Some basic suggests to fix the game:

1. Zero honor for a loss. Both sides get a pool of honor that is announced at the start of the BG if you win. If you lose, that honor goes back into the pool for the next winning team of that side. I would believe that Horde would really start trying to fight if they see 20,000 honor for a win. Same for alliance in other BGs.

2. A quick and fast way to report cave dwellers / afk'ers. If you are reported, and a GM agrees that you are not trying, you lose all of your honor and 2-3 pieces of BG gear. Caught a second time kiss your arena epics good bye. It won't take more then one week to stop all the afk'ers. Worked for spammers in less then a week after patch. One crying person who lost their gear/honor would be more then enough fear to keep afk'ers out of BGs.

3. Make the summonable creatures truly epic. One shot everything but a prot-tank. Make them clear a path to the enemy base at a good speed and then despawn. Creatures can be summoned mulitiple times. Need this to break true ties. Should be close to first one to summon wins the match, if you have any brains on your team. Makes 1-1 fights more interesting as people are running the quests to bring up the super creatures become more important then just honor kills.

4. Remove Relief Hut/Aid Station. Trinket takes you back to the cave. Defense is a mid-field / graveyard thing. No more turtling with 20 people for a stalemate. You die, you are no longer part of the defense. Thus Alliance cann't just use 5-7 defenders to slow down Horde to a lose in a speed race or turtle for a 1-2hr game until horde afk's.

5. Both caves are moved to mid-field. Players need to decided if they want to defend or attack.

Pick any one or all and you would improve the current game without a lot of game rework.
