 Voodoo Extreme: WoW Arathi Basin Battleground
Interestingly, the new Battleground seems to split the difference between the short capture-the-flag gameplay of Warsong and the marathon-length strategy-palooza that is Alterac Valley.
Unlike previous Battlegrounds, however, winning the battleground isn't a function of movement and coordination, as it is in Warsong, nor does it depend on perseverance and big-picture strategy, like Alterac.
Instead, victory in Arathi seems to be the province of out-guessing your opponent and time.

Basin (noun): A depression in either the land or ocean, reminiscent of the shape of a bowl, often sizable in dimension.

However, during further discussions, it was decided that adding a mild punishment to those who /afk out of battlegrounds, in the form of a requeue timer (Deserter debuff), would be preferable to the old "ten-minute rule" idea.
In addition, since the problem was primarily found in Arathi Basin matches held during the Arathi Basin "holiday," the developers chose to improve the way in which bonus honor was awarded during Arathi Basin holidays rather than institute the ten-minute rule.
The ten-minute rule had been implemented as part of 1.9, and was set to be removed from 1.9 as the Deserter debuff was put in place.

In CTF you might be up against a really tough team and hence leave with no bonus honor, as it is only awarded with flag captures.

I've been reading the boards pretty hardcore since the Arathi preview went live on the Korean site, and in a thread a few days ago, one of the Community Mangers mentioned that Blizzard is looking into a potentially attractive solution: cross-server Battlegrounds.
