Don’t forget, Alliance have had to run a dungeon for each AR. Horde did not have to run any dungeons at all

Bias doesn’t mean they’ll only write story for that faction that the players will like, they can still make mistakes there. Bias would however lead to increased narrative focus on that faction, because they like them more.
Which is exactly the case in BFA at least, considering Alliance had no story at all for Uldir, had some of its leaders entirely ignored the entire expansion and the entire narrative was pretty much about the Horde and its honor even with cinematics focusing specifically on that - even going so far as having a full cgi cinematic about that after the Alliance just lost one of their cities with its inhabitants inside while the Alliance players were only dumped by portal into Stormwind.
That does smell a little of bias, at least.

I dunno, I feel like the alliance has been handed just about everything this expansion. They’ve taken a few L’s but for the most part, both mechnically and storyline wise, they’ve made it out mostly unscathed.

“unscathed”, I think the NEs would have a to disagree with you on that…

Legion didn’t really have Alliance story beats, Alliance and Horde both lost a leader. Varian went out in a blaze of glory which is the first inspiring thing Alliance have seen in years, and yet there was no joint Alliance/Horde eulogy in Stormwind with Thrall reading out his heroics. That was saved for the guy who basically knew he was going into a suicide fight for a civil war.
The only other thing in Legion was Velen, everyone else is neutral factions. But there aren’t many neutral factions led by former Horde since most of them are supposed to be the “underdog” faction. And you can’t have the Horde be the scrappy underdog if they lead the Kirin Tor, Cenarion Circle, Argent Crusade, etc
I mean would you think Baine would build a spaceship with Gallywix and fly out to Argus to help bring Illidan back to life with the Army of the Light?

I said mostly. I didn’t say fully.
Besides, with both sides working together, we can probably bring the world tree back. It’s burned, but it’s not ashes, most trees like that possibly can regrow after some times passes. Tree was pretty big to fully get destroyed by the fire, and most of the tree is still there.
Oh no… you’re asking for nelf backlash with this comment.
I wouldn’t see why. I’ve long been against what happened the to night elves, to the point that I refused to do the opening quests for it.
Saying we can fix issues if we actually work together isn’t a hostile comment.

The NEs want nothing to do with you Horde, you can not be trusted. We don’t need your help, we will get our vengeance and see to our own needs.
Now that I got my “Army of the Black moon” RP out of the way, there is no way in hell the NEs would accept any help from the Horde after what occurred. Honestly I am hoping this will awaken the NEs from their slumber and bring back the more militant version we had in Warcraft.

This stuff is kind of annoying.
The story can’t always have equal weight for all factions. Sometimes things are hot on one side, sometimes they’re hot on another.
Reason and logic is not very well respected here, unfortunately.

I mean I dunno, I think the Horde got handed just about everything this expansion. Sure they’ve lost Saurfang and Sylvanas, but for the most part, they’ve made it out unscathed and they got a cool fox race to boot. 
That’s absolutely ridiculous and short sighted.
RP or not, refusing aid from others, out of some self inflicted pride, is what’s gotten the night elves in dozens of messes before. It’s like the night elves never learn from their previous actions. 
Your right, they thought the Horde changed before and look how that turned out. You don’t turn to the people that just leveled your civilization for help, you look to your allies and friends.
Yeah and it’s almost like someone, I don’t have any idea who, could actually write the alliance to be a more interesting faction… with interesting characters and events. Who would have the ability to do that? 
Seriously though, Blizzard is the one making the alliance boring. IT’S THEIR WRITING, but they think the alliance is boring. So freaking change it?? People on these forums have come up with better story ideas than they have before.

Are you sure about that? I specifically remember alliance having 30% warmode boosts for months on end. and free gear. And we lost just about everything in BFA.
You mean like the people that literally have been fighting against Sylvanas and her posse from day one? THe people that are far more interested in unity and avoiding unneeded bloodshed? Peple who are far more interested in fixing the planet then petty proxy wars or racists wanting to wipe each other out?
Gee, I wonder where those people are.
Except you haven’t. The Horde at large didn’t do a damn thing to stop here until Saurfang finally stood up. You might not have supported her actions but the Horde at large did. The fact that now at the end you finally did the right thing doesn’t erase what the Horde did to the NEs and never will.

Don’t you go telling me what I did, and did not do. 
Huge amounts of the horde were outraged and against Sylvanas from the beginning, especially fresh off the heels of legion. However, these players weren’t actually given any agency by blizzard.
Honestly, if you are so bloody blind, go let that dark moon rip your eyeballs out until your nothing more than exactly what Sylvanas is. That’s the path you’re going down, I’ll simply find elves who aren’t blinded by arrogance and hatred, and we’ll work together to actually put the world back on track. 
Succumb to your pettiness, that’s the real reason your stupid little ritual was forbidden.

Except a vast number of horde PLAYERS did not support the actions. Don’t tie me in like I had agency in all of this.
