The conversation might have moved on from this specific issue (this thread sure moves fast sometimes) but in relation to what people were talking about regarding Alliance and Horde power levels, I actually made a thread on that over two years ago at this point, where I argue that making the Horde weaker actually also makes the Alliance’s story weaker as well.
