[HUGE ISSUE] Alliance multi-boxing Blackrock Horde chars and staying AFK in BGs

If you have been playing Battlegrounds lately, you might have noticed that it's hard to queue to a BG that does not have multiple AFK Horde players (usually at least 5, but can be up to 15 in bigger BGs) from Blackrock. I will try to explain what I think is happening here.

1. Player(s) from Alliance create instant-80 Horde characters in Blackrock realm.
2. They multi-box and queue all of them to Battlegrounds.
3. They stay AFK -> they get reported -> they get banned -> they make new accounts and start over.

As you can guess, neither reporting, nor banning is effective in this situation. The only solution I can suggest is to prevent Blackrock players from cross-realming BGs, but maybe someone might think of a better solution to this problem.

This is being very annoying, this is totally ruining my service, help, !! cant play BGs anymore !! HELP

I never noticed any, you sure its not just a few bad BGs?

Yes, @BladeofHopee, I just did like 10 battlegrounds in a row, all of them had multiple players who are AFK from the beginning, and they are all from Blackrock realm. I can make some screenshots later, because it's still happening now.

I want to know what ya all are smokiing because I've been winning quite a lot tonight as horde.

I smell someone has an agenda to remove Blackrock from CRZ because I never ran into this problem and I've been doing BGs the last few hours.

No agenda, it has become a real issue, and as I said, I would be glad if there was a solution to this without removing cross-realm feature for Blackrock players.

I believe the problem is combining different realm types. Icecrown is overgeared with people in all Wrathful + SM blowing everyone up. My assumption is many people on Blackrock choose to AFK until they get better gear, but I really didn't notice anyone AFK as Horde.

1. If that was an issue, there would be undergeared players from Lordaeron and Icecrown as well, who would go afk.
2. It is not a coincidence, when there are 10 players standing AFK from the beginning of the game (before any fights even occurred) and they are ALL from Blackrock.
3. Every time I queue'd, the players were different (you have to admit, it's not very likely to get matched with the same 5 people 6 times in a row when cross-realm takes players from all realms)

EDIT: At this point in time, the multi-boxers have stopped, but if it happens again, I will be sure to supply you with a bunch of screenshots :)

That's strange, normally about 1 or 2 people from Blackrock AFK in small BGs and 4-5 in AV/IoC. Never noticed 4+ AFK in a single BG yet

8 afk in 15/15 BG saw many times today.Also see ppl not taking empty base just waiting near flag etc.Just accept this system not works.

And also want to say its not only blackrock issue.When you put alliance player in horde side in bg can you expect fair fight? Sure always things gona happen like this.Just get rid of that system.Waiting quee for a fair fight much better than this.

I hope there are not alliance that don't do anything as horde since its the other fraction.
