Why did you choose alliance?Follow

barrens...nuff said

well choosing an ally was a tough choice, because all my freinds are lvl 60 hordes. and they promised to twink me, and run me through raids to level me, give me stuff, and so on. But for some reason, i just plain dont like the horde. Heres a list why i dont like the horde

1. they look ugly imo, and if im going to have to have a character to identify myself, i like looking at myself as a handsome young man, not an ugly green troll

2. the areas for the horde at the begining are just plain bad. theyre all deserty, and i like lush forests, not plain deserty plains

3. i agree with some above posters, even my freinds who are hordes i can say they are mean to the ally's. they swear hordes pwn allys every time all the time in bg's, that horde characters are so ganked compared to us, and that we suzorz

so i decided on alliance, even if my freinds are hordes. i play on a server in they;re batltegroup so i can still make an ally on a pvp server and also so i can still have a horde char on my freinds server. its worked out so far but. . . .. .i miss havng ganked out stuff ;(

For the same reason I chose my server. My irl friends that play are alliance.

I guess to stay away from immature horde players like Innin, would that be a good enough reason why I chosed Alliance over the horde? Or could I say I have more friends in real life encluding my girlfriend that I play with that rather much play on the alliance? If so thats why I play on this "Not so Gay" faction.
: )

P.s. I've met alot more nicer ppl on the Alliance then being on the horde.

I must say to an extent i agree with what mithra said. The most annoying alliance players i've met are the ones who in battlegrounds give up when the horde get a minor lead.

as to why i play alliance i played night elves in WC3 i enjoyed their faction as it played quite differently then the others.

The Allience cities are the best i hate thunder bluff and Ogrimmar the only thing i see good about the Horde is the Undead city and race. The Human starting place is the best in the game and allience dont look weird and thats another bonus. =D

Orcs pwn humans run like they have a stick up their ***, dwarf chicks are ugly and why do u want to look pretty anyway the point of the game is to smash things with a hammer or burn them your not gonna look pretty doing that anyway, the cities are better organized though i give you that i play both of them but im focusing more on the alliance right now

Wait... did you just insult the Alliance for being "pretty," then just say that you're playing alliance more?

...okay...

By the way, you contradicted yourself a little bit when you said

Just a heads up...

And another thing:

Uh... Nope. Sorry, that's not entirely the point of the game.

If you play through the game with that mentality, then you're mistaken...

I thought reporters were supposed to be articulate O.o...

But anyway...I actually play both sides, but I see myself far more as an alliance player. I can't say why for certain...to be honest, the race that caught my eye the most when I first got the game was a Tauren. But be that as it may, I picked humans for a variety of reasons...

I made a guess that there would probably be more humans than there would be of just about anything else. I didn't at this point have any idea how the races starting areas would be organised, how long it would take for the alliance/horde races to converge, or really what I'd be dealing with. Picking a human seemed a sure bet that I would have plenty of people to play with, very early on.

Also, whatever character I picked I knew I was going to be looking at for a very, very long time...I wanted one that I knew I wouldn't get bored with. You can accuse me of some kind of cyber-rascism if you want...but all orcs look the same :t "No! No! He's olive green...he's sea green!"...okay...right...I know humans don't have any more options to set them apart than the other races do, but I just find it easier at a glance to tell one individual from another. I rarely see two humans that look exactly the same...most horde characters I've seen go with the "cool" looking features, and all come off as rather generic.

It was probably going to be either a human or a night elf one way or another, but I was put off night elves the moment I saw them...how anyone could say they're good looking is beyond me.

I only made my character alliance because my best friend (online btw) had to switch from star wars galaxies (i played it too with her) to WoW, and she chose alliance. Even though she had to switch back to swg, i don't plan on rolling horde since i'm already lvl 45 >.>

Dumb to call a whole faction "gay" but just as stupid to claim all horde are egotistcal jarkarses.

I can't believe that most of the reasons stated in this thread are about looks, actually yes I can. I started out as horde because my BF at the time introduced me to the game was horde. Have a 60 troll priest and 60 troll mage. Got bored of the horde and decided to roll a Nelf toon (another priest). They appealed to me because of their casting animations actually. Also I don't like playing short characters, just feels odd to me.

