Last I played WoW, Alliance's strategy in all the 40-man BGs was to run to the side to give Horde a clear path to victory, lose as fast as possible, then queue again.
In smaller BGs you'd find occasional people who genuinely tried, but there was a prevalent defeatist attitude thete too, mostly.

One faction was simply expected to always win, and people started playing into it.
