Don’t think I can help you there, was just tryna’ to aid with the jargon. But from what I gleaned looking back in the rest of the post, story mode doesn’t require any kind of racials.
It was a self fufilling prophecy. The Horde had better racial, the devs didnt do anything about for the longest time so the best raid players went Horde and by extension those that wanted to seriously raid when Horde.
Now, with both cross factions and the fact Alliance races are becoming better the trend has either stopped or slightly reversed.
That’s is the point, a lot of people change because in game horde racials are better not because they like/know the lore about the horde. Which in a game the rule should be Gameplay > Lore.

To this day I hate Tong the Fixer and his mangling of the Broken Window Parable.
The horde haven’t had better racials for years. People went horde for high end raiding because it was easier to network and find higher quality guilds.
Even with cross faction alliance has had better racials for years.

Horde hasn’t had better racials in years.
Not everyone cares about lore.

By the time the racials were changed and some of the Horde one was nerfed/alliance buff WoW pop had snowballed to favor the Horde heavily. And Blizzard couldnt fix it anymore because WoW wasnt a spring chicken anymore with a new host of players coming in the fill the void.

Blizzard couldn’t fix it because anyone that wanted to raid at a high end was horde REGARDLESS of the racials because horde side had better networking.
There’s a reason why alliance HoF took so long and that’s because you really only had a few alliance guilds that played at that level on OCE servers.
And again this happened because of the exodus of letting Horde races have too strong a racial from around MoP to early Legion.
The cause of the Horde of having a better network was because of the racial giving an edge so that a snowball effect happen to the raid population and Blizzard themsleves acknowledge it, that they let the Horde racial remain to strong for too long.

Blizzard won’t let us do anything, because they’re Alliance bias, so if you excuse me I’m going to continue to enjoy my vacation and have earthen serve me drinks and food while I watch the world burn.
Hey earthen!
Where’s my pina colada, chop 
, chop .
Oh, and a roasted duck with mashed potatoes, you can get the duck over there where that night elf hunter is standing.
I think horde pop was cause of belves
The big bad hasn’t even done anything yet? All of the first patch was just Xal’atath using the good guys to farm old god blood from the ascended Nerubians.
This is act 1 of act 1. And next expansion will be the horde show considering where its taking place.

“TWW has proven the Alliance doesn’t need the Horde”
I too don’t know how to read.
Absolutely correct. And the Horde leadership have been turned into “feelings” wimps. I want Windrunner back on our side.
When, exactly, did Horde have better racials?
Back when Berserking’s bonus was based on how close to death you were?
Back when Blood Elves had to mana tap 3 times before they could Torrent?
When?
WHEN?
Alliance players never have an answer for this. They just spout the same empty and false talking points, over and over again.
Alliance has always had the better racials - people just didn’t want to play Alliance, because before cross-faction, it meant playing with Alliance PLAYERS. And nobody wants to do that (including me, been a Dwarf for over a year - I don’t play with Alliance players, but still enjoy overpowered Alliance racials).

I already told you around MoP to WoD(although it was starting in Cata) namely because 1) berserking didnt need you to be in a wounded state anymore and 2) you had beast slaying which was already a flat 5% against beast enemies. Hence why that was nerfed in WoD.
The war within is definitely a alliance expansion, but midnight is focused on quel’thalas so technically a horde expansion, but lets be honest elves never truely felt horde so when midnight rolls around and we are in a horde focused expansion its going to still feel like a alliance expansion becaue visually elves = alliance not horde.
Unless they use quel’thalas as a chance to bring in amani/forest trolls, they would definitely bring a horde athstetic
When a dev said that.

Nobody does anything on either side. All the good characters have been either killed off or written out of the story
