I'm kind of curious as to how Oldmandennis defines "epic". Does he mean "long"? Because long matches still happen from time to time (I was in a match the Alliance won in 2 hours 40 the other week, and I've participate in some slow Horde victories).
However the long matches aren't necessarily any more satisfying than the short matches (unless you enjoy wildly inflated honorable kill totals). Generally it means the two sides are at a stalemate where neither side can gain an advantage over the other (eg Horde trying to take the Aid Station with 40 Alliance defending - I was in a match where not even Lok'dolar could break the deadlock).
The most fun I have in AV is the frantically defending a graveyard against seemingly non-stop waves of Horde attackers - the times when you feel you can't afford to leave the flag defence for a second or it will be captured. Those moments can happen in short matches and long ones.