Just an FYI for everyone, there are enough jackasses to go around on both the horde and alliance.

Edit: I'm not sure why my last sets of /quotes are not working. Just look for the tags and pretend :)


*sigh* Wow, that was quite a rant cadmiu...lemme respond to this a bit at a time.



What?



You must work in tv infomercials. That is a fine display of an anecdotal study. You win at life.



I have not been able to decypher what your point is here. You need to work on making more sense.



Good for you. I like killing [insert opposing faction here] too.



Neither do I. I'm sure there is NO place in alliance territory that has that problem.



Well then it's a good thing you're not. You live in the 21st century. Ohhhh, you meant in-game. Well, you still aren't. The word 'prehistoric' literally means before history. If you had been paying attention at all in game, there is history everywhere, in both factions. Perhaps you should go 'research' those facts some more.



I like how when I was a 34 undead I killed a 42 shadow priest. I did have one question here: what level was your shadow priest again?



You seem very proud about killing people 10 levels below you.



I kill alli 60's by myself all the time. That's what rogues do. I have never been to duskwood.



This must be some more of those well researched facts you were talking about, Mr. Anec McDotalson.



Yes, I'm sure it's just you four (wait, was it four...now I'm confused) against 10 horde. I'm sure they are laid in waste before your mighty wrath, their heads adorning pikes upon the roof of your hold. I'm sure of it.



Again, you make no sense. When you played with your horde friends you went back to gank your alliance friends' ugly asses? Sentence structure is your friend, my friend.



Who is more foolish, you for kiting a bot and being proud of it, or the bot for following you. Well, seeing as how the bot is incapable of deviating from it's preset behaviour, I would vote for you. People don't kite well, they get tired of running after something they can't hit. Bots don't mind at all. It's also a good thing that there are no bots on alliance side that the horde can kite. Nosiree.

[quote]14. i dont like how alliance hunters cant FD in gadget and have the guards run away but when orcs do it... guards leave em alone. [/quote]

This was a list of reasons you like alliance. That is an interesting reason to like alliance. You have the organizational skills of a sack of dead crickets. I also think you are full of crap.

[quote]15. i like how i find horde hunters FD and i still attack them. [/quote]

I like how I find alliance hunters FD and I still attack them. Yay us!!!

[quote] 16. last but not least. while my group made some water and such standing right outside scholo not right by the instance but outside the door. 1 single 58 priest attacked all of us 60's, me a shadow priest still at the time level 60, a 60 might warrior, a 60 arcanist mage, a 60 lawbringer pally, and a 60 felheart/nemesis warlock.... i mean talk about stupid... he was dead in less time then i could cast mind blast for cryin out loud.... [/quote]

Soooo, your group of five 60's spanked at lone 58. Wow. Just wow. That has to be the most amazing story I've ever heard. Stupid of him? No, he was probably just bored. Stupid of you for finding that such an amazing story? Most certainly.

[quote] i hope you are able to read all this with out pissin your pants off. [/quote]

Pissing one's pants off would require an exit velocity of said urine that the human body is simply unable to produce (not to mention shoddy bladder control). So I suppose EVERYONE was able to live up to your hope.

[quote] one more i forgot.
17. most horde players are very very rude and have no since of ethics. When i played horde... the guild leaders of all three guilds i tried where all mean as hell and didnt want to do anything unless it benefitted them. they wouldnt help with guild runs of any instance unless he would definetely get something out of it. and lots of the instances i did fail cause people had this sense that the point of instances is to run to the boss and kill nothing between and wipe a billion times. [/quote]

No since of ethics? That's an amazing typo, being that the e and i are on different sides of the keyboard. Lrn2proof. As far as the guilds go, yes, mean people exist in this world. They also tend to be meaner to stupid people, so I can understand your predicament. If your groups would try to run to a boss without killing anything in between, then they were also quite stupid. This leads me to try my own anecdotal study, and sense :) you have so much experience in this field, maybe you can tell me how I've done.

*clears throat* Stupid people flock together.
