I am not saying that is what is happening. I am saying that Zerde’s opinion of what might happen would basically be that.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think that is what is happening and I don’t buy into faction bias. I do think Blizzard sometimes doesn’t exactly know what they are doing with the factions or that sometimes poor planning leads to imbalance but I don’t think Blizzard ever intentionally sets out to be bias. I tend to roll my eyes when people on either side of the fence start shouting bias.
I believe Blizzard genuinely thinks the story they are giving the horde is awesome and what horde players want and in fairness there seems to be horde players who eat it up. Likewise they are doing the same for the alliance. I do think the way they have done their writing narratively harms both sides though. Part of my original point was that very fact. The more villainous the horde is, the more stupid the Alliance looks when not only they accept some scapegoat as a sacrificial lamb but let the rest of the Horde off scot free, particularly when the Horde seems to have a bad habit of repeating these actions and the Horde will get off scot free because if it doesn’t Blizzard risks antagonising the entire Horde playerbase and they like our money.
Its the whole ‘Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me’. The more villainous the Horde is painted the worse the Alliance also ends up looking but for different reasons.
