Mhm, I remember those times. Couldn’t swing a cat without the Night Elf Genocide being brought up.
Sadly the factions need to be racist/fascist argument still pops up though, even in this thread, which is really shameful.
Yeah. It’s certainly a bit concerning. Don’t really see why things have to get so personal though. Seems like a complete waste of energy to me.
wouldn’t you know whether this happens often normally or not?
And how am I supposed to know exactly?
I mean…you are a regular.
Posting a few times makes a regular? Certainly a unique perspective
Depends what a few times means. Anyways my curiosity got the better of the me it looks like.
I suppose 57 posts is a lot for some people 
Hmm…more like 3445.
58 actually
Just for clarity’s sake, this is the only toon I’m currently playing/only toon I have full time at the moment. I’m not really sure where the 3k+ post count claim is coming from. I had a 70 toon, but I got bored of them and deleted it. I did the most basic of DF content on it, so it’s not a real big loss.
Just thought I throw that out there. And no I did not post on here when I had my max lvl toon. So, that was a weird claim to make about me.
If we extend the question from “Why the Horde” to “Why Not The Alliance” it becomes pretty clear.
Orcs don’t want to join the Alliance because of historical bad blood and internment.
Forsaken don’t want to join the Alliance because the Alliance has been waging a campaign of extermination through funding religious maniacs since the Frozen Throne.
Tauren don’t want to joi nthe Alliance because the Alliance exterminated an entire Tauren tribe just to get acess to an archaological dig.
Trolls don’t want to join the Alliance because the Alliance invaded Gurubashi land then committed genocide when the Gurubashi bought back, cratering the entire society in a big sweep of Sargeras-fueled magic via Medivh. And then we have the Zandalari whose main interaction with the Alliance is having their princess kidnapped, their city sacked, their king murdered, and their fleet destroyed for the crime of talking to the Horde.
The Sin’Dorei don’t want to join the Alliance because they were betrayed by the Alliance a few times over, including sending spies and assassins against them Before they reached out to the Horde at all
“Why join the Horde”? Because the other option has offered nothing but subjugation and extermination.

That’s not really an argument. Please, elaborate on how the Horde was not the original antagonist in Warcraft.
And the problem with that in the sense of a game where it’s playable is that’s a negative reason. They’re horde because they’re not welcome with the alliance. But it could really use a positive reason for these groups to want to work together and be allies, showing how the horde factions get along and what they bring to each other, not just their lack of ability to go elsewhere.

The devs have repeatedly stated that the purpose of World of Warcraft is two heroic factions at war with each other and that the basis in WC3, not 1 or 2

I’m not being asked to eat Arab people wearing perfume that makes them smell spicy, am I?

Well, as far as I know Trolls aren’t cannibals…
The WC3-WoW Horde has always been composed of people unable to go elsewhere, and hung together for mutual survival though? People excluded from the existing Alliance power structure?

Exact;y. We always were and, despite what the “devs” say, have been portrayed as the antagonist.
