It does not take Admin babysitting.
It takes a reasonable player looking at a scene and say: "Okay, I log the other side".
It's that easy.
The disappointment was created by players.
And I am rather sure that even for the victorious side, this end feels stale and disappointing.
It is not the Admin's duty to babysit us when playing just because of the incapability to create an interesting environment for ourselves and each other. If we can't do that, we do not earn events, or any effort being put into this.
