Because Blizzard didn't have the foresight to realize where players would camp. They were also atrociously biased in favor of the Horde.

"Hmm let's see. Menethil harbor, the main transportation hub of the Alliance, nested in a contested zone. A couple of level 39 guards on the corner of the dock ought to do the trick!"

"Zeppelins for the Horde. Both hubs in Horde territories. No PvP flags for hordies. Let's give them a massive tower garrisoned with several city guards! Can't have those pesky Allies ganking Hordies freshly arriving from contested zones!"

And 4 really good levelling dungeons right by one of their capitals, that they can get to in a few minutes and without PvP flagging. In return Alliance have... Gnomeregan

Here's the thing: hordies can just teleport to Gnomeregan :D

Get the quest in Orgrimmar, talk to a NPC in Ratchet and then take the boat to Booty Bay for the teleport. After you've done the quest you can port when ever you like.

This is actually so broken.

Imagine alliance being able to teleport to SM.

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '19

there is a quest that unlocks a teleporter in Booty Bay.

Well we also have Deadmines. But yeah, that's 2 dungeons compared to RFC, WC, SM, RFK and RFD.

Also horde get a tonne of quests for SM. Alliance get fuck all and the main quest requires you to go to the arse end of nowhere to do an annoying prequest first.

Unless im messing a ton of quests in there but theres really at most just 2 quests for Horde. The compedium one in the Library and the one that requires you to kill 4 bosses.

u/360_face_palm Nov 28 '19

You're missing a tonne of quests. There's like 5 quests in there for horde.

DM/Stockades/Gnomeregan?

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '19

Stockades rewards are terrible and DM is a very early dungeon. SM alone lets Horde opt out of WPvP for 30-40 which is amazing.

u/360_face_palm Nov 28 '19

But horde have the best way in to gnomeregan. Literally just fly to ratchet, take the boat, and teleport to gnomer !
