See this is a false equivalency.
SMC is more akin to Ironforge or Exodar
And again, I couldn’t give two gnome craps about Bel’ameth and Gilneas, never went back after the quests involving them.

It isn’t a slight at the Alliance that they only get partial access either. In fact it’s more than they deserve.
That’s good advice. Stay hydrated, kings.

Thanks for proving my point. The Third War happened BEFORE WoTLK. WoTLK is when Dalaran and Kirin Tor became neutral bc they realized there were more important things to solve vs war between the factions. It has been neutral since WoTLK. They were only alliance affiliated for 2 expansions.
And still a member of the Alliance, literally confirmed by Jaina herself.

You keep saying this like as if it’s gonna make someone feel bad for you or something, people don’t need to feel sorry for you and again it’s not an equality issue until we as Horde players can actually visit an Alliance capital city.

It makes perfect sense. The so-called removal of factions is in certain premade content, it’s not overall.
It’s still a Horde city and should stay that way.

You can thank Tyrande for that. As much as people want to look at the Alliance as “peace, love, and puppy dogs” they tend to be the most bigoted and self-righteous, especially Tyrande. To me she’s one of the most insufferable characters spanning back to WC3.
When the Nightborne were debating on who to join, they were looking at the Night Elves since they were technically closer to them. But Tyrande was like “yeah no, we don’t need a bunch of addicts, and we don’t like the Highborne even though you’re different and Thalyssra is in charge you can pack sand.”
Blood Elves came in and were like “yeah we feel you and we got you homies”.

Why should they be doing that when you didn’t even do it? Where was the outrage when they announced that the next hub will be a Horde city. No, instead you all jumped up and down at the prospect of the Horde losing their city to neutrality. How excited you were until you found out that neutrality isn’t what you were expecting and now, all of a sudden you speak about equality. Even if you don’t know what the hell you on about because neither of your examples have ever been a racial faction city. They could have been but sadly no demand. That’s not on the Horde. That’s on you, the Alliance fanboys.

Remember when an expansion had two separate introductions. Now we just get off the boat, pass a beer, give hugs, grab a sword and get to stabbing because evil Toe Jam Void Dead Elf impersonator is gonna kill us all.
Remember when we had DMZs? Nope. The Scar could be our new DMZ all the way to Tranquillien

I think we should instead be demanding that they make better decisions instead of going eye-for-an-eye on it.
This just emphsizes my point that they should never do this kind of release again. If they’re barred from releasing information provided at the event to the worldwide audience until after the events conclusion… then they should never have provided it at the event. Or Provided the information before the event outside the even to bypass the “New information” release restriction rules or something.
All of this, could have, potentially, been mitigated thru a timely release of information. Instead we’re bickering about a statement, based around another statement. We’re playing the game Telephone, and we’re seeing exactly how that plays out.

Alliance players deserve a hub of eqaul quality to what the horde get.
Regardless of whether thats silvermoon or not.
Alliance players do not deserve a small fraction of whats meant to be the expansion hub while the horde get all of it.

After having to deal with Gilneas and Bel’ameth, this response is perfectly understandable.
Rationalize it all you want, it’s true.

“The alliance won’t have full access to a Horde capital, it means it is a garbage decision.”
You know, if you want full access, hey, the Horde is there, and waiting for you.

I completely agree that it would be much better for Blizzard to put in the effort and resources to give you your own hub, outside of and far away from SMC preferably.
We should be demanding that rather than trying to cry our way to conquest of a Horde city.

This is a non issue for me. The faction “war” has been dead for a long time now so w/e
So the alliance is helping the Silvermoon and the horde not get rekt by the Void and you think acting like they are second rate citizens is fine?

That’s just not true. I’ve seen people complain about how Stormwind is “prettier” than Orgrimmar numerous times.
And some who, for some reason, want to RP vulpera in Stormwind. That seems to be a thing.
Semi-Related Tangent:
Personally I think it’d be neat if neutral races were actually, y’know, neutral. Not neutral 'til they pick a side. Get an option to swap back and forth so you can hang out with Horde friends as a pandaren/dracthyr/etc then do the switcheroo and hop over to Stormwind. It doesn’t make much sense to me for the guards to go, “That Earthen is with the HORDE” and start attacking them when they’re quite notably fine traveling between lands.

No it wasn’t. If you people would just drop that pettiness and instead focused on what you really wanted, maybe you’d get it. Tell me, was it that important to be in the belf city on your Alliance alt? Was it worth Gilneas for example?

You don’t even understand what I said.
The garbage decisions were Gilneas and Bel’ameth, being consistent with those garbage decisions would be letting Alliance have free reign of the city.
Wrong.
I want factions to remain a thing, and for it to be applied evenly across the board.
But it’s apparently not. Rather it’s a two-tiered system, where Alliance lose and Horde more or less maintain.
