some point and unless 0 Horde come back to defend it (which would only happen if you’re about to win anyway), it is nearly impossible. So Alliance have very understandably realized that there is no point to playing the map.
