There is no doubt that the Horde is community-wise favored in this game. Every time we complain they do something fast, the Alliance is most of the time extremely neglected until the next patch cycle or when things really go out of control.
They are already playable and in the game (Boralus). What most people don’t know is that the game uses a body mass-slider for its characters. This is also backed up by the massive topic after BlizzConline 2020 where a modder showed what everything is possible and how easy it is to implement these things into the game. They could have brought in thinner KTs within hours.
The Alliance needs updated Worgen, the Arrakoas, Jinyu and perhaps the Furbolgs to fulfill a better race diversity. The Sethrak should have been an Alliance-race but it will be a Horde-one, like the Saberons.
Alliance-players are no snobs. They are in a position where they are irrelevant because of the developers letting the issue slide and the community amplifying it. The story also focus only on humans for the most part which doesn’t help either.
The Alliance needs a complete overhaul if you ask me. Put all humans together as one single race, reduce the time to turn into a human for the Worgen and fill the other slots with fantasy races with good racials. The current Alliance cannot compete with the Horde.
It was a make-up gift for the massive backlash with the BfA-mounts and it truly belongs only to them if you know the lore. This really needs no discussion if you just google the “Alliance Horse meme” and see the comparison pictures. They deserve this mount but shouldn’t have access to a few available to the Horde.
This has nothing to do with which race/faction you play. I could have opened the topic as well because objectively speaking, the Alliance is an undesirable faction and the sooner we help them, the better it will be for the health of the game. This is supposed a 50:50 game and not a 80:20 split.
It’s just a story which can change any given minute. If they want to, they can make a campaign why the Bloodhoof Tauren would be allowed to visit Stormwind City and they will find a way.
10.0 will show if they truly learned from their mistakes.
I do hope they push the Pandaren to be more in the future. Making them perhaps neutral and able to travel in both cities would be a big thing going forward for them.
Still a better race diversity which you have to agree with.
