Tired of blatant horde bias for Warfronts

[Mastadôn-thrall (Mastadôn)]

When warfronts first came out the horde got first shot at the free 370 gear and endless 340 gear when that gear level actually mattered. My main did not have all those slots filled with this level gear at the time and could have really benefited, not to mention all my alts from endless free 340/370 gear with no Ilvl requirements. Alliance didn’t get a shot at the warfront until 2 WEEKS later, when the gear had started to become irrelevant.

Somebody had to get it first. You got Darkshore first, though I can imagine there was a lot of Horde complaining over that as well.

The hotfix to Ilvl requirement after the horde had benefited and before Alliance had a chance to participate was one of the most blatant and openly biased moved Blizzard had ever made.

I don’t see it as bias, but I do agree the cap should not have been put in until the next Horde cycle. That was bunk.

When the Darkshore warfront came out it was Alliance’s turn to have it first. Blizzard ARTIFICIALLY shortened the Alliance’s turn in the warfront to just a couple of days specifically so the horde could play it faster before the holidays. Is there any way in hell this can be justified as anything other than horde favoritism? Thought not.

Never heard any of this. I saw the ! I took the quest and zoned in. I am on the forums every day. I think that if this was true, I would have seen something, but it is possible I missed it.

Now we are learning that with the release of season 2 blizzard has all but said that the Alliance cycle with the warfront, AFTER SEASON 2 DROPS, will still have the old item level caps, but when the horde get their turn soon after the caps will all raise and horde will receive free ilvl 400 gear for the warfront quest.

Where did they say this. I recall reading that if it opened up after Tuesday maintenance it would be updated. I know when I killed Ivus, I was expecting 385 loot…didn’t get btw, for the exact same reason.

It never ends. It just makes me so annoyed at constantly being treated as a second class citizen because of the faction I chose to play.

Imagine how us Horde players feel with Warmode on…knowing that the roaming gank squads are getting a free piece of 400 loot for killing 25 of us each week. I would link you to the equivalent Horde quest, but we don’t have one.

Everyone who posted a horde bias thread looks like a clown

[Crapula-black-dragonflight (Crapula)]

Unhinged threads like this are the main reason I limit my time playing alliance.

[Darelin-darkspear (Darelin)]

Well I mean you guys still get zandalari which will prompt the last few ally holding out to probably xfer.

[Spiçy-area-52 (Spiçy)]

Hopefully so

Also preference =/= bias

[Darelin-darkspear (Darelin)]

the zandalari are getting way too much in terms of flexibility with their loa racial. First time someone had a list to choose from and horde are the ones getting it. Trust me, it isnt going to be preference that people swap for.

[Spiçy-area-52 (Spiçy)]

Are we talking about the things that arent in the game that blizzard has openly said they are specifically testing out that racial and its numerical vallues are not final?

[Darelin-darkspear (Darelin)]

Yes which is why I wasnt going to go into it further but flexibility on one racial and another strong racial (we wont count glider because it is niche use) will put zandalari up on a pedestal. But like you said they arent even in game yet and this isnt what the thread is about anyways

[Spiçy-area-52 (Spiçy)]

Outside of the heal which racial has you worried?

[Jórix-earthen-ring]

You think by now they would have learned if they are going to do active racials, they can’t add anything on one side that does not have an equivalent offset on the other side.

[Spiçy-area-52 (Spiçy)]

Despite the outrage over the Ztrolls heal, Haymaker for the KT is a very strong racial

[Jórix-earthen-ring]

I stick by my statement. In a two faction game where there is competition between two sides, you not only have to maintain a balance of power but you have to maintain the perception of a balance of power. You can still give things a unique racial flavor while instituting equal powered abiltities.

[Spiçy-area-52 (Spiçy)]

Why not just have people pick their racials upon creation if were going to be so bland

[Jórix-earthen-ring]

They do that by picking their race, or race changing.

[Amine-blackwater-raiders (Amine)]

I guess there has been a big change in 3 days - huh ?

[Spiçy-area-52 (Spiçy)]

nah just eliminate any chance of crying bias. Have every race have really minor gains and people choose the big ability upon creation. Then joke threads like this one wouldnt happen. People clearly arent capable of looking past those .05% dps gains so just remove them

[Jórix-earthen-ring]

If you think a significant number of people don’t faction change to be the best race for pvp/raiding, you are fooling yourself. If you can’t see how that can be construed to be a problem then I am not sure anything I say will make any difference to your opinion.

[Spiçy-area-52 (Spiçy)]

Where did i say they dont? in fact if you reread i state

People clearly arent capable of looking past those .05% dps gains

So idk why you are making things up. Im saying remove the option so people can play what they want and not feel like theyre wrong for choosing their side because of its racials

[Jórix-earthen-ring]

Pardon me, I misread what you posted. We’ll just have to disagree on the method of solving the problem as it were.

[Lenarific-ysera (Lenarific)]

If this goes on much longer I demand that Alliance players have their subscriptions cut in half to more accurately portray the effort being made for them by blizzard.

And who the F… are you again?
