    When will the Horde help the Alliance rebuild Theramore? When will the Horde help the Alliance clean up Southshore? When will the Horde help the Alliance take back Gilneas? The two sides of this coin are simply not the same.

    I don't think its relevant what the two of them would do. If your assumption is that Varian should have turned on the Horde and tried to bully them, then I think the forsaken and the goblins wouldn't have much of an issue with showing you otherwise.

    What, did you assume the horde needed the alliance in any of this? Orc's have some devastating war machines, but the Forsaken, Goblins, Tauren, and Goblins have more than enough things to end Garrosh on their own. Do you honestly believe it would make sense for the Alliance, at the core of the Horde capital, to have ANY chance of fighting the horde? With Garrosh gone, and the horde's power structure out, the Forsaken are free to do as they please. And theyre basically the scourge, so goodluck with that. I think the valkyr would have plenty of human corpse to replenish the troops with.

    Theramore is the only thing you listed that didn't happen in Cataclysm. So the Horde got one thing outside of Cata. Big deal. The Alliance gained all kinds of ground in Kalimdor in Cata. I don't think it's unreasonably disproportionate right now. I'm sure something will be phased in the Alliance's favor in the next expansion.

    It's been a horde game since Warcraft 3. Why would you expect them to pander to the Alliance now?

    But some people need to seriously chill out when fictional stuff like this happens, the fact stays that WoW is just a video game.
    funny how people say they stopped caring or quite WoW but stil reply at threats and forums of WoW, you fill in the word for it. R*tarded perhaps?

    Without a doubt the horde needed the alliance.

    It's referenced time and time again in game, including when Vol'jin apologises to alliance players and tells them we need to work together to beat Garrosh in 5.3.

    Not only that, Vol'jin's rebellion couldn't even take the landing in SoO according to the sound files from 5.4.

    The horde is battered and broken, you're deluded if you think they could easily deal with the alliance force just after you lose your warchief and his commanders.

    It was clear from the very beginning, that there was no way the ending would make any sense for an alliance raid. The only plot device one could use would be stuff like "oh shit here comes the true evil unleashed", like the legion raining down on orgrimar right at the end of the raid and turning the town into a smoking crater with everyone running for their lives. Well there is of course the "alliance ultimatly loses or is betrayed ending" but that is something blizzard has no spine to pull off. So we will most likely get a stupid deus ex machina ending, mmo's are absolut shit devices to tell a story as we all hopefully know by now, that is just the way it is.

    Btw, I'm horde but bad story telling is bad story telling.

    As it stands from what we do know and is implied I'm very disappointed with this from the Alliance PoV. It's a real killjoy.

    Are you seriously crying about this?
    Let me get this straight. The alliance, a group of races banded together to try to bring their best interpretation of order and balance and good nature to the world by defeating chaos and darkness.

    And you find it surprising, that the king of said Allegiance would allow a faction that has recently ended a tyrants reign begin to re-group? If you don't remember, Thrall and Varian were on decent terms, it was always Garrosh who wanted to fight with the alliance over things. As far as the story is really concerned, It's not the alliance vs the Horde, its the Alliance vs Garrosh, vs the Core of the Horde. You guys keep saying you want an alliance moment, THIS IS IT...The Horde probably wont ever get to have a raid based around destroying an entire factions leader and completely changing the power structure in the other group. Stop looking at it from the "what are we getting" perspective and look at it from what this battle/raid marks for history as far as the lore goes. This is about change, this whole expansion has been about change and the repercussions of war. Varian is taking the first step in starting fresh, He's walking away so that both sides may prosper. If you don't see that as the action of someone who has a lot of tough and respectful decisions, then you people will never be happy with anything short of gaining back an entire zone.

    It's a Civil War between Horde and True Horde / Kor'kron, Alliance just wants piece of it.

    It's obvious that Horde gets the biggest slice of the cake.

    This is proof that everyone is forgetting one detail. One very large and very over looked detail.

    What would it take for the Horde to pay off the debt they've been put in with the Alliance basically saving them at the last minute? It will have to be paid, and someone will come to collect.

    Your sarcasm aside, I don't think you're understanding the issue. Neither I or many other people are claiming that the war in Warcraft should be a matter of equality; with every Alliance victory resulting in a Horde victory, and every territory taken resulting in another territory claimed, and so on. The issue is that since WOTLK, the Alliance has been losing to the Horde in its entirety; our 'revenge' in MoP consists us fighting "Garrosh and his big Kor'kron meanies", whilst the 'Horde' in its entirety has its responsibilities long awaited defeat thrown onto the scapegoat (Garrosh and his cronies), whilst we help the supposed 'good' Horde take back its city and 'redeem' itself no doubt.

    That's neither victory or vengeance. That's the coward's way out from a biased lore team.

    No, The trolls/tauren/blood elves are battered down and broken. The forsaken have weapons on par with bioweapons in our day and age. Weapons that don't need to cut or slash or be cast, simply need to touch. These weapons melt away armors, liquefy bones. There is no real protection.

    This bickering of Horde vs Alliance favoritism is just petty. I am more concerned with having a compelling story, that makes sense and progresses over time. We haven't had that since Wrath. To me the last two expansions have just had such tenuous links from antagonist to antagonist. Then cramming in a ton of lore into a patch to tell the story arc.

    The entire overall story arc of the warcraft series has been about the humans vs the orcs, all the giant dragons, demons and alike have been distractors from this. It has always boiled down to Horde vs Alliance, and now they have written themselves into a situation where the Horde could easily be crushed by the Alliance. And the only way out to preserve the integrity of the game is to do something completely absurd with the Alliance protagonists.

    This shouldn't be about crying over whose faction NPC's get more screen time, both sides should be pissed at how much the story sucks.

    I know it probably seems like I'm being sarcastic, but I'm really not, I really think factions should dissolve, I think it would solve the problems on both sides, or we could even still have 2 factions, just call them something else, and have any race be able to go to either faction. Or something. I don't know. But whatshispanda made me realize, you know, I really was being kind of combative, and that in turn got me thinking, why do we fight at all? Why can't we all just get along?

    If an "Alliance moment" consists of the Horde being able to do what it wants for an expansion, then being able to scapegoat all its crimes onto a single, tyrannical Orc and his band of loyal followers who we help the 'true Horde' kill, then you will forgive the Alliance for not enjoying their "moments".

    Follow the Silverpine quest line from the Alliance and Horde perspective and you get a series of events that results in the Forsaken killing the heir of a kingdom and sending its King, Queen and few remaining people running with their tails between their legs with the aid of the Night Elves. The consequence of this, as is seen on a return visit, is a ruined Gilneas. This is just one example; all this was done to Gilneas without the dignity of it happening in a raid.

    Both sides are Horde.
    Thats why its called a civil war.
    We have faced trials and danger, threats to our world and our way of life. And yet, we persevere. We are the Horde. We will not let anything break our spirits!"

    Sounds like fun for Alliance players.
