Alliance have better and more comfy levelling zones with cool vibe and aethetics and their cities look better,while horde has better racials and more advantage in pvp,thats why servers back in the day were always like 70% horde 30% alliance. But for the levelling, the horde levelling is way more boring than ally

Alliance:
If I want to be me I play human - mage/warrior.
If I want to be a funny manlet I play gnome - mage/rouge.
If I want to be a loving mother I play dwarf (female) - priest.

Horde:
If I want to be a big guy I play tauren - druid.
If I want to be me but better I play blood elf - rouge/hunter.

Both have great races but I'm more an alliance guy

Tauren and Trolls primary building materials are animal hide and leafs which is barely a step above mud (arguably worse).

Horde is objectively more interesting because of all the in-fighting compared too Alliance that got all their edges sandpapered away over the years
>Nelfs like Maive going berserk on Malfurion and Tyrande because they allowed arcane user back into Nelf society
>Stormwind and the corrupt class of nobles backstabbing stonemasons leading to the creation of Defias Brotherhood and worker revolution

>Gnomes no longer have a civil war
Having Garrosh be a NatSoc that believe in "might makes right" and the purity of orcs being the master race while also sending the whole Horde into a civil war was fucking great, it's like pieces of EU history in WoW lore but more campy and being unashamed about it

The Alliance was interesting when it was Dwarf led and the humans were treated as the nearly-annihilated bit players that they canonically were after the end of Warcraft 3.
The Forsaken should have remained as undead elves like they were in TFT.
Illidan was always evil, TBC wasn't a retcon, and people that think it was didn't play Warcraft 3.

Dual Spec is kino. Also instanced PvP is fine when it's shit like AV. Arena becoming the end all be all of pvp was a mistake though. The biggest problem with world pvp was weapon skill applying to human players. Way to easier for low skill 60s to just walk in a delete low level players. They really should have allowed low levels to fight back. This would turn high level gankers into raid bosses rather than invincible wrecking balls.

It's an aesthetic choice. Also makes it super convenient. If the bank and mail box weren't so damn far from the AH it would honestly be the best city in the game. As it stands, Ironforge is still peak. Shame world buffs turned Stormwind into the de facto Alliance capital.

>The biggest problem with world pvp was weapon skill applying to human players. Way to easier for low skill 60s to just walk in a delete low level players.
This has always been a huge problem imo. The power gap between player levels is so fucking huge that anything below 60 feels completely worthless, which causes trickle-down effects. Players have a bigger incentive to rush to 60 instead of enjoying the leveling experience. Lower level players could actually enjoy world pvp by having these moments where an entire zone gangs up on a level 60 ganker that's been griefing a questing hub, or outskilling a higher level opponent and turning the tables on them when they thought they could get an easy kill because they're 5 levels higher.
>>
>>735591050
Right. Higher level players already have an advantage of more and higher level abilities, higher base stats, much better gear, access to better items etc. But at least this way groups of low levels could fight back (encouraging social interaction), and there's a reasonable chance of outskilling someone if their within 10-20 levels, depending on the skill difference.
