It’s 2013 and Alliance players are still like this. I only noticed when I started playing some Horde characters and embraced the general kindness of players. I’ve seen players on Horde group up to do similar quest (out of random), let you grab certain items first in a quest (and not race you to kill a boss), and equally witnessed a player quitting and give out his gold to newbies. In dungeons, Horde players are generally more patient and friendly. In Alliance dungeons, if you die, you don’t get a res or you get continually harassed if you don’t go fast enough. That being said, I’m part of a nice, mature guild on Alliance and I have had a fantastic time with them. I have however had several instances of just general malice on Alliance. It’s sad.

I can see where you get your opions from, but worgen were not
Put into the alli because they were furious warriors. If you played a worgen had and read about there history they went with the alli because
1. They where orignally humans
2. They helped the alli by defending it from the scourge

You also say that horde where more of a defensive faction at this period of time.
The only reason that alli attack the horde is because the horde faction has envadeing northshire Abby through the burning stepps, and redridge. Also the undead don’t even care for their alies but think of them as a tool for there schems. All the forsaken want is for very livening thing to become undead. Now that sounds like they are total jerks. Now goblins destroy the enviroment with there inventions, but so do the gnomes, but all the goblins care about is the money business and wealth.

Your view about there being jerks, bullies and assholes is valid, but ever since faction switching, it’s been on both sides. At least as far as the realm azuremyst goes.
I’ve also played with guilds that have outstanding mature caring people on both sides.
It’s all a matter of perspective, really. For the mature players on any server, faction, or game/ online outlet, there are always going to be the jerks.
But, there’s always going to be people who are decent human beings as well.
Same with real life.

@ Aaron:

Shh! Don’t ruin our immersion with all this common sense talk. :P

This is an example of poor reasoning that too many aren’t smart enough to figure out. You’re on Horde, you’re obviously not going to be ganked by any of the Horde assholes out there. People then make the assumption that Alliance all the assholes are only on alliance, then they sit around and talk with their Horde friends about it until it becomes “truth.” If you play Alliance long enough, guess what? Suddenly there aren’t any more Alliance assholes, they’re all Horde. It seems like such a basic thing that it blows my mind when people can’t figure this out. I’ve played both factions since release, and it turns out people are assholes, not Horde or Alliance. People are the same everywhere. Always.

I quit WoW in the trial because of all the assholes. Maybe I should try it again and choose Horde. I’ve been playing a private server with a Troll Shaman, Tauran Druid and an Orc Hunter so I have some idea of what to do up to level 40. I probably won’t though, $15/mo is way too much when they charge you that much for the game and expansions. If I’m paying that much for a game I expect Guild Wars style free play, If I’m paying more than $5 or $10 a month for membership I expect them to give me the bloody game and expansions as part of the monthly fee.

PS: I hate when you do graphical changes to your website… I hit preview like 30 times before realizing that you switched the buttons around. :P

What it is, is a major plot by the Israeli government for you to understand their position in their fight with Pakistan.

JK but seriously — Pirate of the Burning Sea > Everything

Beware, if you get sucked in WoW you’ll have a hard time getting out, especially if you start playing with people you know AND that are already quite addicted to the game. I know for a fact the reason a lot of my friends keep playing is because they don’t want to disappoint their friends/family by quitting, and not because they enjoy the game so much.

It’s been a while since I closed my WoW account (4 or 5 years), but it seemed to me that the Horde was more sympathetic because they’re essentially the losing side of the war. Not only in the game story, but on most server the Horde population is significantly lower than the Alliance’s. Horde players have to stick together if they want to survive, especially on PvP servers, while the Alliance is pretty safe so it’s everyone for himself. I’m pretty sure the feeling would be reversed if the Horde was winning and the Alliance was threatened more directly.

@ Mart:

Yeah, I know what you mean. As it is, I usually log in for an hour or two in the evenings. I’ll do a dungeon, sell the loot at the auction house, train skills if needed and go to sleep.

Honestly, my character has not left Thunderbluff in about 20 levels. :)

My brother on the other hand is 30 levels above me – and that’s only because he took the time to become Exalted with Origmar. He wanted to have a Wolf mount because he hated the Blood Elf Hawkstriders.
