The solution is there, you just don’t want to hear it.
There is a number out there that will cause horde mains to reroll Alliance.

I legitimately would rather uninstall than main horde.
This imbalance is an issue but its been made clear by leadership at the WoW team that they couldn’t give a damn about it.
That’s fine tho. I don’t care if everyone else leaves this faction and I’m the only one left on the Alliance. I’ll either go down swinging or just leave the game.

Meh. I hate The Horde cities and love the alliance cities however I dislike the alliance races and I like The Horde races a lot better especially the horde Allied races.
So it wasn’t too much of a big deal for me
Done! 
Do racial’s really make that big of a difference for min/max players in mythic raiding content?
No they don’t. Unless you were in the top 2% of whatever content you were doing they really don’t come into play at all.
They use to matter a lot though before they were all nerfed and people still have that mindset for some reason.
The only game changing racial I’ve ever seen is shadowmeld. When used correctly it can be game-changing
I’ve also heard shadowmeld is pretty amazing if used correctly. I however have no idea how it can really be used in that sense. You can’t use it in combat from what I understand, so it basically can just be a strong opener?
after i read OP racials. i stopped reading.
Which is a good thing.
There shouldn’t be divisions between the player base.
You use it in combat to drop combat. If you watch the MDI, you see a lot of the teams playing almost entirely as night elves. They can skip large swaths of trash with the ability without having to use a death skip.

Very cool. Had no idea!
Didn’t the major shift happened because of the goblin racial being really good on one Legion Raid boss?
Honestly, at this point, it is a problem only players can solve, if anything is made in game, it can bring other problems and more controversy.
BGs for one. A post looks empty but there is a DK there Shadowmelded. Alll of a sudden you get death gripped out of nowhere? Also a hunter pops stampede? SM all the pets run away. Buys you a few seconds.
Your doing solo PVE content. Pull a whole area to get to 1 guy? SM The Mob runs away. Its great. When used right. I was a NE DK before the faction change
Oh? And what number is that?
We don’t know, because any time there is a discussion about making Alliance racials OP, horde freak out.
Not advocating for it, but a 50% to all stats would guarantee do it. The actual number is far below that, but it is there.

Give the horde the water goblins from naz that they deserve for an allied race. Give alliance a feline equivalent of Vulpera. That alone will help a bit.
Give horde undead elves for AR. Give alliance a true interesting AR for worgen. Dragon aspect with an elf base race. This alone will boost alliance massively. Horde would cry, so maybe something else like incredible hulk.
Make a neutral high elf that you can quest for as a blood elf or void elf. Quests involve getting rid of your void and fel infusion. Make it very time consuming and challenging, maybe even loremaster requirement. This will help focus those obsessed with HE. And alliance gain more from a neutral since BElves are almost High Elf anyway. I don’t want to give up a good AR for high Elves, so neutral is better.

I mean, sure, there are things that Blizz can do (reblanace racials, offer free faction switches, cap the number of horde players on a server ect.), it’s just that doing them would ultimately piss off the larger slice of the consumer pie and may not even net the desired results of increasing the alliance player base.
Better choice for alliance would be Ankoan, since theres good lore there for them and the Jinyu, plus you’d get the first non-mammalian allied race.
There are too many god damn elves in the first place.
Just make Alliance the PvP faction, they already have begun to establish a grip in the Arena ladders. This may put incentive to also make PvP viable to run without doing PvE (so vendors and what not).
