Heya Cinobite,
Q u o t e:

The change has been noted here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1062166272#17


Q u o t e:
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.

Q u o t e:
So, is there any plans to help the population imbalances on same servers so it isnt a 5 no 5 fight all of the time? (note my server). I would love to actually get some of the rewards from TB

Edit: just read the blue post fully. hope it is a quick change.
Not sure, you may want to post on that thread with your concerns.
