"The developers disrespect the Alliance player races"

what are you talking about?

the dwarf racial of stoneform is BY FAR, without question, the literal MOST OP racial ability that exists in the game at the moment.

also, blizzard didnt want alliance players to feel obligated to faction change to horde in order to play with their guild or friends. This is the reason why cross-faction play and guilds were implemented (for the benefit of the alliance completely, as horde had a large enough population to never need to consider going alliance to find people to play with).

i think the alliance are doing just fine.

if dwarves have the most OP racial in game, the second most OP racial is the void elves. Entropic Embrace - your damaging and healing abilities have a chance to deal an additional 5% as shadowfrost
 like that is literally having a third passive trinket equipped at all times.

trolls berserk is a 3 min cd and will DR with bloodlust, so it loses value when bloodlust is used (which is usually when classes need to do the most dmg).

everyone i know plays alliance if their class can be a dwarf because of stoneform
 literally every single one of my characters is a dwarf with the exception of a druid that is night elf (also note that night elf is the BiS race for dps for feral druids).

That can be said with disrespecting the Horde as well onj many levels including, Alliance had the same leader for a very long time before he was replaced.

Horde has seen time and time again of not having a consistant Warcheif since the days of Thrall. It’s just been one after another.

After Thrall we had Garrosh,after Garrosh we had Vol’jin,after Vol’jin we had Sylvanas. Now we have a council with a Menethil which alot of people I’ve heard from on it ,don’t want her at all yet alone a council.

So flip the coin and look around about biasing, it’s more than just races.

Elune admitted she did nothing to send all the souls to help her sister except
oops she didn’t know they were all getting funneled into the Maw, her bad. It would seem she and the Jailor had the same idea, just different destinations for the souls. I mean no, I didn’t agree then or now with Sylvannas doing that, but come on, the Moon Goddess admitted she allowed it to go down instead of stepping in to save ‘Her favorite children’.

When I first heard about Worgens I was pretty pumped, then the release came and I was very disappointed on their look.

Don’t forget the Frostborne Dwarves (another subrace of Dwarf)

Earthen is the 5th reskin of that base race.

Dwarf race has historically been considered the coolest alliance race by the horde players for years and years. Funnily enough.

Well now I have my true answer when I was asking all the people going on about how good and nice you’re supposed to be when sharing one your factions races with the other side how they would like it if the tables turned.

I think ogres are larger than Kultirans. I could be wrong but they’re pretty big and that may be why they don’t want to make them playable.

They’d be too big of a target, could possibly mess up groups because of that.

Then there’s always the possibility they don’t want to keep making an allied race that hardly anyone would play.

We have a lot of those already.

I think OP is just trolling or bored and thought this dumb thread would be fun to do.

If they are it’s a long term project. Blast has been on this whole stupid train once they came over here from the EU forums.

How do you know what was asked? Aside from the forums which tend to be extremely biased, where are you seeing any place that players in general can request things?

Ya convinced me.

Alliance

  • Arakkoa
    • Cool bird people, can base a lot of the work already build up in Drak’thar models.
  • Botani
    • Cool plant people, basically human, but green and in tune with nature. Goes better with alliance since horde cut down trees. Night Elves can tame the Botani to make them see reason similar to what they did with Worgen.

Horde

  • Naga
    • Cool fish people and use illusion to swap between serpent and humanoid forms similar to how Drak’thar do it to put an end to the pants argument nonsense.
  • Saberon
    • Cool cat people and a feral race for horde similar to Worgen.

OR!!!

Make a 3rd neutral faction and put a lot of these races in with that rag tag group of rebels that want to fight against the horde and alliance for separate reasons but enough to ban together to accomplish a shared goal.

Oooo yay yet another Alliance player whining about how Blizzard hates them /s

No one on the Horde wants Dwarves just going to be super immersion breaking just like the fem Dracthyr Visage was.

Imma just give it to you straight OP. The Alliance playerbase is and has been never shafted. They have gotten exactly what they wanted when they wanted and how they wanted with the pure exception of High Elves.

Majority of the Alliance playerbase wants to be the good guys: Alliance is never the bad faction, thus they never provoke a War. Even when they did in Legion through Genn Greymane breaking the cease fire, to make sure the Alliance felt like they were innocent regardless of how obvious genn was wrong. They made it all about sylvanas fault and genn was actually the good guy all along.

Can’t have a faction be good and be the center of everything starting crap that involves people getting killed, or fights / wars to break out. So they have to react to everything. Meaning outside the worgen you need races that can control themselves and aren’t centered around warfare.

Alliance likes races that aren’t monsterous and are pretty / nice looking. Well corpses, cows, greenskin steroid creatures, mini green ugly looking creatures, and allied races that look like said ones aren’t pretty and they seem monsterous in a way. Outside Vulpera and Blood Elves the majority of the alliance thinks the Horde is disgusting and only ever claimed to want vulpera and blood elves (high elves, same thing) from the Horde.

Racials: Every Man for himself dominated the pvp scene from WOTLK-WoD, Dwarf Racial completely shuts down Feral Druids and Assassination rogues making them unable to do anything for the duration of stone form. Shadowmeld is pretty strong in pve and pretty useful in pvp. Alliance Racials are pretty dominant when it comes to pvp in retail.

Horde Racials are better for PvE, the orcs racial for stuns is even nerfed in pvp. But this won’t make the Alliance happy apprently, they have to have it ALL. They gotta be better than the Horde in PvE and PvP. You can claim you want balance but in reality we all know you want the edge over your rival.

Representation: What representation outside of Orcs and Humans? Blood elves and Draenei are heavily neglected. Night elves and Forsaken get about the same amount of screen time. Tauren outside baine being a total cry baby have no representation. Like does anyone actually pay attention to whats going on in the story and in the game?

Alliance players when commenting what makes them play Alliance: I want to be the good guys, and the horde all live in mud huts, i want to live in an actual city like Stormwind. Plus Horde cities are harder to navigate through.

In USA: Horde outpops alliance, in the rest of the world Alliance outpops Horde. Europe is alliance dominant, China was Alliance dominant till Blizzard games got banned in China. Oceanic is Alliance dominated.

Everytime there is a War between the Horde and Alliance, lore wise Alliance is always the victors. Alliance has lost how many leaders compared to the Horde? And outside worgen tails which is such a niche and in my personal opinion a stupid / over dramatic thing what do you want that is equal to the Horde getting orcs with straight backs and forsaken getting bones to now show up on their bodies? Dreanei got eredar now, none of your races are hunched or ugly, so not sure where the tears are coming from.

Alliance loves to victimize itself. They love being the innocent faction that gets bullied so they can get sympathy points and feel like people care about them. It gives them good feelings and makes them addicted to it. You get what you want, saying anything otherwise is a delusion and a lie you force upon yourself.
