Man, I'm sorry to hear so many people are having issues, but on my server (Ghostlands-US) if I queue up 15 mins beforehand, I pretty much get in every time.
I've seen it change hands multiple times in one day. If the attackers break the turtle and they have the other two bases, they'll cap it before the defenders can cap one of the other ones.
And finally, this is a video game, not first grade tee-ball. Losers shouldn't get rewarded for being bad. It's getting honor from losing BGs that makes people queue up and go "Let's just not do anything, faster honor lololol."
Let's give it more than 10 days before pulling out TEH SKAI IZ FALLNIG! posts.

In a bg that most people report not changing hands 90% of the time, rewarding
people bullheaded enough to show up on the losing side seems like a good idea if you want to keep being able to get in most times you queue.
I haven't checked, but is ghostlands about 50/50 for the factions or are you just on the smaller faction? If you had to queue 10 times to get in once and then only had a 10% chance of winning (100 queues per 3 tokens is how that works out) I think your story would change.

I think Ghostlands is pretty close to 50/50. More Horde pvp than Alliance though.
Anecdotally though, (and that's all any reporting is at this point) I've seen it change hands WAY more than 10% of the time. I queued 3 times today and I'm pretty sure it changed hands at least two of those matches.
If I had a one in 10 shot of getting in, and a one in 10 shot of winning I probably wouldn't do the BG. But that hasn't been my experience, and I really do think it's too soon to be saying it's broken. I've had a lot of fun every time I've played it, and it's more interesting than just hopping up in demos and knocking down walls.
My main concern at this point is that seiges have too much HP to make it worth killing them, but I think that'll change as we approach higher gear levels.

Ghostlands USA is 1.1Horde to 1 Ally ratio.
Given that we OWNED WinterGrasp 71.9% of the time out of 6270 battles (as of Dec02'10) since 4.0.3 messed up WG you pretty much HAD/HAVE to sign up 15 minutes early (or you don't get in).
Given that the same players that helped set up that dominance are likely now camping Tol Barad... I'd imagine the situation is the same (haven't been to TB yet).
By my estimate I've attended about 300+ or so of the WG battles on various toons. I loved WG, more so when it was 200 vs 150 or 120 v 120, these days its a pitiful 5v5.
Blizzard, don't listen to the numbnut QQers - bring back tenacity, first 20 players get in for free, thereafter let people queue at a 3:2 ratio with tenacity rules in effect.
