Ion literally takes pride in the fact that he's never gotten Double Agent. He's played the same Orc Shaman since day 1 vanilla, and has stated multiple, multiple times he will never roll Alliance.
Which is probably why every encounter for the last 4 expansions has blatantly favored Horde to the point of making it almost impossible to raid Mythic on Alliance.
This is why we need a new Warcraft lead. The level of arrogance and hubris shown will only bring more heartache to players - and some players will only tolerate that for so long. Ion is why the Alliance can't have nice things.
I tossed a bunch of likes on this thread - the unprofessional jabs are unwelcome.
I agree. Though Blizzard has always tended toward horde bias, it wasn't until Ion landed in the big chair that they flat out quit giving a damn how blatant the horde bias is. This man needs to go.
I completely can't take any Alliance serious who gets offended by this.
Grow up, it's a joke.
It was one joke on top of many other jokes, all made at the expense of half the playerbase that this group of horde loving devs is supposed to be making a game for. They are so busy trying to think up one liner mockeries to toss out at half the people paying their salaries, that they forgot to think about what kind of repercussions it will cause in the long run.
We are sick of the jokes, we are sick of them ignoring our very real concerns, we are sick of them constantly making sure every horde is happy while they scoff and make fun of Alliance. We are just sick of their immaturity and unprofessionalism.

You're the reason nobody takes the Alliance seriously.
It was pretty funny.
It wasn't anything to get worked up about.
It also wasn't funny.
It was pretty meh as far as humor goes.
I think the dev's comment was a distraction. Blizz is planning on moving technology from the most tedius part of the game (island expeditions) to imho the most exciting part of the game (battlegrounds) This is going to fail hard.
And really... how out of touch is this dev that he thinks what the Alliance wants is wins against an AI in bgs?
Hey out of touch dev... this is what the Alliance wants:
1) fair racials in pvp (or removal of racials in competative play)
2) a fair gearing progression for pvpers... like pvpers not having to do content they hate (PVE) to get gear for content they enjoy (PVP)
3) all classes being viable in high end PVP.
So simple! Why can't Blizzard grasp these simple facts?
The Alliance will gladly thank you once you implement the above changes... that are already implemented in like EVERY e-sport/video game out there.

i wll also thank you by not puting a foot in your BGs and by turning my warmode off.
That'll show them who's boss
Devs built game in favor of alliance — best racials. Best map designs.
I completely can't take any Alliance serious who gets offended by this.
Grow up, it's a joke.
Seriously. Someone in the BG forums posted that, no one frothed at the mouth. it was actually kinda funny.
What would you do if there were no alliance players in the game, at all? Bgs would be horde on horde? Oh wait, you could make AI alliance to fight.. lol
You're welcome Horde =P

If you can't outplay a war stomp then you need to get good at the game. The racials don't mean a damn thing. Oh no, the belf removed my BoP! Should have used divine shield.
Yet when EMFH affected everything on the same CD, it was bonkers-levels of OP.
"If you can't press your CC button a second time, and can't rotate in a second type of CC, you need to get good at the game."
If you can't play around that human's 2nd damage trinket, you need to get good at the game.
Because the racials only mean a damn thing when the alliance have good ones, I guess.
I never said anything about EMFH or a 2nd trinket at all. The half a second Tauren stun isn't open at all and if you have issues fighting it then you need to get good.

It's funny you say this when top pvp players choose those racials for the distinct advantage they offer. You clearly don't know how or when to use them though. You don't hold a candle to those players so stop pretending you do.

I never claimed to being the best at PvP. Trust me though, I know how racials work and what they offer and how to use them. This isn't my first day playing the game.
Lmao. Alliance have all the better racials hands down anyways. Not the hordes fault that the alliance player base just happens to be bad. And before you go in on racials that the horde have, you alliance players have access through all of them through classes. Except you know a 10% reputation gain bonus.

I'd hate to see how you handle real adversity if this got your panties in a twist
I'm a really competitive person and love adversity.
In fact if you only took the time to think about it before posting, you would have notice that it's exactly the lack of adversity that bring me here. The lack of balance.
Coming from someone who chose the easy win faction that made me smile.
If you really love adversity show it, switch faction and try to progress in pve, in BGs or by simply puting your warmode on. Now you will know the real meaning of adversity.
I've pretty much benched my mains (shadow and ele) and decided to level my LF and velf alts until BfA gets sorted. Warmode lasted all of about 5 levels each, and frustration prompted me to turn it off. There's simply no contest between a toon in the 60s vs 3 120s. Not sure if any bigger bonuses to the disadvantaged side will be enough for me to turn it back on for them. As it is, with WM turned off, I am still encountering a fair amount of horde players camping lower level zones near pvp-flagging areas (like in Zangarmarsh) just waiting for alliance players to accidentally get flagged so they can one shot them.

Imagine being so delusional you think Horde have weaker racials and that the only reason the Alliance progression is behind is due to Alliance player skill.
Imagine mocking your paying customers about the imbalance you caused by giving Horde better racials for YEARS.
Yea this is why you are losing subs Blizz. I know countless former Alliance players that have unsubbed.

You might want to invest in some thicker skin.
Why they aren't joking since its over and over again?
This is funny just play both sides lol I plan on leveling up my horde toons once I am done with my alliance ones.... I did leave horde a long time ago since server I am on horde is minorty and always dead. Alliance so alive in comparision
But ya when I get to ym horde toons will get them to 120 so I can join those top raids groups lolz..
But horde always wins AB, like Alliance always wins AV and IoQ.
