I see this happen every single time I que into an AV game, and just about each and every time it resulted in an automatic loss.
Why are alliance players skipping Galv, GY’s, and towers?

Also noticed this. Idk i guess they just wanna rush to two towers.
I’ve asked this one day…and people just say they want the bg to be over fast and quickly like 
this aint cata…av doesn’t work like that anymore…and they wonder why alliance loses all the time outside of community premades.
Get TP, East FW, West FW, rush in and win. A PuG can do it with 3 down if everyone goes south. Don’t blame the players for wanting a quick win. We wouldn’t be in this for fast honor gains if Blizz didn’t force us upgrade all of our gear all the time. I can’t wait to get 7/7 so that I can finally play the game.

Thats generally what I do. Most of the time however they all go south with no tank and cap West/east FW and /afk till the horde caps all bunkers…and wonder why we lose.
I hate when everyone goes south and no one tries to get TP or IBT. You at least need to get 1. I always try for IBT unless the majority are going for TP.

It’s annoying and as Prot I don’t go South and only backcap GY’s and Towers. I don’t join AV to Tank some stupid NPC. I join AV to get 100’s of HK’s and control Towers and get some PvP in.
Sometimes my team which doesn’t know better yells at me to head South because I’m a Tank but I kindly respond that I’m here for PvP. If they like to head mid or North and defend then lets do it!!!
They just need to remove the Bosses in AV and instead of capping Towers you need to get HK’s around them in order to claim them.

I actually i agree with u. Its all blizzards fault. Constantly making gear upgrades with like 30-40 ilvls. Thats an insane increase every season. Also queue times have been getting longer and longer. Av queues are geting in to 40 min range. I guess most casual pvpers just quit. 
When I get my maxed-out gear I would love a forever-long slug fest. But right now on all my chars I just need the most honor per hour.
Honestly I don’t even wanna do this anymore… ill just wait for df.

That’s the best thing to do obviously. Hopefully though they can fix Epics and work on BGs in DF. They need some major overhauls.

All I have to say is…NONE SHALL PASS! 
I love a good defensive AV game.
As long as we have 1 of those as well as the 2 fw towers, I can usually tank in 
and I main resto. Blitz is still a very reliable way of winning. If we don’t win (in MY experience), it’s because people are too busy bickering on how to play.
Let’s not forget how often there is no tank, but someone still runs in and pulls the boss and runs out, until they’re not quick enough and dies
Except that isn’t any fun. You basically are turning AV into an Island Expedition at that point without any PvP.
Epic should be 30-45 mins long and the focus should be unavoidable large battles over resources till the other team is destroyed via PvP combat.

Transfered back to Ally, was Horde for most of SL. Got in, threw down the game plan “cap first towers, keep Ally from capping ours, move up when we’ve capped theirs.”
No such luck…thankfully I and a few other stayed to back cap because that was apparently just long enough for the ally players at The Horde base to mongo down the guards and then kill Drek.
I miss Horde already…and I hated having to be Horde.
Well… because so so many people have zero clue how the big BGs work lol.
The game never really shows people what to do or why.
AV? Rush the boss and stand there. Sometimes you pull and win, sometimes you just stand there and lose. Why? Not many people know.
Thats about the extent of peoples knowledge.

the player base is so effin lazy. Honestly, if you go outside the “norm” you are ostracized. Heaven forbid a team stacks the base to eff them up, you will never see that in random. All Rbgs are fixed af if you ask me.

I explain till my face falls off. Then I will /rw We are losing bc you failed to recall, or back cap, etc. Some of the pugs just want to fight in FOS. Some of us really enjoy a good, well played AV. And the pugs just ruin that by refusing to listen or even try. You (generalized for pugs) don’t know how to do something? ASK. I won’t make fun of you.
Fun is extremely subjective. You and some others may not find any fun from this strat, many do.
I personally don’t give a crap on which strat we use, as long as we can all agree AND stick to it. You want a big epic PVP fight à la SS Vs TM? Sure, let’s go, I’ll be in the back healing. You want to play defensively, back cap etc? Yup, All for it. You want to rush? Again, all for it. Just commit to one at the start!(and obviously change it if our current one is not working) That’s where my “fun” comes from.
