Why does horde get preferential treatment?

It seems like whenever horde has a booboo blizzard will waste no time and immediately remedy their problem. Alliance essentially has no pulse when it comes to semi-hardcore players and it has been this way for years, yet blizzard has not even ATTEMPTED anything which truthfully leaves me speechless.

Yet the top end min-maxers still stay horde because the alliance raiding scene is dead, due to the inaction of blizzard.

It’s because the devs themselves including the big bois at that time (Metzen) promoted the Horde in-game with benefits from TBC like Blood Elves and public applause at Blizzcon events.

Not to mention they deliberately allowed OP racials to go unchecked for a long time.

It’s worse for alliance than you think. Op is a member of the alliance.

It all started with blood elves or so they say.

Looking at the TBCC faction imbalance…yeah, that’s probably about where it started

How would you fix it?

Unless there was like a 1 million gold, 3 months free sub, stuff like that there is no reason for me to ever switch. My friends are on Horde, I’m not going to switch regardless of what version of the game it is unless the incentive is so great I would willingly go with a few friends over.

You can’t. The damage is done.

The only solution is cross faction pve

You DO know what statue sits outside Blizz HQ in Irvine, don’t you? Hint: It’s not an Alliance faction represented there.

Cross faction pve/pvp, there is no other way. Horde players will never transfer to alliance because the majority of players are on horde, and so they would be transferring to a dead raiding scene.

Cross faction pve / pvp solves all the issues. But then a new one comes…how can people say how awesome they are when they will have legitimate competition.

Well that sounds like a great idea that’s been thrown around. Hopefully it happens soon.

That’s only because the Horde are the ones that mainly get the boo-boos.

Blizz won’t let it happen. They might do it once it’s 80/20 and people just leave the game rather than transfer

You DO know that the Blizzard years of service reward items are Alliance-themed, right?

It won’t happen due to Ion being stubborn about the “Muh faction pride” while he ignores that Horde play with Alliance in PvP queues

This post is the exact problem which Blizzard has failed to fix.

Horde proudly shown in public which Alliance stuff is internal or hidden.

It’s like criticizing in public and praising you in private. Everyone thinks you’re dumb because they never heard the praise

Arcane torrent used to be a ridiculously good racial. Now… It’s just a joke.

How would you troll them? You’re trolling yourself by wasting your time.

It’s a casual random battleground.
