I need some advice. I've gotten EVERY elder but one (

)
And while it seems like a pretty easy elder to get, Alliance NEVER win WG on my realm so it's literally impossible to get at the moment.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on getting it? maybe some trick to get in? or should I just hope for the best and hope we win -once- before lunar festival is over?

Well, can't you just fly in (he's inside the room before the instance) and get the quest instantly when you touch ground? That way guards will be too late to kill you.

Well...I would but there are two fairly large doors blocking my way. We never even crack the doors so its a bit impossible.

If you never win WG, you can't possibly be the only person in that situation .. maybe you could recruit a premade to win it at an off-hour? A bit of planning and stationing people at the workshops and at the fort's tower guns before the battle starts should ensure a win.
good idea...but its way easier said than done.

When do you normally play? Blizzard has the Wintergrasp battle intentionally set up so that it's
incredibly
unlikely for one side to lose ever battle.
The more frequently you lose, the faster your faction gains full vehicle rank in later attempts. My guess is that you've just been unlucky enough to not be on for a battle that your faction has won.

I think I'm missing something. I thought the doors were open between battles. Can't you just fly in through the doors, collect the coin and die?
Or is the Elder just there during the battles? That would be odd.

The door is only open between battles if it was broken open during the previous battle. Otherwise, the only way into the chamber is to use the teleport pad, and that's only available to the faction controlling WG.
You should be on my server, Alliance only has WG after restarts.
WG seems to be biased toward Alliance on my server. That doesn't alter the fact that the Horde does occasionally control WG. It's just a matter of getting on when that happens.

I think you're right, considering we normally start WG with instant max rank...but the problem is that the horde still seem to beat us. Either they're THAT good, or have much more people(Considering we get that buff that gives us more health/damage/etc)

Our server gets beaten by lag more frequently than anything else. I've been in a decent number of battles where we are in the interior courtyard with several minutes remaining, and simply cannot win because the Alliance piles a hundred people into the courtyard, causing lag spikes from HEFL and resulting in a loss.

hmm, I guess I just have to hope for the best, than. Or pray a gm will show some form of mercy(as unlikely as it seems)

The other possibility would be to try the "die and rez" trick - get killed on the steps, come back as a ghost (if it lets you - does the autorez apply when Wintergrasp isn't in battle mode?) and walk through the doors, then rez on the other side.
