Wintergrasp bugged on Area 52 server

It appears as if Wintergrasp is bugged on the Area 52 server. People are queuing up, but it's not calling anyone. I flew out to the zone and there is no one there, but the battle is going on. Just without people. Then it ports us out saying we weren't called.

I notice WG pops when the Invasions pop. Could something to do with the invasion be bugging WG? Could we get a GM to take a look at it? It's been controlled by the alliance for like 2 days straight, and I think this is why.

Thanks.

Heya Vongloom,

Actually, this may be the reason why:

    http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1062166272#17

    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:
If this is the case then why am i looking at a ticket response from GM [removed] telling me that the tenacity system is in place and it'snot suppose to be 1 for 1? Does anyone down there know what the others are doing? Nothing like a system built around alienating players from the content. I hope you enjoy the [>.>] storm thats sure to come form this. Who the hell wan'ts to run an event with 7 people against 7 people? LIke always you make decisions with little or no thought. After completing the post i'll be checking to see when my account is up and making arraingments to cancel it. I hope other s do as well.
