Why do Alliance suck at PVP?

Seriously what's the jig here? I'm tired of seeing no coordination, no teamwork, not even the most limited attempt in either case and people saying 'let them win' after one flag capture? Thinking it might be worth my time to port this fellow over to Horde.

Anyway, Slorkuz's post is soo typical. They think, that if players from both factions are frustrated then Blizzard has made a good job.

Fine, I will bite. Here are claims being made:

Claim 1: Alliance are bad at PvP and always lose.
Claim 2: Horde are bad at PvP and always lose.

These are two opposing scenarios that, in the way they are being presented on the forums, are mutually exclusive.

Secondly, the reason for losses in most threads is often listed as: better gear, more organization, partial premades, or too many of <X/Y/Z> classes.

All these reasons are not something that are exclusive to only one faction. One faction does not have different classes than the other, nor does one faction have access to better gear than the other. The same point holds true for all reasons listed above.

There is really only one big distinct difference between the two factions: the races (and racials). Yet, we don't see many threads being made about how a certain faction has complete domination over Battlegrounds due to a racial ability.

It seems what you're actually saying is "There are too many under performing players (on my faction)". Fair point to make, albeit extremely subjective, as in: you could be a 2500 rated player who thinks 99% of the population are under performing.

The bottom line:

With such a statement, it seems that the audience you should be addressing is not the game developers, asking them to make [Alliance/Horde] players "press buttons better", but rather the peers that the complaint is actually about.

Can you (as in the community) make your peers play better?
Can the community help educate itself better?
What sorts of resources do successful players use to up their play over those that don't?

These are questions that, when answered, will likely do more to alleviate your frustrations than asking Blizzard to magically "make Alliance players better".
