He's right tho. Tol Barad is probably the worst PvP Blizzard have implemented so far.
It's damn close to be near impossible to win back if you're the attacker. You need to control all flag at once. The Defending faction just need to zerg a flag, and since your force are reduced to defending 3 flags, they're zerg is guaranteed to take at least one flag everytime they move... wich make it almost impossible to hold 3 flags.

Attacker are actually at a disadvantage there, and it shouldn't be. It should be a 50% chance for D and O to take back / defend Tol Barad, but it's far from there.

Unfortunately, either its going to sway from easily defended to easily attacked, or its going to go poof and WG will be retooled to 85.

I like the hectic nature of TB, but there are things that need to be done about the balance issue. Towers need to be important and i think there should be some more interesting mechanics to work with (giant ettin, anyone?). I think its time for a bg where we just wanna kill anything we see but still need to pay attention to a few strats. TB has potential, its just so basic all you want to do is go for some extra honor and maybe rep.

I do have to ask why Blizzard hasn't said anything on any forum anywhere about TB (not even a "stop QQing, it will never change, racechange ally/horde so we get epic g lootz from your rl bags" kind of thing).
