I don’t mean no hate here, It’s a genuine curiosity with my experience playing. When playing as my Horde character, there just seems to be a more chill vibe when it comes to conversations? That goes for battlegrounds too, I don’t see a lot of rage happening. It could be a server thing, of course, but even so, I still get that mellow feeling. Alliance on the other hand, I see a lot more anger, especially in battleground.
Is it like this for anyone else? I find it very interesting.
Confirmation bias.
Well, our king doesn’t cry, for starters. But really… Horde is all about booze, food, and let’s kick some butt. Alli side (from what I remember from 15 years back) is: let’s try and make this better!.. Make it better VS a punch flying your way… hmmm (well, not YOUR way)
I think its an age thing, horde has always trended older than alliance for average age. and while the average age of wow players across the board has increased, I don’t think that discrepancy has changed much. (most people I meet horde side are late 20’s to 40’s. most people I meet alliance side tend to be late teens to mid 20’s.
I’m playing a fox, why wouldn’t I be mellow?
Horde players are generally older from my experience.
Haha good point
I play both. I dont see a difference.
Ehh, no. The Alliance is basically a group of sovereign kingdoms that work together to prevent being killed one by one, whilst the Horde were (originally) a group of misfits and outcasts that did the same as they were the, “misunderstood” type.
Horde is generally the aggressor, and prior to Pandaren the Alliance definitely held the, “booze” title with Dwarves.
I’d be amazed if there was any significant statistical difference between the factions.
Fair enough, It’s different for everyone
i do not know the age of the faction players but like more players will say i think its just down to mature lvls when i was the alliance back in classic-cata. in the bg at the start they will type we lost ect ect…
when i came back and went to the horde. every one was asking for help in bgs to defend. and not being talk down to.
Yay! We got something!!!
Your race came with the class that had a spec named Brewmaster. I’m… not sure how any other race competes.
They literally drink to forget the pain.
I don’t feel like I suddenly become MORE ornery on my ally characters.
Might be confirmation bias. I have the same on Alliance but I know it’s just merely my experience.
I meet idiots on both sides.
And there is groups of psychos that happen to play specific factions.
2020 and people still believe in this. Wow…
Of course, this is just from my observation switching between the two looking at conversations, participating in bg, etc
