Complains about furries yet says prefer final fantasy with it’s cat bunny gal/guys and ten versions of human.
Final fantasy would just slap scales and horns onto a grey human and call that a dragon.
Least all wow races have a distinct silhouette which is important for variety people play alliance for the aesthetic … I turned this toon alliance the moment the patch hit so…
Funnily enough, as soon as crossfaction dropped almost all of the top M+ players went alliance for dwarf (assuming dwarf could be their class, and dwarf can be the meta classes anyway).
I’ve heard that before, and nothing really changed.
It’s like the Doomsayers on the forums - that are utterly convinced when they say ‘Horde will be over’ for all servers ‘when X thing happens!’ - then … well, as we both know (especially for US servers) the Horde’s still standing. lol
Do we have current numbers for this?
Call me crazy… but this is kind of one reason why I like playing Alliance. Something about being the underdog - and boy does it make each kill even sweeter 
Then again, if I get ganked, I just get up and brush it off before moving on with my day. Such is Alliance WM lol
(Also… I am shallow and like our cities. We have furniture.)
“Almost all” was poor word choice, but in my defense it’s 6 am here and I haven’t slept yet 
But browsing leaderboards of the top push teams, a lot of them went dwarf.
MDI has been an entirely alliance affair and Alliance has been the stronger faction on paper for while but the inability to source good players has prevented people from switching full time. This recent change has removed that barrier so now a LOT of people are switching to the stronger racials safe in the knowledge they are not going to hurt their chances in the long run.
This will not make much of a difference to the low and middling players as those people were never going to group with them anyway. The group finder is showing more activity though in my humble… but who knows, so many people have left the game and I don’t think this will bring them back. This will be a percentage change that Blizzard may or may not deign to tell us, but I don’t see it changing the experience we feel on the ground much. The people who want to Mythic + all day got more choices though. And larger guilds over time may open up cross faction guilds they can now source from to fill raids.
That has nothing to do what what I was saying. Nor was it what I was saying at all.
What I was saying is I am shocked how many people came Alliance during this last sale. I was expecting Ally players to go Horde. Not the other way around.
Thats all I was saying.
^^ This man gets it.
Everyone should aspire to this level of enlightenment.
Be like Shreddie, people.
A simple misunderstanding, apologies.
But yeah, it’s ironic when we think X thing would happen with Y effect, and the opposite happens instead. 
We don’t have enough information to form solid opinions so we often get it wrong. Opinions get solidified in the forum outrage/pity party and before you know it, we’re arguing about “facts” that don’t exist.
Don’t forget to mention AOO, 15+% currency bonus, Chromie Time, and other goodies the Alliance got exclusively. Blizz didn’t think it was fair that one faction would be penalized, because when you do that you’d only put the shoe on the other foot.
The Horde would be reduced to ghost towns. Is that what the Alliance wants? Then no WPvP would happen at all because nobody would play Horde.
Wha?
alliance is just generic boring tolkien fantasy and all of the interesting aspects of it were erased when they made a high king
personally i think it would be more interesting if they rotated leaders in and out as high king/queen of the alliance
I spend most of my time in FFXIV these days. Unless you’re grinding M+, there really isn’t anything to do in WoW.
The existential purpose of Chromie Time was exclusive to one faction. Horde can use it too, but we all know that when BOTH factions were told X times to turn WM off if you don’t want to be ganked. But one faction complained whilst still getting 25-30% xp bonus most weeks and the system protected them from getting thru places the Horde would be waiting.
It didn’t matter to the Horde because 10% wasn’t a dealbreaker. They can easily turn off WM and level up nearly just as fast. But one faction thought it was unfair that greater dangers came, ironically the same that justified having a bigger WM bonus in the first place!
Chromie Time was probably the worst of all offenders, and a cautionary tale of being careful what you wish for.
Space goats that the only reason you need and there is even 2 flavors of them now
I pick alliance for two reasons.
one, draenei, who can deny the /waggle.
and two, their capital is easier to traverse than the hordes. Hordes is very authentically savage looking, very imposing, but I get lost everytime I go there. lol
Says the Blood Elf.
What race did you change to? 
/looks at race
Uh huh… I don’t believe you.
