Are we reading the same threads? It comes up basically every time players discuss the problems of their favorite factions. Here are a few examples that I pulled up on a quick search, but there are tons and tons more.
You forgot the part where the Alliance consistently get their butts handed to them, and are made to look incompetent, weak, and cowardly. Portrayed as not being able to overcome their enemies unless saved by deus ex machina or the Horde turning in on itself.
The feeling of weakness. The WoT went out of its way to say “but the night elf city guard totally got a 8:1 KDR fighting the entire Horde army” (and I think that was silly), but, y’know, we still lost and had the story rub our faces in all the horror that happened because we were too weak to stop it. … unless we get a clear-cut, no strings attached, in-game victory against the Horde (or Sylvanas loyalist holdouts) in night elf territory, this resentment is going to continue to fester.
its even harm and damage the alliance, show them as weaklings, so many people think the alliance is weak…and have no bite, because they allways give up on their grudges, and the horde is often shown as METALL, as Powerfull, as more dominant force.
This attitude as if nothing had happened on the part of the alliance can also be interpreted as weakness ala “please don’t hit me again, I am also nice to you”.
