Why Play Alliance?

I know that I’m SUPER late to complain about this, so let’s get that out of the way first.

Now, what happened with the rep mounts for this expansion?

Cool Horde: “Sweet, I hit exalted with Voldunai! I get a cool hyena mount!”
Sad Alliance: “I’m exalted with Proudmoore. I get a horse.”

Cool Horde: “Bam! Exalted with Zandalari Empire! I get a Troll-themed pterrordax!”
Sad Alliance: “Storm’s Wake. Another horse.”

Cool Horde: “Exalted with Talanji’s Expedition! …WHAT IS THAT!!! IS THAT A FLYING SPIDER-BAT!!!”
Cool Horde: “Hey, Alliance, what did you g-”
Sad Alliance: “YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT IT IS!!”

Sure, our leader is Arthas 2.0, BUT LOOK AT OUR COOL MOUNTS!

Some people’s favorite colour is blue?

It is the only reason I can think of.

They like having their egos constantly stroked by telling them that they are the good guy all the time.

Genn is a good boi. So no. But Malfurion? Go right ahead! He has been useless for a while now as much as I used to love him.

Mounts are extremely important, okay?

Exactly, it’s gotta be someone that you would notice was gone.

Honestly, if Moira were to die the dark irons and wildhammer’s May bond a bit more with the bronze beard and make for a really cool avenging story - and out the dwarves in the limelight for the alliance (I always feel like they and the gnomes are Sidelined to “character actor” roles).

Oh, then Moira’s out. puts hands in pockets, slowly walks away with head down; kicks a pebble down the road

I don’t care about mounts. I get the satisfaction of always being on the good guy’s team.

The top “feature” of Alliance product in BfA is that it cannot be designed to
entice horde to roll Alliance.
Dark Iron Dwarves were close, but they nerfed them so many times that very few horde will reroll Alliance. If they do, they will end up frustrated by the nerfs.
And all the new horses to choose from, of course.

why indeed. alliance races are so boring, not sure why anyone would sign up for their mayo experience. draenei is easily their best race, but the majority of alliance players are human or night elf.

also, velen needs to grow a pair.

Just remember, the PLAYERS are not boring; the WRITING is.

You do realize 40% of your faction are humans with pointy ears, right?

I’m convinced no one likes mayo. People just buy it, just in case company comes over and ask for it. No one ask for it.
