What does it mean to be Horde to you? Is it driving your enemies into extinction, conquering all in your way?
Is it about surviving in a world that holds you and yours in contempt?
Is it about overcoming the mistakes of the past to walk a path of honor?
It means getting everything served to you on a silver platter because you’re Blizzards favorite, and then throwing a tantrum because you can’t have one bee mount.
Don’t @ me.
It’s even funnier when you see a Vulpera player whining about the bee mount.
Hey now there are tens of people playing dumpster gnomes.
It means to be living in cities where you have to constantly keep your eyes pointed at your feet so you don’t accidentally step on all the fox-vermin.
Nah, it’s all plain an’ simple: You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.
Forget all that fake honour nonsense Orcs spew out their orifices, it’s all about what you can do for others, and how they’ll repay you in kind.
Depends on who is being catered to.
The Horde I like, that of being a band of misfits coming together, has been scorned and bashed for years. My favorite characters have all been killed off, and I’ve been drained of the drive to care about faction which is why I advocate for dissolving the faction barrier entirely.
As for the her mount…I plan on having 36 characters eventually, and 18 of them will be Alliance. So while I main Horde, I have Alliance toons for that. Which is something I don’t understand why other people don’t just…do if they want it, but this comes back to the lack of faction pride for me so who knows?
Preach. I’m sure Ion will come around to it sometime in the mid 2030’s when it’s way too late to do the game any good.
It means to be a murder hobo with Dissociative identity disorder.
to play a faction that has been completely gutted since vanilla
What does it mean to be Horde to me well let me see after being Alliance since Wrath being Horde means seeing new sights as I travel the world on the dark side it means doing the other quests I never did as Alliance but most of all it means playing Vulpera and being part of the caravan.
Fur the Horde 
I…Ugh, I don’t like to ever judge someone’s work without knowing the more intricate details of what they do, but…I can’t help but wish Ion would just go back to designing encounters? He’s really good with raids! It’s just…well, you know, everything else.
I don’t want him to lose his job, just…maybe go back to what he does best? I don’t know, I’m trying not to be too critical or negative.
Because the Alliance thought it a good Idea to imprison and burn my race!! Jerks! FOR THE HORDE!
What if i told you, there is one million mounts in the game and it honestly does not matter if you cannot get one. 
And btw this game is more alliance favored if anything.
oh… @Mcdeathpants
Cata Garrosh, best Garrosh, answered it quite clearly:
To be Horde is…uhhhh…
…oooh oooh I know!
To be Horde is to build poop-shacks and …
…and…
Avoid be hit by Taskmaster!
And love pretty rabbit ladies 
Ooooh and big cow man say to love Humies too and Chilli fries 
It’s about repeating the same “mistake” over and over again and acting surprised.
What does it mean to be Horde?
I agree in classic it is. But now? Curious what leads you to that conclusion.
My connection to the horde was made circa WC3. The horde has a history of doing terrible evils, the “new horde”, Thralls horde was (at the time) one of coming to terms with these terrible deeds and forging a better path forward. Recovering from the lethargy post demonic corruption and dealing with mass depression.
Hope, inspiration and embracing ones own identity, as a protagonist Thrall never shied away from the evils of the past but instead used them as lessons to learn from and elevate his people.
The horde were savage and noble that was what made them interesting, the nuances. Modern horde post WOTLK has just been utter trash. Manipulated to be the generic bad guys of the narrative without any of those redeeming features.
Conversely the Alliance were always too good, too shiny with an underlying air of arrogance, oppression and the suppression of individuality or more specifically the exploitation of the lower classes (of which horde were viewed as beasts). That perspective is what drove the conflict, there was a righteous justification of “ok if you see us as beasts we will act as them”, the savage carnage wrought by horde raiders could be blamed on the oppression they faced under alliance rule.
It was a very compelling narrative, which is lost by modern in game story telling.
