    Even if that were true, which it's not, Telaar had plenty of storyline to go with it, Draenei got plenty of lore with Auchindoun, and Nagrand, yada yada. But even if that were true, one zone does not a biased expansion make.

    Silly Sandrox, there was PLENTY of Alliance crying back then.

    So you decided to switch sides and fight fire with fire...i mean...tears with tears.

    Epic events we had in single rpgs such of the bioware games or even blizzards rts games. no matter if its warcraft or starcraft a lot of stuff is happening and a lot of important lore characters are acting in it.

    MMOs are absolutely not made for an [epic] story, you can tell if you see how downgraded villains act in a mmo. The technics involed here are just too limited.

    I mean how come the lichking acts i wrath 1000 times dumber than in frozen throne? even though smartass arthas was in charge? He was only allowed to fight in a raid.

    I've already cancelled my subscription. Just isn't fear that I don't get to experience any good content because I happened to pick the wrong side.

    Pointing out Alliance whine =/= complaining or crying. Nice stretch there though. You should be plenty worked out enough in case you decide to try a real debate.

    First, TBC was on the old Orcish Homeworld after all.
    Second, wrath wasnt oriented anywhere, if it was, it was oriented on the Scourge, and not on alliance or horde.
    To claim Wrath wasn't alliance favored when you had the Argent Crusade, Tirion, The Ashbringer, Dalaran, Rhonin, Arthas, Muradin, Brann, and Bolvar would be a lie.

    But it's also the only expansion to slant Alliance, while Cata and MoP have slanted heavilly Horde.

    Bad writing, I wouldn't expect anything less from Metzen and the staff. Warcraft's story hasn't been decent since WC3. The Alliance is blatantly ignored and made to look stupid and weak just because Metzen has a hard-on for Thrall and his hippie orcs. I play Horde primarily and still think this is garbage because the Horde has no worthy adversary in this game, just a mishmash of idiots opposing them that should have wiped each other out long ago out of sheer stupidity.

    Most of which were made neutral, rather than favouring the Alliance.

    Maybe for 5.5 their should be a new raid called Siege of Stormwind, where the Horde goes into Stormwind, kills the king, and then burns Stormwind to the ground. Lots of QQ would happen, but in the end the Alliance players would keep whining about 'Horde favoritisms' while throwing Blizzard their money.
    I hate this kind of strawman argument that gets thrown around, nobody at all up until the point of this post had suggested the alliance keep Orgrimmar

    Most of those characters are neutral, they just happen to be an Alliance race. That doesnt make it Alliance centric. The most you could say is that it was Alliance themed.

    To be fair over half those things you listed are neutral. That's like saying that since orcs are in the Earthen Ring it's Horde stuff.

    People actually play on the alliance side still?

    Please post constructively.

    You mean like how people are claiming Cata was Horde biased, since Thrall was a shaman of the ER, whose ultimate duty was to Azeroth, with Horde coming in second?

    Sir Lothar and Sir Uther shouldn't have persihed that soon.

    The weakness of Metzens writing is, once he kills off an awesome character he does not replace it. So the world really feels empty and shallow today.

    No awesome new heroes and no awesome new villains. Only a small build up on wrathion. But he is just 1 (possible) replacement of many cool Villains that had perished.

    I actually wonder if metzen still does the story or just give interviews.....cause i cannot realy compare the warcraft rts story that he actually really wrote and wows story. Wouldn't mind wc4 and a solo rpg for once in that game universe.

    Im sure that had nothing to do with Thrall being the Warchief of the Horde for the past 10 years or anything. Nope. Not at all.

    Argent Crusade- About as neutral as it gets
    Tirion - Neutral
    Ashbringer - Neutral weapon in the hands of a neutral protagonist
    Dalaran - Neutral at this point in time
    Rhonin - Once again neutral at this point in time.
    Arthas- Had ties to the Blood elves, Undead and the Humans.
    Muradin - k you win
    Brann - got me here too
    Bolvar - i get it

    Technically Thrall was neutral too. I think it's just more overlooked since he was such a major part of the horde.

    Thralls ultimate duty was to do whatever was best for the orcs.

    Because some people have been "alliance" since back in Warcraft and sympathise with the Alliance roots and have grown attached to the faction over the years.

    I have horde 90s as well but i don't feel the same attachment to the characters or faction as I do on my alliance toon

    Doesn't matter what his past is, the fact remains that, regardless of previous status as Warchief, he was neutral in Cataclysm. At least that's the logical, objective argument. I actually think Cata was Horde-biased, I'm just playing devil's advocate for this particular point. Like I said before, Cata was Horde biased, but BC was neutral, WotLK Alliance, and MoP neutral. So far, at this point in time, Alliance and Horde are equal in storytelling overall. The score is 1-1 if you don't count the neutral expansions.
