The lag is game breaking and after a game you get kicked out of the zone for no reason.
Wintergrasp used to be this epic battle between the factions on your own server but now it’s just a broken battleground. After the battle the zone used to be full of world pvp and quest turn in and farming but now it’s just a dead soulless zone that doesn’t make any sense what so ever.
It can’t be like it was back then tho.
For example…
How would “Gehennas” ever be able to get a wintergrasp going? It’s 99% horde.
I really don’t see what that has to do with the game breaking lag and getting kicked out of the zone after a game.
If you fly into the zone during a “battle” you get dismounted and can only use ground mount for whatever reason so you can’t get out of the zone and then again you get teleported to Dalaran shortly after. Why is that?
Currently wintergrasp is played like any battleground that takes people from all servers to make a 120 man Vs 120 man raid.
They do this because otherwise it would be impossible to do WG for some servers.
This is why you get kicked after a match… since it is just an instanced BG now and not an actual zone.
I barely do it at this point and when I do decide to do it, im dreading the experience.
If you are inside the zone when Wintergraps starts you can join the game. After the game is over you are back in Wintergrasp but you get teleported out of the zone.

It’s like they want the zone to be dead for some reason.
In Wotlk retail after a battle everyone would be pvp flagged even on PvE servers so the battle would carry on for a while after.
That’s why I am saying that Wintergrasp is ruined. It’s not even playable due to lag (why is there lag in an instance? That doesn’t maker sense) and on top of that they destroyed any realm identity and world pvp associated with the zone and on top of that they just made it frustrating in general with the dismount and teleport. It’s totally soulless and barren now. Ruined.
First and foremost, fix the lag. It’s game breaking right now.
Secondly, after a game; players should in my opinion be teleported to the wintergrasp zone. The very least if you are already in the zone before the game start you should not be teleported out of the zone for arbritary reasons.
Back in OG WotLK, wintergrasp lag was far worse. There was literally nothing you could press. Input was delayed by atleast 5 minutes.
Current Wintergrasp is a bit better than it was back then and I’m pretty sure Blizzard doesn’t have the hardware to resolve the lag.
Actually I agree on this point. It feels more like the retail version of Wintergrasp than a remake of the original. The lag is unbearable, plus most guys just go Wintergrasp for stupid bashing and don’t even understand the mechanics. I just wanted to join to do the fishing daily, but horde lost the match after 5 min and I got kicked out asap. And if I’m not mistaken, you have to check the NPC occasionally to know when it’s starting? Couldn’t there be a server wide announce or so? Blizz do something against your server probs!! It’s obvious, the situation got worse since all EU servers are maintained in UK …
