World PvP? Horde < Ally

Alright now, I can't be the only poor Horde soul who noticed this trend.
Alliance is favored in world pvp by Blizzard. There I said it.
And now that I have! Some evidence to back up my claims.
Numero Uno, my good fellow WoWheaders, would be Orgimmar vs Stormwind.
Now let's try to raid Orgrimmar. Theoretically of course.
The group of Alliance simply enters through the back door of Org, walks by our ever so present gaurds, (drenched in sarcasm that part is), and right into Thrall's room...which isn't very big or protected at all for a war-chief.
Now my kiddies, let us raid Stormwind shall we?
We hordies go straight through the front, as there is no other convienient method, half of us get either
A) Lost
B) A watery death into the canals
or
C) Beaten to a pulp my SW's massive amount of guards.
Now is it me? Or do all Horde cities, battlegrounds, and everything else give a slight advantage to the Alliance? Anyone have a reason for this?
Or did Alliance simply have more thought put into them during Beta-testing for Vanilla?
Questions?
Comments?
Anyone?

No I do not think Allaince is favored at all in PvP. It was only recently that blizzard saw fit to alter Alliance racials to make it more balanced.
Human racials *cough* cough* most OP racials, just see what happens in a rogue on rogue duel if one of them is not human and the other is.
Since the debate seems to be about cities, here is the summary:
Alliance cities are harder to access, but horde city leaders have adds and are harder to kill. Overall the alliance have an advantage because the biggest issue for a city boss raid is not the boss, but the interfering enemy players. It is much easier to interfere in a city like Stormwind or Ironforge then in Ogrimmar or Thunderbluff.

One extremely important thing not mentioned is the fact that Alliance has 2 major home cities (SW and IF) whereas Horde has just 1 (Ogr) That means the alliance player base is split in half between 2 cities decreasing the amount of available defenders. And while one element of difficulty is actually reaching the City bosses, the other, more important aspect is the number of player defenders
participating. So while its easy to enter Ogr through the backdoor, the vast majority of Hordies accessing the AH etc are ready to defend. (this is why almost every alliance raid starts at ogr first, because its by far the hardest to accomplish).
No offense, but if npc guards are giving you issues, then you have no right to be raiding a city in the first place.
Oh yea, all the people QQ about human racials....... humans got that fairly recently, whereas undead have had will of the forsaken forever.

I was totally coming in here to flame when I read the title of this thread. Glad I actually read what the OP said. I totally agree, when it comes to raiding the major cities, Alliance have an advantage.
As far as BGs go, I can understand the frustration over SoTA. All the others are pretty damn equal.

Aha! Well that's good. I'm not just deluded ;)
I'm glad that most of you agree, and to those who don't...hmmm well I can't really see some of your views because on my server the Alliance outnumber us Hordies 3:1 easy. (Okay well, like 2.6, but you get the idea.)
And its not so much the city gaurds I was QQing about, more or less their annoyance to already confusing areas :D
But really? C'mon. Most people can look at Orgs map and navigate it easy enough, but I'd really like to see one of you try and navigate through SW only using the map and only being there once or twice ;)
Only reason I know is because I've got a human specifically for the job :D

As for faction cities:
Exodar: Probably would be hard but it is deserted and remote.
The backdoor (closer to the boat and unguarded, iirc) leads straight to the Vault of Lights where Velen hangs out.
You have posts on his page here on Wowhead claiming that people have 3-manned him.
I don't think Exodar supports the case of Alliance capitals being more difficult to storm...
Well no, I'm simply stating that most Alliance cities have the edge, Besides, since when did Exodar be the one that actually counted? I used SW in my example simply because compared to Org, its a labryrinth.
Exodar itself is cake, just as SMC is for Alliance. :P
