I just switched to horde on this expansion because the alliance just got full of mount farmers, pet battlers and RP players.
It just too casual of a faction now, i really don’t care about the story or if the horde has leaders killers because that doesn’t affect how much more people are trying to push high end content.
I play horde because it was what I played when I first started playing. I stopped playing for years lost all information about that account and started playing when classic started up again all my friends went alliance so I played alliance for awhile. Most stopped playing. Then they released vulpera so I decided to come back to my love the horde.
Started Horde did alliance for the achivement found out how GOD AWFUL BORING it is on the Alliance side. Too much human this and human that. and I love my Night elf and Draenei the rest just do not intrest me. plus I don’t want to spend a whole zone or 2 hearing about wow version of Rambo.
Alliance are dull, especially humans, very boring. I’m not a fan of most of their races. The only races there I like are, Draenei and worgens. Void elves have cool hair.
when i started WoW i was alliance and then just played/joined a guild all that. experienced simple bullying for no good reason. then they had the audacity to shame me on teamspeak lol or vent not knowing i was inside listening.
everytime i play alliance the groups i get are extremely… bad. it’s like playing with 4 new people that never played an mmo in their lives. i mean i can understand you say your new but these people werent they had heirlooms and what not yet putting out super low numbers. i once did a DM run for almost 1 hour that is how bad it is and no not in classic this is retail.
it just doesn’t feel as welcoming as horde community wise. like in classic i find it way easier to make friends, form groups, etc… with people in general where as in alliance they just seem to want to do things that benefit themselves. take for example in classic i see people spamming for help for maybe 10 minutes to kill a lv 11 elite. it’s right outside IF i know there is a ton of people outside/in the area that can 1 shot it too.
on horde side they just tell me to invite them or vice versa and we do it.
neither side is perfect but for me i feel horde has much friendlier and open minded players from my personal experience.
This. So boring and overdone. They just remind me of smug colonials. Yeah both factions have done wrong… but it seems only the Horde tends to admit it. All Alliance do is fingerpoint.
Also theyre just so boring and lack substance. Every race just blurs into human. There races are so bad they needed a copy paste of blood elves lol. That sums it up.
Last but not least,the bantz. I love Horde banter, especially in PvP lol. Alliance community can be very serious. I tried to make one a few months ago and people were getting reported non stop on trade haha. Settle down folks stop getting so triggered.
I’ve also notice that in BGs etc, people just seriously dont know what theyre supposed to be doing. People are just yelling at each other but no plan. Where as Hordes problem is usually too many chiefs lol.
I played alliance from Trials of the Crusader to the opening of Argus. Horde before and after. Went Alliance to follow my burnt out friends, who then stopped playing. Came back “home” to Horde in Legion.
Alliance pugs in PVP were worse and more toxic and more ready to give up with the “let them win”
Alliance had nicer people, Horde seemed more sorted and had less drama.
I picked Horde because I always loved the story of the high elves, and Quel’thalas, and it was a lot of fun playing through their story during the burning crusade, and wrath of the lich king.
Alliance has void elves, yeah, but I don’t like the whole “tainted” elf race theme.
