Apparently Blizzard wants WG to flip every 3 hours, regardless of how many people show up to defend.

Typical - Blizzard making everything ambiguous so there's no lasting effect on the game world.

How boring.

Oh well, WG blows anyway. I go there AFTER the battle to farm the Vault for Badges and Epics.

So go PvP there if you want to waste some time between Naxx raids.

I've only seen Wintergrasp successfully defended once, and that was only after a giant brawl in the orb room. With instant click, even that would have been a loss. The changes will likely make defense pointless. The walls already can't be defended, and now the orb room can't be defended.

As it stands, the defense guns simply don't do enough damage to stop a tank from ignoring you and driving right up to the wall and knocking it down. Blizz's response is to make the tanks bigger. Even exposed characters running around aren't really bothered by the guns (and any healer class can just heal through the bombardment as he walks down the wall destroying the cannons).

(I've only been in one game where the side with Tenacity actually won, and now that's been nerfed. Since Horde was the only side that gained Tenacity, it's a very one-sided nerf, too.)
