./sigh... posted while in a WSG turtle. What are you supposed to do when they sit on the flag with 7 people?
A defensive oriented BG, one that hops GY to GY does not have to end in a stalemate. Of course breaking those requires some actual skill... and I played on K'T before xserver BG's, since they changed it to a race the average IQ in the BG's I play in has probably gone down.
But in an ideal BG summons/siege engines break the natural advantages that the defenders have. The trick is to pace them and carefully balance their power against players who span 50 levels of gear.
Of course, they haven't mentioned anything about trying to balance the summons, or that they are trying to push the duration of the games back to the 1hr or so it would take for summons to be effective.
