The problem I see is a lack of any real incentive to win. Winning gets you 2 more tokens to destroy, and maybe 25% more honor at best.

I couldn't agree more. I'm in AV for honor. While it's fun to win, 3 20 minutes losses = more honor than a single 1 hour win. The other day we had a group of lurkers on TS running AV together. I think we might have won once, but even the losses were fun because we were chatting on TS and just enjoying a little bit of PvP together:)

I also agree that Blizzard is probably aware of the terrain imbalance, but they are throwing the alliance the proverbial bone.

All that being said, horde can win Av and quickly...but it requires a LOT more coordination than it does for alliance (I've ground 2 toons to exhausted on each side, been there plenty).

I agree that AV is broken from a "both sides have an equal chance of winning" standpoint, but overall I like the way it is because let's face it...win or lose, it's fast honor. Some of the other bgs can go fast but let's use wsg as an example...you can go in there and get rolled and you get a token and virtually zero honor...that's no fun.
