Everybody is horde. Something needs to be done ASAP

Community General Discussion

Over the course of this tier ( xpac ) I have watched at least 2 friends and/or guildies per week transfer from Alliance to Horde.

I myself have considered and fought a very hard internal battle to not transfer horde.

Horde has more players at the top level. More people to do High keys with, More guilds to chose from, and for guilds a bigger talent pool to choose from.

There are hardly any groups in LFG for +15 keys and hardly anyone signs up if I make a group. When I was searching for a guild I spoke to 30 guilds from which only 2 were alliance.

This is really bad. Unless blizzard wants everyone to be horde because that’s what will happen people will either go horde to find players to play with or just quit.

Blizzard NEEDs to open up free transfer from horde to the alliance for players and guilds.

Even Limit GM said that if it did not cost them close to $9000 to transfer they would consider going Alliance.

Merely Nerfing horde racial this late is not enough. We need free transfers from horde to alliance. You did it for servers back when servers were overpopulated so why not for factions now?

The two factions attract different types of players no way to change that. If you want to be a serious raider you have much better time if horde. Nothing blizzard can do to change player preferences.

No you are incorrect. It became this way due to Horde racials beeing OP for so long and Top guilds ( Method including ) went horde for the OP racials and after that it just causes a trickle down affect which is still going on now.

I my self love the alliance but have considered going horde becuase Alliance literally has 5% of the population of the whole high end raiding / mythic plus community.

It matters not what numbers are. It matters that at high end raiding / mythic plus the alliance is nearly dead.

I can tell you from exp as some one who is online 14 hours a day.

Only 2 m total toons at 120. though it shoes 50/50 I bet if there was option to narrow down by raider io and/or mythic bosses killed past 3/8 it would be 90/10 in favor of horde.

Go look at wowprogress if u dont beleive me

You have no idea how this works, do you? Because some of those guilds were alliance until the horde racials became too juicy. They’ve said this I believe. There’s no “one side attracts certain kinds of players”. It’s about where the power is.

My main is Horde, my 2 most played and most recent alts are Alliance; so how does that fit into your little equation?

I won’t give up my main, simply due to the amount of work I put into him and because of the guild I’m in/raid with. But I’m enjoying the Alliance toons and zones and story lines better this xpac

This is not about zones and story lines my dude. You completely missed the point of the subject.

Hey we have some of the worst storyline, we are being once again forced to watch as the writers take apart another warchief, and we have the racials that the ally complained about… and was nerfed… they come to the horde because we Are the better faction in look, atmosphere and attitude.

Your point was that everyone is switching to Horde.

I myself and a few guildies are spending more time on Alliance than our horde mains doing M+ and raids on Alliance side

As someone who has been Horde since MoP, I’ve always enjoyed Horde more. However, seeing as nearly half of my characters are Alliance, it is slightly annoying to have no one to do things with on that end.

This has nothing to do with the story. It has nothing to do with “atmosphere”.

Org has character and atmosphere… Stormwind in comparison looks and feels like a sterile version of disneyland… it might not appeal to you, but for me and many others it certainly does, after rolling a Worgen first and Orc second shortly after that, Horde had the greater appeal.
