Another disappointing day for the Alliance in the battlegrounds. I fought in 9 battles total, 2 Eye of the Storm, 1 win, 1 loss, 1 AB, a loss, 4 WSG which was the daily, 1 win and 4 losses, and 2 AV both losses. I don't know what is wrong with the Alliance lately but they can't seem to get it together and win anything. AV was the typical blend of stupidity, AFK and generally people not working together. We came close in one of the 2 battles but by close I mean we were in FW Keep capping towers when the Horde killed
Vann. It is sad to see so many people in DB while the Horde are capping bunkers and they aren't doing anything, they are AFK.
In Eye of the Storm, a battleground we usually dominate in, people were more interested in getting the flag than they were in getting or defending towers. At one point I was guarding FRR alone, and everyone left MT to go to the middle to get the flag. Needless to say the Horde came in and took MT then 4 of them overran me at FRR to take that too. At that point we didn't even have a tower to bring a flag too but people were still in the middle trying to get the flag. AB was a wash, people were everywhere in one's and two's, no one bothering to defend the nodes we had. In WSG, which was my daily, eveyone was fighting in the middle, there was no support for the flag carrier and when the Horde had our flag no one was bothering to go after it or support me when I had the flag,
they were in the middle fighting..... Definitely no sign of teamwork at all. Anyway we won the 4th battle I was in so I finally got my daily done and collected my 11g99s, 419 honor and 3
Warsong Gulch Mark of Honor. Hopefully tomorrow will bring a better class of players.
Today's daily battleground was Arathi Basin. We didn't do too well in there, overall I had 4 wins and 4 losses but I got my daily done. The daily pays 11g99s, 419 honor and I also got the 3 Arathi Basin Mark of Honor for winning. After I had finally won I went back in for some more and had 3 good groups where we had two 4 caps and a 5 cap. I only have about 60 of those marks as I used some to buy some gear so I need to build those back up along with WSG marks. I went on to fight in 9 Eye of the Storm battles, 6 wins and 3 losses. We had some good groups and some bad groups, with a couple of the good groups we had 4 caps and held the Horde on their rock. 
I also fought in 5 AV's, 3 wins and 2 losses so that wasn't a really bad day in AV. We killed Drek in all of our wins and both of our losses involved people going for Galv first which usually ends in a loss and in one of them they defended SHGY which almost always ends in a loss. Overall it seemed like the quality of players was better today. As usual we had a lot of AFK in AV but they are getting reported more and more and people are asking me about the TuringTest AFK Reporter when I post the Leechers/AFK and they are saying they are going to download it. If only 5 people in every battleground had this mod AFK would be a thing of the past as they just would not be able to get away with it. 
If Blizzard put a little effort in and started removing them from the battlegrounds, say after 3 minutes, and banning them from battlegrounds for a certain amount of time each time, and maybe permanently after so many, I think it would go a long way to solving the problem too.
