But which side had the more skilled players?
My WoW Tenure 2006 - 2014Both sides had some pretty skilled people in it. However, it has been my experience that Horde players have a lot less tolerance for unskilled players than Alliance. When things went bad on Alliance side we often cracked jokes, or tried to help the other player. On Horde side it usually devolved into insults and the cutting of the weak link. I kind of liked the distinction because it helped my immersion.
Horde
>>738291719idk, but alliance has almost all the trannies
>>738292042Tranneis didn't exist before 2007.
>being so skilled on the alliance that hordies switch to their mains
skilled players weren't playing WoW
Not Horde
>>738291719I remember it as pretty much the Bell curve meme.Alliance was midwits through and troughHorde had the highly skilled players but also all of the absolute human trash and shitters...
>>738291719On OCE PvP we always used to get raped by Proudmoore-Alliance
>>738291719>guild wars 2 is old bag of bones game>ff14 is anime slop with stupid story >modern WoW is woke with stupid story>OSRS is old, but least shit out of all of them in story and setting>ESO money hungry as alwaysSo this I'd the state of mmos in 2026? Grim
No shoes!
>>738291719Horde, pallies are baby mode by design to appeal to the WC2 audience. It says so in the original player manual itself. Sadly in the end both sides lose; Horde gets cucked every time Blizzardo runs out of ideas and the Alliance was never allowed to do anything cool except that one time the King fucking dies and completely mogged vuljin's weekend reign as warchief...but uh in doing so you guys lost literally the only fleshed out alliance character left in the series, oops! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Nb3q1oROOg
>>738291719Horde. It had the best racials so all the minmaxers went there and that was that.
>>738291719In actual Vanilla it was widely understood that Alliance had the advantage in numbers but the most experienced MMO players went Horde. And now in a post-Classic min-maxing world everyone goes Horde in Classic because they have the best racials.
>>738292042Horde has all the furrys now >inb4 worgen
>>738292934What were they playing?
My life for the war
>FOR THE HORDE!just rolls off the tongue easier. "...f-for the alliance!" just doesn't hit the same and sounds like a soi poor man's imitation.
Alliance is has more skilled players ironically when it comes to Vanilla / TBC>10+ Arena VeteranNight Elf Male RogueHuman Frost MageDwarf Rogue>Super serious raiderNight Elf Warrior for 1% DodgeFemale Dwarf Holy Paladin / Priest

>>738301748>super serious raider>night elf warriorlol? lmao???
>>7383019491% Dodge, bro. Pre-MC BiS before going to Molten Core. Can't rely on Healers doing their jobs.Also Shadwmeld when a retard DPS pulls and wipes the group.*Laughs in Night Elf Male*
>>738302058>night elf dodge being even remotely comparable to human weapon skill>shadowmeld in combatlol?????????
>>738301949Night Elf is a meme spec. Skilled player play it for ironic reasons. Raid tank picks NE not for 1% Dodge but to stand out from the crowd.You recognize that skilled Warrior player because he is a Night Elf, not some generic Human Male Warrior with mid tier DPS.
>>738302230Do you know how to read? Serious tank raider does not rely on healers to do their jobs. 1% Dodge is a "you guys are fucking shit at the 20 year old ass game" racial. If you've ever played on private servers, you'd know this.
>>738302335>serious raider plays in a group with paladin healers who can't spam their 1 button enough to keep him alive>serious raider threatcaps the entire raid for 1% dodge instead of getting someone who can press 1 button on himlmfao???????????????????
