Cross-server battlegrounds wouldn't eliminate queues by any means. It would simply make them more rational and flowing. The situation would still be better for alliance players than now simply because there would be more games going on, so that more people would get to play them. But most importantly, it would eliminate bottlenecks. Sure, alliance PvE players might experience wait queues, but they might only be 15-20 minutes rather than the two hours or never that they experience now.
