Horde already has 70% of the "active" player base

queuing LFG …there’s no consequences when that happens. if you’re a belf healer, they just let the mobs kill ya. dont taunt or just boot you

asking for the real world to seep into our beloved wow. just give elves their own faction.

82

And I thought the lore was reason enough to never play Horde…

83

Yes alliance is dead. There are hardly any keys in LFG above 10. Only average of one key above 15 through out the day.

Hard to find players to join you’re group.

For players it’s hard to find guilds and for guilds it’s hard to find players.

I’m lossing 1 guildie and / or Friend transferring horde per week.

On horde side there are multiple keys above 15 all the time and even some 20s listed during peak times.

Out of top 100 guilds only 4 are alliance.

This is not about racials anymore this is a snowball effect

Everyone is going horde just so they have people to play with

some will do that if your hair is blonde or white. whereas elf players tend to have no problems with hair color

85

and zandalaris will not help that either. many elves are gonna roll zandas, so that’ll help balance the elf faction if we can get one.

You made me lol. <3

What this really says is that there are more Horde guilds doing active Mythic raiding and clearing it successfully – it really doesn’t take anything else into account although I think you get a small amount of points for normal kills.

Of course everybody knows there are considerably more active Horde mythic raiding groups – people have complained about that since during the Mythic race and there have been discussions on whatever or not certain Horde racials give too much of an advantage (as one example).

It took forever, relatively speaking, for Alliance to finish the mythic race, I believe it was a difference of a month (or more?) compared to Horde. Of course this also led to some Horde raiders being unhappy that it was so much more competitive on the Horde side as a result.

Horde players were also unhappy about this because it met that the time table for cross-server Mythic raiding was pushed back because of the slower progression by the Alliance.

what if the elf faction was optional? if we could get like a trimmed down version of suramar with elf districts, each one with banners and colors specific to their race, and their own guards, that is such a beautiful city, new players would be impressed.

(swan boats and canals need to stay so we can ride them between districts)

oh and worgens could have the option to share the nelf district with nelfs

89

its easiest to look at it like this:

there are equal amounts of people playing horde and alliance until 120 (this will change when next expac comes out and max level goes up again). at 120, people playing alliance alts, log out of their alliance alts and play their horde alts exclusively for end game content.

Nice. I will soon have bot teammates, and horde can play “island expedition” but still earn conquest and honor points. Gonna love that

I’ve played mainly Blood Elves since I faction changed both my accounts to Horde in 2009, and I have never… never experienced this. I’m an alt-oholic and level every character to max every expac, so that’s a lot of Blood Elves!

That said, I’d love an Elvish Faction. Although not one which sacrifices Sylvanas.

whatcha mean sacrifices sylvannas? they’d be a different faction than horde. sylvannas is horde. hehe

you are fortunate you’ve never had that happen. not only have i seen it, personally in groups but in bgs also and i have heard about it happening to others and also frequently hear horde players complain that elves are not welcome in their faction, that there are too many elves in the horde, that elves are bimbos, vain and even willing to kill them all in exchange for something more hordelike.

This is not surprising at all. This game has always been Horde favored.

Aussie Servers, Dath’Remar and Khaz’Goroth. The community, both Horde and Alliance, are really nice.

Honestly, I mainly play Healers, and everyone is nice to a Healer. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

thanks for info. did you watch that suramar boat ride video i posted? there’s another video out there that goes thru the entire city except inside most buildings, it takes over an hour. every square inch of that place screams elf. its so wasted as being merely a questing area. that needs to be player character city. maybe a smaller size though. it’s massive.

Alliance side is dead. the last few weeks I have seen a steady decline in the alliance. I had thought horde was bad. The alliance is in life support on my servers. Horde right behind that in ICU.NOt sure why alliance dropping like flies as none one speaking. Horde side keeps saying bS that alliance gets extra. If this keeps up not a whole lot going to be left on either side.

Incursion two weeks have seen full raids for both sides. fast forward to last few days none for either. Alliance can even find 30 players. horde is like 50. Still, I used to see 10 times that amount. What is going on?
