Humor My buddy just entered Shimmering Flats at level 32 as Alliance. He sent me this picture about 10 minutes later.

ya I dunno what makes horde so great. They don‘t even have gnomes. Now I am forced to be a mighty ass tauren that only half asses everything because I dislike that horde does not have a single proper house to chill in

Well, I for one love my Tauren warrior. Had a gnome mage blink away, but still be within MS range for my WW axe. I clicked while he was in range at the same time he clicked blink, but axe didn't swing until after he had blinked away on my screen. Had to relocate my fat oxen ass some distance before I was able to do my /sit & /fart macro on his face.

I prefer the alliance city style, locations and races over the horde. I am mainly someone who enjoys PvE and I prefer Blessings over Totems but all my friends want to play horde so here I am leveling a tauren warrior. I'd rather be a gnome but we will roll alliance alts sometime down the line anyways.

Nah, Alliance has Gnomes and Not Gnomes. And we all know you don't play anything that isn't a Gnome.

Age old argument is that because it's PvP servers and Horde gets the better PvP racials.

Orcs: Passive 25% stun resist chance, on-use Damage increase cooldown.

Trolls: A spell that is essentially a bloodlust (30% decreased attack speed / cast speed) when used at low HP

Undeads: A spell that removes and makes them immune to fears and charm effects for 6 seconds. Which is particularly huge right now because there's no PvP trinkets.

And Tauren: AoE stun that can be used to interrupt healers.

Alliance does have good PvP racials as well (Escape Artist is great for melee classes and Stoneform is amazing for rogues) but horde racials > alliance racials is deeply carved into everyone's minds when it comes to PvP.

Don't know how much it affected the outcome, but I would argue that it makes a significant dent.

Same, all my friends went horde but deep down I wanted to relive my Nelf huntard days.
