You thought the alliance player base was low?

We just put the nail in the coffin. The fox killed the alliance.

Stormwind looks a lot like Lordaeron about now.
Because they’re both ghost towns.

I didn’t actually, you can check. The population is roughly 53-47.

Look at Twitter; it’s lit for Vulpera. Crickets for Diaper Gnomes

That’s what most people expected. Highly requested race - given to Horde. Race out of nowhere that’s poorly made and few people would even want - given to Alliance.

Im not really sure how they are poorly made comparative to any other race in the game. And they have the most OP racials, the alliance’s most complained about game aspect.

A racial that’s already nerfed and likely will be again. The race is literally just gnomes with shoddily attached textures and models of machinery. The customization is almost nonexistent.

Racials also won’t save the Alliance unless it’s a blatant and useful advantage, and then the slow migration of top end guilds will possibly occur.

Just proves that they’ll complain about anything tbh. Alliance racials are actually stronger atm and have been for quite some time.

The racials were largely brought in line with each other. Shadowmeld is really good in M+, but in raids racials are pretty mixed. The issue is the community and the fact the Alliance was allowed to hemorrhage for so long. So many people left the Alliance for both PvE and PvP reasons that the damage was already long done.

Until the top guilds and players move to the Alliance, nothing will fix it.

Yeah, if they haven’t nerfed it “again” already, it probably wont be.

They definitely could have done better. But they were going off the base of the npcs that already exist in game. They aren’t anymore customized than that either. So I understand why it is the way it is.

You must mean a “game breaking” advantage. Because their racials are very useful, especially as a tank.

Good riddance to the yiffers.

My condolences for the Faction of Peace. No one deserves these “”“people”"".

Of the top 10 dps specs, like 2 or 3 of them want a Horde racial as their bis.

I’m aware that Alliance endgame participation isn’t great, but I just find it kinda funny when racials are always the thing that people complain about, which for me just shows the core issue: Alliance players don’t understand endgame content. How can you fix such a systemic issue? Should you?

Uh, it’s like someone getting fillings and the dentist telling you that you are a new race.

Honestly? I think there was more hype around the Zandalari than Vulpera. But as someone that was in the furry community myself, I will say congratulations on having some of the most annoying people joining your faction.

It has to be enough to move world first guilds. Most mythic guilds won’t move as a whole without them moving first. Some might, but there needs to be enough to rebuild the Alliance raiding/PvP community.

There really isn’t a way that I can see without a tangible advantage, which isn’t fair to the Horde players. They tried a harmless incentive and it didn’t work.

The average poster here doesn’t really know that much in depth. The reason racials keep being brought up is because they were a pretty big contributing factor. That’s not the case anymore, but the Horde community has no reason to migrate to the Alliance.

It’s entirely on Blizzard for allowing the Alliance population to hemorrhage. They took zero steps to prevent it.

It’s literally the same as half the other allied races. Reskins with slight cosmetic changes.

Do Mechagnomes even look different outside the limbs? I can’t really tell a difference. It’s like Highmountain, there’s almost no difference at all. At least Highmountain look good still.
