AV Timing

Just an observation, but WTH is with AV’s during the afternoon? I do my best to only do AV in the morning or late at night. Come 2pm server time (3pm EST) I stop playing bg’s altogether. I find the quality of alliance play dramatically decreases after 3pm EST. My guess: the kids are out of school and start joining bg’s before their dinner time. It’s the only thing I can come up with to explain the dramatic difference. Today I was waiting for a flight back to see my family so I had time to kill after my girlfriend left (she doesn’t game) and before my I had to leave for my flight (which got delayed two hours anyway). I braved the AV battleground for 2500 honor points worth-—it was AV weekend after all—-and tolerated some of the most colossal and spectacular losses.

Now at this point it’s worth mentioning that the arguments of “Alliance sucks at bg’s” and “Alliance PvP suxor” is just complete nonsense. My PvP record in all bg’s is above .500 meaning I’ve been in more winning bg’s than I have in losing ones. That counts both on the whole as well as individually per battleground. Yes even AB. But AV is the closest at only 56% wins, probably because I play it the most even when I know the kids are out of school and we’re going to lose. A losing AV on AV Weekend will net more honor than a winning WSG & AB… combined.

So I ask again, what’s with winning AV’s in the morning and losing in the afternoon? It’s not the Alliance sucking. I think it’s the kids coming out of school.
