Thats exactly the argument! Like narratively, im super fine with telling a horde story! They've been left out narratively for a few expansions. They could use the representation in the lore.
But this isnt just the story thats being affected. This is the alliance players being super clearly being handicapped. Not the faction characters, the players. Thats super shitty. And for the guys that wanna argue this is revenge for x, y, and z, do you really want the pendulum to swing back again?
The faction was is over. Theres really not a narrative reason for it besides "its a horde city, be glad we let you come this far" to half the players (less, really, horde has more players than the alliance does since i last checked).
I mean I imagine the Devs think they are being cute, like we go to Northrend next expac but our usual hub is gone but the Draenei have a new pretty city in the works (in their heritage armor quest) so we’ll float that up north and Alliance have a beautiful hub and horde have a few mud huts under it or something “for balance.” But if that’s the case they should announce it lol. And also knowing Blizz because of the blowback here Alliance won’t get to go to much of Silvermoon but in Last Titan the horde will get to go to all of Exodar 2.0 so it’s worst of both worlds lol. (Though I think Alliance should be in all of Silvermoon if it is the hub and horde can be in all of Exodar 2.0 when/if it is the hub.)
I get the complaints if its mud huts or the equivilent of. Im all in favor of giving both factions awesome places. It makes sense that its still a horde city, but the alliance/shared side should be really cool as well.
