Fellow Hordies, What Would Make You Roll Alliance?

All the talk of faction imbalance. I’m curious what it would take for some of Team Red to flip sides.

I am but a simple hunter. More interesting races in the Alliance would compel me to make the switch.

I have Alliance characters. I would be playing them way more often if the brutosaur mount wasn’t being removed.

Nothing, to be honest. I’m established in Horde with my guild, and a roleplayer. All of my stories are around the toons I have currently, and the Alliance do not match the aesthetic/mentality I enjoy. I play outcasts an monsters.

Alliance… tend to turn their backs on anything ‘different’. (Edit: Specifically citing forsaken here, of whom I play with a lot, along with San’layn. Since this is what’s setting people off, I’m making this addition. Alliance aren’t as open minded to undead, and once again, not fun thematically to ME PERSONALLY). So do Horde, but that’s a bit less of a problem. In general, thematically, TO ME, Horde are more interesting.

Do I like the storyline for them from BfA? Not at all, I hated every second of it. But the whole ‘mixture of odd races’ ON THE HORDE really appeals to me. The only thing I’d enjoy is if they let us have neutral guilds, in which mine would be one. I don’t hate the Alliance, and they have some interesting races and stories. I just enjoy the Horde better and it fits my antihero characters more.

Edit: Because apparently I’m offending people by the “Alliance are less tolerant” thing and people just can’t seem to accept other’s opinions, my point is Horde are generally more tolerant.

It’d be nice if other people’s preferences didn’t offend people and they could accept that some might like the Horde better than the Alliance. Gods forbid I enjoy the faction I’m on and the races I play, there’s no need to get up and arms and rude about my preferences.

We’re going to add the fact that I also dislike the Alliance community heavily to my list of ‘why I’d never main Alliance’. Sure, I dislike the Horde community often too, but… yeah, Alliance have been much worse in my eyes from what I’ve seen on the forums and roleplay community.

Nothing. It’s a dead faction full of bad PVPers. I spent a decade on alliance already, I’m not going through it again.

Nothing. I have a few worgen I play, but they’re only alts I pick up every now and then. I like the Horde asthetic and the lore is so much more appealing. Alliance has too much of that goody too shoes vibe thing going for it. “BYE THE LIGHT!” It’s like being forced to sit through a long episode of Barney.
I can only handle so much of that.

Been there, done that. For two and a half years. I’m fine where I’m at now.

I still have a couple of alts there but I only really play them when I get bored.

reptilian race

i always play reptilian/lizard races in every game where its possible. if allies got saurok/sethrak/lizardmen, I would have a new main alt.

(favored alt, I mean. i have allies, its just they’re not very interesting)

Yea, horde gets some. Hard to beat that when you’re just a tool to further the horde story.

Have won nazjatar in warmode more often as alliance hmm…

I would be playing Alliance if my friends played Alliance, but they insist on playing Horde only unfortunately

That’s because you’re on an rp server. Try that on another realm type. Far as I know doing open world max level stuff with warmode on is best as alliance on NA rp realms.

That has to do with the fact that ruin gaming has an operation set up to farm Battle of Nazjatar by flooding it with raid groups.

Nothing, the Alliance are a bunch of whining cry babies with a victim complex.
Don’t want any part of that.

Horde have this delusional idea that 7v1 wpvp ganks determines player skill. Yet in BGs the win ratio is almost even.

Stormwind destroyed, Ironforge new capital

Generic castletown, and the generic fantasy vibe of the faction in general, are what make me hate it
