So, hopefully at this point everyone knows that in AV, quick wins or quick losses, regardless of which side you're on, nets more honor than a long drawn out win. IE losing 5 games every 10-15 minutes will grant you significantly more honor than a single win where you get 400 HKs.
Let's also understand that historically, Horde usually win AV. So this weekend, Horde are winning pretty consistently and pretty quickly - fine by me, I'm getting 2k honor every 15 minutes, not bad.
Suddenly, Alliance are smart enough to realize that if we stop doing Galv, group up and zerg FW GY followed by relief hut, the game turns into a race which was pretty 50/50 in terms of which faction won.
Suddenly, the Horde realizing that their win% dropped, decide to start sending waves of people to defend at the road going by IB Tower, which means Alliance rez at SH GY and the game turtles, going over an hour and reducing everyone's honor by a monumental amount.
So the question to you horde players is this: WHY?
Is it a pride thing? You simply cannot accept the fact that you win 50%, regardless if it's the best possible honor available and you'd literally rather gain 2.5k honor in 2 hours than than 16k in 2 hours?
I've seen people with General+ defending here, who you would hope have a good enough understanding of the mechanics that they wouldn't do this... Seriously stumped here, wtf.
