I suppose I’m a bad WOW player, because I don’t keep up with the lore, but at times jump through the forums and read stuff ( bad me). I never saw that list? I know there are people so very interested in PVP and are disappointed in the current situation. I use to do PVP sometimes, just cuz …but if it’s not what you try to be good at, it really doesn’t help. I think I mostly get annoyed at the Bliss now …
Eh, I made a very long post a couple years ago as to why I sympathize with Sylvanus. That post got a bit of hate but looking into her reasons and a lot of what she did in the beginning were meant in good will.
Most people commented on the tree she burnt down.
Her exact words were “I’m freeing them”
As a person that was unable to control her own actions until she broke free. It felt almost as if she couldn’t tell the difference from her past situation and Worship essentially. that’s just one of many examples. Also can’t blame her for wanting revenge or being so angry.
A lot of people seem to forget how she was victimized and how she was outcasted after gaining her free will back.
Its when people look outside of themselves and understand other peoples situations that truly move me.
That being said I saw her redemption arc a mile away and was very surprised that others didn’t see it coming.

The faction doesn’t reflect a player’s character in this game. Their character is defined by the game world they come from. Every time I see players from Ragnaros, I brace myself for toxicity.

horde players enjoy the world, races, (sometimes) story, and overall aggressiveness the horde brings (it gets the anger out of them, so they’re quite chill from what i’ve seen).
meanwhile, alliance players are bitter, and don’t care about anything other than getting whatever content they’re doing done. unless they’re on moonguard, of course. then they care about other things, like trolling and having a good time in goldshire.
i mean, when your races are’nt interesting and are playable in just-about every other rpg game, it does’nt exactly encourage you to get in the spirit of playing them, y’know?
what i’m saying is, horde is kinder, but alliance is more focused. atleast, that’s what i’ve experienced over the years.

I enjoy the tribal loyalty aspect of their lore.

that too, that too. i just remember folks being kind and understanding on the horde back when i was a newblet in MoP, and the moment i went to try-out alliance, i got bullied and picked-on for questing in the wrong zone.
there was no ‘hey, your level 10, you should head over to redridge mountains or westfall’ instead i got called an idiot, forcefully challenged to duel after duel that i lost cause i was low level, until i gave-up and stopped playing alliance for like, a year or two.
…had a pretty-big chip on my shoulder about that… till i made a friend on the wandering isle, and they got me to give the alliance a second-shot.
It’s not about what faction they play, it’s about the content they do.
This has also been a factor I noticed from attempting both sides. Alot of kids on that side probably. Any game I’ve played where people choose the “good side” its almost always the same type of people I come across.
What people fail to understand is the good side is what’s considered politically correct. Its not always the right decision.
Kind of like if Batman killed the joker he would of saved thousands of lives but believes in doing the “right thing”

I have played mostly horde since 2007 but I have played some expansions as Alliance and from personal experience there are jerks and nice people on both sides…
i’m… not sure what you mean about politically correctness, but the batman/joker analogy i understood. 
Easy if you don’t agree with the rules society has placed on you, join the horde lol.
Just as Metzen intended

see, i see the good-guy factions/endings/etc in games to just be the more morally upstanding choice. politicalness does’nt usually tie into it.
i mean, in bioshock the good ending is the one where you don’t kill the little girls, compared to the bad and worst endings having you follow what’s politically correct in the game.
but then again… i have’nt played any games lately that have moral choices in them… hmm… 
In fallout the brotherhood of steal is kind of considered a politically correct option imo.
However most people hate them. They don’t believe anything outside of humans or contaminated by the wasteland should survive.
but lets be real. If I were a wastelander I’d prolly join them just from having clean water and a platoon at my side alone to protect myself from the dangeres of the wasteland.
but by no means would I consider them good people.
well, in fallout 3 they save your bacon from the enclave, teach you to wear power-armor (if you don’t have dlc) and generally help you out, alongside yeah, the water thing. i’d consider them good people. not the best people, but overall good people.
…it’s actually cause of fallout 3 i can’t beat new vegas. my gut tells me i owe the brotherhood for helpin me out, and can’t get myself to put them down for mr.house, therefore i’m softlocked by my own moral-compass.
only bad thing they did? betray their original goal, and kick out a bunch of their members. but aside from that, they’re not bad people.

Your talking about the OUTCASTS!
I love the Outcasts lol. They fit my moral compass.

lol well, the outcasts are just the guys that did’nt want to betray their original goal of hording technology.
…and they painted their armor like shadow the hedgehog for some reason…
or uh… ryuko matoi from kill la kill.
or ellen joe, and zhu yuan from zenless zone zero- you get the picture. 
They also don’t believe technology should be preserved specifically for government but for everyone.
The brotherhood sees technology as the downfall of man and don’t want it in the wrong hands.
But thats the same concept of does a gun kill people or do people kill people?

idk theres really no faction identity anymore. I don’t think theres a difference.
