Horde can AFK out and get a new group in less than a minute, for them AFK is an integral part of their honor grind. it's not uncommon to see the top honor grinders pushing a million honor on a WSG weekend.
Ah, I totally misread Concillian's comment about "AFK Gulch" and was still thinking of AV and all the AFK botters that were there. Also, on Tichondrius, the player population is fairly even and from a queue standpoint favors the alliance, since more Horde queue up for BG's than Alliance do.
I just finished a great game of AV. I was in a team of nine guildmates who along with the 31 Horde pug's systematically picked apart the Alliance. It's been a long time since we've had a good solid game like that (the Alliance groups weren't total pushovers, either -- they had their own organized small groups). Best of all? No AFK botters or rep farmers. Everyone was actually involved in the fight. The match took about an hour and a half to complete and was quite fun.
