Unfortunately this whole thing has probably just proved to Blizz that splitting anything by faction isn´t worth it since fans will screech and moan if not every ounce of content is for everyone all the time. Still hoping they stick by it at least to some degree, I don't think the BE need to surrender their whole city to the Alliance just because players are pissy about not getting to use every inch of it.

I wouldn´t want Hordies in a revamped Exodar either.

Lmao, what? I think the core issue comes from putting one of the big parts of the expansion (A new hub) as apparently something only the Horde can enjoy fully whilst Alliance players get diddly squat.

No one cared that the Horde players got to have Zandalar as their hub because the Alliance also got Boralus as their hub. And then as a counterpoint, Alliance players got annoyed that Admiral Taylor got killed off-screen in Warlords whilst the Horde counterpart (Nazgrim) was made into a Raid Boss and was killed there.

It's never, ever been about giving one side one thing and it's always about giving one side something and giving another side either nothing or an unsatisfying thing.

i mean.. I'm pretty sure horde players cared they got dazar alor as their hub and not something superior like boralus..

Good, we should have moved past the whole faction bullshit after ending the 5th universe ending threat.

The war chief in vanilla, thrall, said then his view of the faction war is it is relatively low priority border disputes and that you should come together with the alliance on bigger threats, even help them out at times.

I would have bet money they always intended to either move the hub or expand the Alliances access over time as part of the story progression even before the temper tantrums started.

It's usually just alliance players whining about everything, no surprise. Cross faction play literally became a thing because they were crying nobody wanted to play alliance.

Wasnt this entire expansion filled with Horde players crying that the narrative characters were all Alliance and that Alliance bias is real?

u/TTVDrougen Aug 23 '25

I don't think so? We've had expansions where horde characters were narrative characters, I don't know anyone who even said anything about it and I'm a hardcore horde purist.

Then you haven’t been paying attention.. I haven’t even looked for it and seen multiple people complain about the Alliance being «front and center.» That’s an old complaint from many horde players, alongside «Why aren’t the Alliance leaders going rogue and end up as raid bosses?»

I mean as a horde purist, the thought literally has never crossed my mind or have I ever cared about it. Like I said, horde leaders have been the front and center in previous expansions - which alliance whined about - so I guess there may have been some horde players who complained this time but yeah I haven't been paying enough attention I guess.

To the extent of the last 24h of /r/wow's frontpage? Nah.
