See that is where Blizzard screwed up in the story telling was with constantly saying Horde bad, bad, bad, Alliance good and pure. Now people are finding out the Horde is just as pure. And you can even argue that the most pure shaman is more pure than the purest ever paladin. Thrall vs Uther for example?
Jaina did a lot of evil things, she slaughtered innocents and only got away with it because of who her father was.
She abandoned Arthas and caused him to become the Lich King. The city had to be purged. If Arthas had not have done than then 100% of EK would have been overrun.
My theories about your supposed “mean” alliance players is that they have a very low tolerance anymore.
For year we have had such low activity on our side of the fence that if your raid, RBG, or dungeon is a teribad failure; you lost way more time and efforts than if you were playing horde.
It’s wasn’t a matter of “go again” it was “succeed or there might be no other groups”.
Tbh I have founded horde side mixed pug raiding to be way more laxed than when we had faction divided.
I actually can not stand Jaina . From the moment in MoP she was trying to convince the king to kill the horde after capturing Garrosh together with the hordes help. Like she’s over there whispering in his ear " psssst kill these b***** while you can" like " ah hell nah!" they just helped.
People who roleplay LITERAL PEOPLE aren’t very good at imagining scenarios or fantasizing about being “different”. So they tend to take their arrogance and cHarActEr™ from real life to this game. And since even in WOW universe horde is something “dirty, yucky and stooped” they project this on everyone that aren’t “them”.
I also saw some weird stuff coming from Horde to Alliance, but maybe cause I mostly main horde (I played my Mage Nelf in WoD and other expansions I mained horde) I might be biased and see alliance being “bad”. Especially in wPvP I see a lot of alliance being aggressive entitled shlocks. When horde being complete opposite, whiny and weak and too “good” for their own fantasy description (ofc with exceptions on both sides).
The biggest issue Horde Players think Alliance players are mean is we have a lower population base so you might encounter them more frequently then normal. With the Horde’s vast population you will still have the same ratio of players who are mean, elites and rude player base. However you might not encounter a single one with the amount of population it has or chances you run into them would be rare.
As people have said you will run into players like that on both sides, to think only the Horde side is filled with mature players is an understatement that even Horde players can be immature at times.
Back in the days of Wrath, I was playing a Tauren female hunter (sorry bulls, but the male Tauren are just…too…big), and was in a guild run by a rabid Alliance hater. She would kick anyone that made the mistake of admitting they played characters on both factions right out of the guild, and then bad-mouth them for days afterward. Fortunately, she moved on to another MMO, and left the guild to a much more reasonable player.
If you read the entirity of what Nina said, they said
So it could very well have happened prior to the 9.2.5 patch implementation of what you’re stating.
I will for you, at least one, the one i’ve been on since MoP. Stormrage US. lol
Seeing someone a little further up mention Stormrage as being one of the nice servers almost made me choke on my water. lol Probably why I have such an aversion to my main faction is because of that server. lol It doulbes my thanks that I’ve always played both Alliance and Horde though so when it gets absolutely disgustingly vile I just swap over until it starts up again, or a friend comes back that I have on Alliance. lol
Her leaving him did not cause him to go in the way of the Lich King. He was already 75% there when he decided to purge Strattholme. She tried to convince him not to purge, he refused, she told him she could not stand by and watch him destroy the city or the people, so she left. Had nothing to do with her ego. He was destined to be the LK regardless of who was in his life - Not Jaina, nor Uther, nor Muradin Bronzebeard could have changed his course of destiny. (Kudos to you, however if what you stated was just part of an RP stint - 5/10)
me and my friend were going to try proudmoore or stormrage. because we see them mentioned as friendly servers often so atm we are making toons on proudmoore .
It could have… very much so… but the ability to ignore every character within the same server/faction has been in place for many, many years… and the ability to ignore a whole account went into effect in like 9.1.
