Why?
If you regularly play battlegrounds, you'll realize that one side is always more powerful. Sure, one side has to win the game after all, but the difference of power is unreal. Depending on which side has the most geared players online at that given time of the day, that faction wins. This leads to;
1) Players getting fed up and leaving
2) Less battlegrounds until the tides turn (someone geared logs from the other faction)
It's not blizzlike.
Neither is;
1) Our population
2) The time we spent in this expansion
3) /join cfworld
4) CF PvE
and several other things that I can't be bothered with listing
I'm a diehard roleplayer, I will not fight alongside my enemy

I've been to over 10 battlegrounds today on 3 different acccounts in both factions, with Chillmaster. Most of the time, we won due to having more geared people on our side and being geared ourselves. So, one faction gets absolutely massacred and they start leaving, and you end up with having no battlegrounds for 30~ minutes. Is this really what we want to see on the server? Is this how we want to promote PvP, the thing that never ends unlike PvE?
Back to topic, this actually does fix things by;
1) Increasing the amount of battlegrounds
2) Increasing the chances of replacing leavers (since they will be joining from both factions)
3) Removing the "i don't want to fight against these geared guys with my shit gear" mindset because the low geared player(s) can always be teamed with the better geared player(s) in the next game
4) It simply promotes a more newbie-friendly environment. More people will surely play battlegrounds, this way.
5) Eliminating the "ally/horde uses alts to que so we are left 3v4!" excuse. Because you don't know what kind of team you'll end up in.
You guys wanted to fix PvP for a long time. You failed. Things deteriorated to this point. Maybe it's about time you take a drastic step like you did with PvE. No matter how much Tenebro (who also happens to be a serial bug abuser) or anyone else is against this, you need to realize that this is very much needed for the greater good. The satisfaction of 5 players should not be any of your concern compared to the satisfaction of [serverpopulation-5] players.
