In patch 4.0.3, Wintergrasp queuing was changed so that each battle attempts to match the factions at a 1-to-1 ratio. This is the exact system being used for Tol Barad in Cataclysm. While we understand that this inflates queue times for factions which are vastly overpopulated on select realms, we prefer this system over using Tenacity. In addition, the new system at least encourages playing on a faction that's better balanced against the opposing faction. With the old Wintergrasp functionality, players were almost encouraged to be on an overpopulated faction, further contributing to realm balance issues.
That said, we'll review realms with significant faction imbalances on a case-by-case basis in the event we need to take further action.

I'm confused. Did Wintergrasp basically turn into AV?

So now instead of having 40 vs 10 battles we have 6 vs 6 battles. Awesome!

How is going to effect all the players who changed factions to be part of the roflstomp that was Wintergrasp?
I know my server had many players swapping to horde just to win and hold WG on a regular basis. I'm glad I wasn't part of that crowd, lol.

I really have no sympathy for the Horde that don't get in via the new system. You all had a fun heyday of free wins by surfing the zerg. Just like I knew, my alliance server is winning the attacking WGs now that is balanced. Tenacity is not even close to worth numbers. If you want to PvP whenever you want, should have been with us from the start.

It didn't affect the Horde on my server aside from screwing over a bunch of people by not letting them into WG. We have been so used to rolling alliance with 10+ tenacity that it's just a joke now that they have none.

That's funny. A group of designers recognized the problem five years ago and adapted to build AV, but someone recently thought they were smarter and failed.
Just continues to prove that a two faction system can't be balanced, yet everyone keeps designing them.
