In Vanilla all the kids picked Alliance

In Vanilla all the kids picked Alliance. Horde was generally a bit older. Must be why so many streamers are Ally now.

Have the tables turned? Does anyone know?

You have it backwards, The children play horde and run around like spergs killing alliance players only when they have 5 people around. They are a scourge to Azeroth. Most alliance players generally don’t care about PvP when there is no benefit to it

Just as many children played Horde. Sorry to burst that bubble you hold so dear.

Why are you so concerned about what faction streamers play?

Or just want to admit you were one of the tryhard, wannabe cool kids rolling Horde too?

Here’s the shocking truth: Horde and Alliance are the SAME people!

You know it’s true. The horde is more appealing to the younger audience

Spoken like a true retail carebear.
I 1v1ed every lvl60 that i came across from level 50 onwards. Did i lose? Yes most of the time, its great practice though! Its not for no reason if it’s making you better at pvp. My victories have been over some geared 60s too, which feels amazing when it works

I mained horde from vanilla to MoP and was 15 in ‘04 so not all kids didn’t choose ally, been playing alliance since private servers

HAHAHAHA . I really don’t even care what people play! Just what I remembered and observed personally. Really didn’t think that my OP sounded that aggressive. I guess it did(?)

More or less the same people…

Except the Human Male Paladin population heavily skews into basement dweller territory.

The benefit is fun.

You should try doing something when there isn’t a carrot dangling in front of you some time.

Alliance has always been the “kiddo” faction. Horde has more mature themes and mature characters. Alliance has gnomes and slightly bigger gnomes.

I like that alliance players are coming in here and feeling defensive as if being a kid 15 years ago and choosing alliance is an insult or negative thing.

That was my experience. All the kids wanted to be LOTR’s heroes.

Kids tend to get defensive and insecure

I’m unclear that anyone picks one side or the other. Most folks I know play both factions.

As for me, my preference is always the “good” side though I always have characters in every faction regardless. I don’t view myself as a corpse-eating necro or some such, but rather as a champion of morality and light.

My grandchildren are likely older than most people in the game, so it’s not a matter of youth.

If you didn’t notice my character is lvl 110 , proof I don’t play retail . Second off I love me a good 1v1 but not when y’all sit 30 deep outside of UBRS refusing to let other players run into the instance. My server is drastically imbalanced. And your high level players won’t pass up the chance to gank a lowbie minding his own business

It always entertains me seeing the complete and utter hypocrisy from both sides yelling at each other that their demographics are bad/young/mouthbreathers/try-hards or whatever other number of overly general criticisms