>>738302437>Relying braindead healer spec, Holy Paladin, to do their job correctly.lol
there was no difference
>>738302605>2006>My normie HS buddies played on H*rde>Roll to Alliance when Classic WoW was released>Beautiful women: Night Elf, Human and Gnome>Stormwind musicAlliance is white man's faction or having an above average IQ
>>738291719It was kind of a bell curve where alliance had the worst players. A lot of women, homosexuals, ERPers. Then in the middle you have horde players, third worlders, griefers, furry retards, some of them were ''good'' but because they were just griefing players with the most optimal shit. And then you had the best players who were all alliance, mostly the most normal people who had kids and real life friends, they'd have really good guilds that are the best at everything.In PvP the horde always had an advantage because while they are not amazing players they are all somewhat on the same level so you have this single minded horde working together, but on alliance you'd have like 2 players carrying hard while gamer girl healer doesn't know which way to go.Both factions sucked. You either play with brown third worlders or autistic ERPers. I ended up playing only alliance because you could find a few decent people and if you ignore the rest of the player base it's fun.
>>738302809Current trend when it comes to highly skilled players, they play on Alliance for the hard mode. >PVP Server>20/80 ratio, Alliance / Horde>Almost every fight is 1v2 against Undead Rogue or Orc Warriors>Win with sheer determination when you realize that the majority of Horde pop. are 3rd worlders or shit at video games in general that rely on numbers and playing on best racials.When it comes to fair fight on WPVP, Alliance always wins. Also Night Elff Male Rogue ganking them is a major psycholgical warfare. A D-tier race beating them despite being Orc.
>>738291719>giving a crap about thisI don't really care. I only played the game casually, either solo or with friends and the side we pick was always only about aesthetics.>>738291914Based horde if that's the case. But it makes sense. Alliance has humans which is the most common default choice for tasteless NPCs.>>738292101>Bailey Jay began hormone replacement therapy (HRT) at age 18, around 2006 or 2007
I love PVP server as Alliance>Forced to dungeon grind and socialize people since levelling after Westfall is nightmare with endless amount of Undead Rogue nolifers>Add skilled DPS and healers in my friend list. Always having amazing dungeon runs with zero wipes.>Forced to get good at the game when a retard hordie tries to WPVP me>Larp as being the good guys since hordies act like nogs and raid Stormwind like Helms Deep battle in LOTR
>>738291719Horde had better racial traits and therefore attracted all the shitters who needed all the help they could get. Alliance had the players who just played what they wanted and adapted to succeed despite their choices.

>>738291719Idk and idc, but for me, it's Draenei Futa & Night Elf Futa dominating a Blood Elf Woman.
>>738303342with all that bitching and moaning maybe you should stick to RP servers lmao
>>738291719Horde. This is an objective, measurable fact. There is no arguing this without sounding like a sore loser.
>>738291719There was no differencet. played both
>>738295961it is amazing how many times Blizzard had opportunity to make alliance just s tiny bit more interesting but always backed out in the last moment>Defias never managed to reach Stormwind properly and enact any sort of revenge>Worgen question, Stormwind flat out says to fuck off, Elves convince them without any conflict that they should just accept them lol>brief period when Dwarf King turns into diamond dildo, Moira tries to usurp the Throne and even kidnaps Anduin, no civil war happens just shitty council forms>Dwarf King returns in diamond dildo form, people talk about civil war, nothing happens>Fandral Staghelm declares allegiance to Ragnaros, nobody cares>Sylvanas burns down the big tree, elves go full murderhobo because rest of the alliance do nothing, nothing happens they are still in alliance I bet single MLP episode has more intrigue than alliance in its entirety
>>738291719In terms of pve or pvp? I'd say Horde generally dominated pvp unless you happened to get lucky and get a solid high level team
>>738291719Alliance had all the really autistic simps who played incredibly well but were desperate to fuck the girls in the raid who played like complete shit and dragged the whole thing down and your GM was married to one of them and did a guild merger with a guild whose GM was female and she ends up having an affair with your GM and it causes a huge split in the guild and the whole thing dies.This happened to me twice.So to answer your question: Horde.
who the fuck still care about world of windrunnercraftwise old man
>>738291719having played on a dozen private servers over the past 10+ years it goes like this, at least when it comes to battlegrounds>alliance premade>horde premade>>>>>>horde randoms>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>chinese bots>>>>alliance randoms
>>738291719I'm a top 20% raider and I can say for sure that it's Hor...I mean Alliance, because it's a pvp faction, and pvp requires higher skill.
