The Spirit Towers are bugged to sometimes not count for Alliance or Horde captures, and make taking control of the Bone Wastes (required to obtain Spirit Shards) near impossible.
How it works:
In testing, it seemed random whether the tower would count or not for your faction's capture count. That is, the message "Alliance has taken control of a spirit tower" would appear in chat, but the counter would not increase in number and it would not appear as alliance-controlled. Further, if a horde character then takes over this bugged tower, it would still decrease the alliance number, creating a situation where alliance will never be able to get their faction's towers controlled counter up to 5 and win the event. And vice versa for horde.
In addition, if the number is already at zero and opposite faction takes back one of the bugged towers, it then shows the counter at 255.
How it should work:
Capturing a tower should always make the tower count go up 1.

Add: It seemse that the counter after the 6h reset doesnt get resetted properly OR the towers dont get resetted properly.
The Faction that had the buff before basicly has -2 ( 254) towers, so they never reach 5.
