Why are alliance switching to horde?

Doubt it. On moon guard there are far more role players in the alliance and I guarantee you that will never change

The racials arent the reason people are moving to horde rn, it is what started the faction imbalance during legion with everyone jumping to horde, but once racials got balanced there is literally no reason to move to Alliance with a dead raiding/m+ pug scene compared to the ridiculous alive horde one.

Horde is where people to do content not because of some massive advantage, but simply because there’s more people there, especially more competent people

The issue was ignored by the devs so they let it snowball

Why indeed
How can you give up this beautiful things! :hugs:

Same, for some reason. I have more ally 120s than I do horde, and more ally alts overall too, which is weird because the only race I don’t play on horde is goblin, lol. Weird when I think about it.

286

To further add, timeline went like this:

Horde was in the minority due to inferior zones, quests, race design and racials. Then TBC happened and the great swing began due to the beginning of the reversal of those factors. The horde zones mostly continued to be inferior but due to the introduction of hordes first sexy race (belf), people finally started to switch. Then of course it slowly began to snowball over the years as Blizz updated their quests and zones with cata, tweaked the racials etc. Eventually the top end guilds started moving and the great unwashed who follow them did what they always do
and followed them too. The rest is history.

I thought all human Pallys were Murlocs you all sound like them


^.~

The Issue with the Alliance side is very bad I did the weekly today and it felt like a major chore cause people just could not do normal things. I was honestly frustrated after I did the 3rd mythic. The faction issue is really there it’s just not as visible on the Oceanic servers.

I’m staying Alliance.

Here why.
I like Alliance cites
I like Alliance races
I don’t have friends who play WoW
I don’t want to spend 30$ to faction switch.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

I don’t know about your friends’ circumstances, but my last remaining friends are leaving to have a chance at winning more in PvP.

From what they told me about their experience, it is definitely tempting, but since I’d pretty much never go Horde, all I can do is say “good luck, godspeed, and, for your sake, I hope I don’t meet you in BGs.”

They are joining the uwu side. We who stay are the true alliance.

but they shouldn’t need to feel pressured to faction swap in order to do content they want to do. that is the whole point imo. if you like alliance and want to push content hardcore people should be able to instead of needing to swap to horde to have an easier time finding people for core groups.

idk how they will fix this mess tbh as atm i see no reason why even have 2 different factions anymore when horde is primarily dominating in PvE content. only way to do so is merge both factions but knowing blizzard they gonna milk the storyline until they do that. likely wont see tha thappen until after shadowlands.

Why wouldn’t they?

Playing Horde is a better choice for all aspects of the game. There is no longer even the pretense of the two factions providing an experience of similar quality.

Even if you are just interested in stuff like story and allied races, the Horde is easily the better choice.

Having alliance characters as alts can still make sense, but that’s it. Playing alliance on a main character is just being stubborn.

That’s understandable, given how much investment many players have in their characters. I’m basically in that position, although I play my Horde characters more and more for obvious reasons.
