The Alliance is not perfectly "Good" and the Horde isn't perfectly "Evil" That would be silly and unrealistic (for even a fantasy setting) Even the best fantasy world, LotR, the good guys have their shades of grey, but, overall, the Men of Gondor. Rohan, dwarves and elves are the good guys and Sauron's allies, the Easterlings, are not totally Evil, even Samwise saw this, and its the same with the Alliance.
It's the same in the Story of Warcraft. Sure, "World of" Warcraft may not have set up Alliance and Horde as a Good vs Evil Story, but the universe that has been created since Warcraft 1 has already done that. And as much as Blizzard would like to rewrite History (and as a somewhat historian myself, revisionist history makes my skin burn and teeth crack) they can't remove the foundation - Warcraft 3's story tried and came off absolutely horrible (only the personal journey of Arthas saved that story from absolute failure.
That's why a game like ESO has a much more complex morality. It's can't be boiled down to Good vs Evil because they're just nations trying to survive. In Warcraft, the Horde was formed to destroy, and the Alliance was formed to resist that Evil and protect it's people.
The problem is, is that you can't extract the heritage of Warcraft 1 and 2 from WoW without destroying the Story as a whole. IF Thrall (and Blizzard by extension) wanted to divorce the Evil past of the Horde from the current Horde, why still call it the Horde?? Why is the culture of violence still so prevalent? War criminals and crimes still honoured? Should not have Thrall sought to make peace not just with the Alliance, but peace within the Horde/Orc culture itself? To truly make the Horde good?
