After completing the first part in Thunder Bluff, Where there were two Baine Bloodhoolf’s - The second part is tuned horribly. I was doing it as level 50 and the NPCs are hitting the vehicle for 100% of its health while I’m doing 150-200dmg to monsters that have 75k HP.
The only saving grace is the vehicle can’t die but I’m expected to kill 23 monsters with this vehicle to complete the quests.
This is the next 2 hours of my life, I guess.
I did it when it was live. I wish I could say I had sympathy for the two hours you have to spend versus the almost 90 hours I spent.
I would spend 90 hours on a compelling narrative in a heartbeat over just watching these stupid mobs hit an undying vehicle. I’ve done high mountain multiple times on multiple toons just never enough to unlock the race.
i’ve done every racial unlock on one character. This one. Every allied race that has ever existed was unlocked by this druid while doing all of the content while the content was live. If you can’t be asked to put in the work, then you probably shouldn’t come here to complain about it.
Oh, you think I’m some newbie kid that’s come to the forums to complain. I get you. I’m not complaining about the time investment. I’m complaining because the experience that’s being provided is HORRENDOUS and couldn’t be the experience they want someone to have unlocking the races when it’s not how the others are.
Note: I started playing in patch 1.9, got rank 13 under the original PVP system, and now code addons. My main toon has like 300 hours played or something.
Hi.
it has never been easier to unlock old Allied races. The only two that are even super complicated anymore are mechagnomes and KulTirans.
you have to complete one achievement and then go to the horde Embassy and that may have even changed in recent months. And I don’t call anybody a kid even if I am old enough to be most people‘s father. I’m just saying two hours of effort is not that difficult regardless of somebody’s opinion of the content. If you want it bad enough to do it. If it sucks, don’t do it.
I ended up just gathering everything in the cave and AoEing them down in a corner. It’s still horrible but only took me 30mins and you kept me company. 
i’m glad you got it all done. Enjoy those high mountain Tauren 
I know I enjoyed mine.
That was only the first vehicle quest, apparently.
you’ll get there. 
May want to add at least 1 more 0 to that number 
My main since wrath has over 10k hours played. I’d assume someone that has had that as their main since vanilla to have at least that much.
oh, did I say hours? I meant DAYS. 288 DAYS. (which is almost 7000 hours)
kul tiran humans have possibly by far the longest and most tedious recruitment questline (you have to travel all over the place in kul tiras) and its weird cause its the worst looking race from the allied races, nightborne have the best and shortest questline, which is both interesting and non-tiring
Oof don’t remind me how painful KT were when they were current lol. All the other allied were a breeze.
The main issue is most of the locked/hero races don’t have good racials except 2-3. Racials should be done away with and all races should be available to anyone at start. It’s unfortunate the tiny characters are the meta right now (except NE) which most people don’t like.
well, as someone who has pretty close to 34,000 hours in this game, I can assure you if it’s not worth the squeeze walk away from the juice 
but… but… I went to the horde just to unlock them. 
Shadow of the Darkness has 149K HP and the vehicle doesn’t have an autoattack. FML

Time to put on some Spotify and just vibe while hitting 1.
These things still need to be unlocked? I thought they removed the requirements a while back.
The only requirement now is being above level 40 with that faction and doing a small quest line. pretty sure the OP is alliance only which is what’s taking longer.
