Alliance teamwork

[:1]Alliance teamwork, a miracle at best and a strife and improbability at the very least. To all Alliance, for the love of everything dear to you, please stick together and to the brilliant 'leeroys' out there who run in to multitudes of Horde, did you honestly think you were that skilled that you could wipe out 6-8 Hordes single-handedly AND capture the flag / cap the base? If that's your idea of winning a battleground or farming honor points then you have another thing coming. I am always polite when trying to suggest to my group to stick together and almost always either get the finger, a troll spamming caps in response to me or no one says anything and we lose anyway. Before you tell me to shove it, or complain about my gear, please consider that I am doing my very best to gear up and that we all start somewhere. So... Should I make a macro asking Alliance to stick together or will I just be wasting my breath? Any (polite and civil) suggestions on how I / we might be able to overcome this issue and start working together?
I would try and bring friends with you that know how to follow directions. It could help, as there will be less clueless people running around. I gave up on trying to instruct others, as they either won't listen, or I'll get very nasty responses (then again, I deserve it for typing rather than fighting)

But, if you really wanted to try and get others to listen, try and call out INC's and who has the flag, and call out healers! Surely, they won't ignore that....I mean, if you call out their healer, that HAS to be useful information!
You don't. Assuming that the unwashed masses even considered looking here in the first place to learn, they're all illiterate apes that can only smash their face against the keyboard.

So, a moot point.
I think it's a waste. I always call out incs and tell people where the EFC is going, whatever it takes to get people moving in the right direction but sometimes...a lot of the time, actually...my information is ignored...

I've asked for people to defend towers until they cap in AV only to be ignored every single solitary time. I've lost almost every AV match I've entered because everyone rushes past the towers and then stands around flirting with Drek. The Horde comes in, defends Galv, recaps all their towers, and still manages to down ours in the process.

I've asked for people to defend me when I'm carrying the flag in Twin Peaks and been ignored a good portion of the time, too. One match, I had no defense at all. None. My entire team clumped up in mid like smelly dog crap so I ran up to get the flag myself. I said "help" in BG chat 3 times. I even began to run towards my group and ping the map to try to get their attention. Not once did anyone move in my direction, even when I was within sight. After 4 deaths trying to get the flag, I tabbed out of the game to surf the forums. I'd had enough. And yet, this team that was so stupid had the presence of mind to report me AFK...but didn't have the presence of mind to leave mid for over 15 minutes... So I ran back in, hit someone with Ice Lance, ran away and disappeared. I wasn't about to take the debuff for that, they had to have been the worst team I've ever seen.

The examples of stupidity continue on to SotA where no one will get demos. Everyone will clump up at the yellow gate and leave the demos sit. Only one or two here and there will go out and I'm like really?.... Then you've got WsG which is the same as TP. The only BG I've had good experiences with is Gilneas. I don't know why that is...

Sadly, I've had so many experiences like this that I'm kicking myself for going Alliance. I'd be kicking my brother for talking me into it if he weren't 300 miles away...that'll have to wait until Easter break...
Horde: a teeming crowd or throng : swarm
Alliance: an association to further the common interests of the members; specifically : a confederation of nations by treat

And yet....
