WoW Beatings

I don't think I've posted this anywhere on here yet, but I became addicted to the game World of Warcraft (WoW) a few months ago. After an on-again, off-again relationship, I've finally reached 60 with my main character, and have 7 alts at various stages.

But now I've discovered the Battlegrounds (BGs). Specifically, I've become hooked on Arathi Basin...a 15 vs 15 BG that involves capturing specific resource bases and holding them for as long as you can. As long as you hold the base, you gain resource points...working toward a goal of 2000 points. The first faction...Alliance or Horde...to reach 2000 resource points wins.

The problem is that invariably the Alliance loses. I'm not sure if we are just unbelievably disorganized or the Horde is really that good....but we always seem to lose. And I'm not talking a small loss....within a couple hundred points. I'm talking a lose that would make you ask why you ever entered the BG in the first place. 2000 points to 1200 points.... or losses where the Horde control all 5 bases at the end, incredibly accelerating their resource stock piles.
