I request that you take 1 full group, and try your luck against the pop lock on Azuras. Please record this, as I wish to see it afterwards. I guarantee you'll be frustrated.

It's just the truth bro, you gotta live it to understand it.

Every PVP experience I've ever had consisted of me being alone or in one group only. If pugs show up that's a different story. I understand the frustration but I think there is nothing more frustrating than not being able to use abilities in a huge fight that would otherwise be crazy fun. I know that nobody is to blame for that but I think larger numbers don't help either.
I wish they would (eventually) add some form of PVP with equal teams fighting against each other. No siege either please!

I've seen the numbers WRX and Crown can rally. They must give out free tri pots, gems AND cookies to all who harken their rally call and yellablob wave the map on their command. But at least they don't pm you and say "hey, we only had 12".

Where the heck are you fighting bro? I rarely see a zerg of 100 players. I have seen your zerg and I have never seen another zerg of that size on any faction. So how many guilds are running more then 1 raid of players? I know of 2.

In all fairness this is actually very true. Neither of them knew there would be a huge infusion of AD into Azuras. I was a member of both Misfitz and Decibel at the time, and neither guild coordinated with each other nor any other AD guild to move to Azuras together. It was kept a secret to try and avoid that kind of situation and to get a bigger share of AP.
I know that there will be people who don't believe me, and that's fine. For the record though this is what happened for these two guilds specifically. I'm not even in Misfitz anymore as I'm branching out into DC.

I think the major issue isn't that it happened (though some harp on it), but that when the issue was brought to the attention of the guilds in question and it was asked that it be corrected they all balked at it. The guilds can't say they didn't know what the outcome would be if all of them stayed -- they were told, repeatedly, in game and on the forums.
First DC vanished from Azura's then it became solely an ADvsEP fight with EP having the fewer guilds dedicated to the server (we'd split our guilds up like had been asked for so long), and we didn't have the 'round the clock coverage that AD could offer. Eventually EP got sick of it, too.
If a couple of those guilds had been proactive and moved back to Thornblade or Chillrend (whose AD population vanished nearly completely), it would have been a much more enjoyable cycle for everyone on Azura's.
Instead it became Ring Around The Campaign. Ugh.

That would be a funny video to see because I see the same things from them the minute red flags an emp keep. It is entertaining to see population go from 2 bar to pop lock w/in 10 minutes

I completely agree with you, but the assessment that this was a coordinated attack by AD to ruin Azuras and run DC off the server just isn't true, and it's been talked about quite often.
No one wanted to leave because everyone felt they had their own right to be there, and no one saw that they had a more legitimate reason to leave over any of the other guilds. It depends on how you play really. Personally I can't blame the guilds who had people as Emperors, and I felt that the guilds who came just to farm AP should have gone elsewhere.
Though what none of us took into consideration was the guilds who cared only for the PvE buffs and because winning to them means owning every single thing on the map...When you take that population into account it exacerbated the issue. Should we have taken the high road and abandoned the campaign even though we had emperors? In hindsight, yeah I guess. It just feels ridiculous to leave a campaign where we did the work and for everyone else to reap the benefits of.
