Mutliboxing is plaguing Wintergrasp PvP. What could be done?

I've been joining Wintergrasp quite a bit lately.

As an alliance player I often see horde multiboxers (3-5 of them) moving in the fortress about 10 minutes before the start of each WG def. (I'm pretty sure the same applies for horde players)
So far I haven't seen any sucessfull eviction attempt against them. (The only time I saw people almost kill them was when they brought multiboxers too)
They proceed to spawn kill everyone that joins the battle within the first 10-20 seconds which makes it pretty much impossible to defend.
A few times they also managed to push up to the fortress graveyard and block 50-75% of the enemy team in there during the game.
I would not mind if it was a premade, there is a way to expell them, they need the numbers to be effective,... With multiboxers 3-5 guys can lock the fortress on their own with very little/no ways to be countered.

Why are 1% of the playerbase able to have so much impact on the battleground? And it's almost always the same guys.

How is multiboxing still allowed in PvP ?
What does it bring to the average player ?
The only counterplay to multiboxing is... Multiboxing... Which makes the issue even worse.

So I made this post to start a discussion on what could be done? Banning multiboxing from pvp? Allowing it but with less than 5 characters at the time?

Multiboxing should be allowed only in WPvP, not in BG's/WG.

This would be much fair.

Damn!!! 3-5 multiboxers with a total of 15-25 chars managed to lock the fortress against a army of 60-90 chars???
These guys must be like the 300 spartans who hold the ground against 10k persians. The only other explanation could be that your team was really bad....

Why do you need people to hold your hand? Multiboxes can't even defend their clones when they're separated. If you look at the end result of the GVY being camped after you were incompetent all of the WG match to enable that, it can happen without mboxes too. The GMs can't give you competent decisions.

It was worse when they had 40 toons, warmane wanted to keep them as long as they can but couldnt stop everyday complains eventually and finally decided to limit, lowering their "donate" money :D. I doubt that they will do anything about this anymore since its not seen as a real problem by many (compared to before) atm.

Make a group for that bro, 5 chars as multiboxing is not that much like it was few years ago, so stop complaining about it and deal with it.

Horde multiboxing? :D funny, 95% of time alliance multiboxing for life :)
However... they're right... stop complaining, they are financing server so... just stop playing WG like i did.. problem solved... let nolifers enjoy they parade :) In the end, it's all they've got.

Ah, so you’re suggesting I should form a raid with myself, huh? That’s cute. Maybe next time I'll just split into five people like you split your brain cells to come up with that brilliant plan. But hey, if multiboxing is just 'not that much' these days, why don’t you take a break from defending it and actually learn to play one character properly? Or is that too much of a challenge? Don’t worry, I’ll wait while you figure out how to move all five of your characters out of the fire at the same time.

This literally summarizes the whole situation. People think the game should be adjusted to compensate for them but what they're failing to acknowledge is this game was designed before participation awards went viral.

Welcome to games with teamwork. You either work together, die together, or get booted for failing to pull your own weight. It's actually based on what humans have been doing for 1000s of years and the sudden regression is incredible.

Well take cannons and shoot at them. or ram them with demolishers. whatever works

I'm tired of multiboxing in PVP, and the only ones who defend it are those who use it.
