Why are most Horde players so hostile towards alliance players

[Voyager]

The blood Elves and the Forsaken are closest of allies

Not really. They wouldn't ally with someone who orders them around like slaves. Remember how Sylvanas went to Lor'themar and told him "Send your forces to Northrend and do as we say, or else....". Blood Elves would switch factions and attack the Forsaken from the North while the Allianc attacks from the South, if it benefitted them. They can't be trusted by either side in the long run. The Night Elves kicked them out for a good reason, after their ancestors allied with the demons and ruined most of the world 10000 years ago.

That's not how the story goes either. Yes, Sylvanas made a veiled threat to Lorthemar of forced loyalty, mostly towards her people, and less to the Horde. I haven't made a new forsaken but I remember when Forsaken started off as neutral with the Horde, while everyone else was friendly.
Night Elves outlawed the Arcane and a lot of surviving Highborne (the defectors from the Moon Guard) languished for 3000 years after the War of the Ancients. Some curbed their addiction and adopted the new status quo of Night Elven life, became Druids, Priestess etc. A lot were not magisters themselves and their addiction was minimal. Dathremar unleashed an Arcane Storm in Ashenvale, along with a large number of Highborne whom couldn't contain the addiction any more. Malfurion exiled them instead of executing them all. They set sail and founded Quel'thalas. Blood Elves, on whole, are not scheming, devious lunatics like Kael'thas.

Keep it civil please. It's depressing to see how personal some of you get whenever this inane little topic comes up.

[Dave131]

Cause it's fun to pretend

[kingriku]

That's called an intelligent person, not a douche.

I was talking about being mean to a total stranger over nothing more than warcraft. He can be correct about all of it, it's a common interest all the people on the forum have and we discuss it. Thats fine but there is no reason to be mean on a personal level, you can call it what you want.

And if you're willing to be a dbag to random people over a fictional faction you are lacking a moral compass and ruin the quality of the game over all. Harassing and holding up a dungeon or raid because someone used a synonym for "that haste buff for the raid" is what's rude and indecent. But it's okay cause they play Alliance right?

as much as I dislike the Horde from a STORY pov, if I see another player struggling with something, regardless of faction, I try to help out. Most of the time it's been my own faction that disregards the gesture, while the opposing faction has been grateful. If someone is pvp flagged I'll mess around but I don't camp, it's all in good fun, that's the point of the game.

Harmless playing in vent isn't lacking a moral compass or truly stopping the raid. All it boils down to is : X: Use Heroism at 15%, ME: Woah woah Woah, Bloodlust buddy none of that Alliance stuff.

So then you when you said you'd hold up the raid/dungeon and mock them until they said lust you were just blustering. Check. All this was for naught.

Wonder what they'll call it in case they ever added Shamans to Blood Elves. Bloodlust would be inappropriate, since that's an emotion Blood Elves probably can't have. Heroism doesn't fit either, as they're not heroic, just proud.

[Grievuuz]

Because blood and thunder and thralls balls!

[KunkkaTheAdmiral]

Proudness ? Sounds... meh. :P

Though I hope they never create Bloodelf shamans. I dont want Nightelf Warlocks either.

That or Blood elf Druids, that'd be weird.

If they ever have Demon Hunters as a new class, Night Elf Warlocks will become an accessory to it, imo. If Demon Hunters ever become a class, only Night Elves, Pandaren and Worgen should be able to be one on the Alliance. If If If

Why Pandaren? They probably have never even seen a Burning Legion demon.
And a Night Elf Warlock is basically a Night Elf who was allied with the Legion. Why should they ever get accepted to Darnassus after such an act?

[Mad_Murdock]

If they ever have.... only ---- , ----- should be able to be one on the xxxxx faction. If If If

I will say, the awesome thing about not being a lore nut, is being burdened with who should get to be what

Pandaren because of the mantra in which the Shado-pan operates. Being a clandestine badass is something they manage well. And iirc they are part of the Warlock crap at the Black Temple, no? Warlocks are not allied with the Legion, Warlocks are magic users whom subdue demons and control fel by strength of mind and will. They wouldn't be welcomed in Darnassus any more or less than a Demon Hunter and would always be on the fringes of Night Elf society, but that doesn't mean they can't happen. If Demon Hunters become part of Night Elf society, so too would and should, Warlocks, is all I'm saying. The same things which lead Night Elves to shun Demon Hunters is what makes them shun Warlocks, aside from the Gilneans hanging out in Howling Oak lol.

[KunkkaTheAdmiral]

Well that maybe true, but I still hope for no 2nd Hero class. While the Deathknights does fit, it seems weird they are considered "Hero class" and have the luck to start at level 55.

But anyways, a douche with Tattoos and Eye bandage shouldn't fit for any race, excep the elves. Do I remember correctly the NPC's @ the black temple leveling zone are still Elves only today ?

[Zambooka]

That or Blood elf Druids, that'd be weird.

Blood Elf druids wouldn't be completely weird, in my opinion. The Farstriders have ties to the land that the ordinary populace generally don't possess. I believe there are Blood Elf druids in Tempest Keep.

I have played Horde since vanilla and I have always associated Alliance with super straight edge little kids who brush there teeth 3 times a day and jerk off to wizard porn and kiss there mommy every night before they go to sleep. it's just a mindset of us Horde players that we are rebellious, we are fierce, we are angry and we LOVE fucking up your gay ass human pallies and LoLing at gnome rogues cuz their just straight up n00b.

you know that feeling you get inside yourself in Lord of the Rings: Two Towers when the Orcs are stomping n growling and pissed as hell outside of Helmsdeep? that feeling of "oh babyyy shit is about to go DOWN" ya, that's how Horde feels to play, all the time. for me and every1 I know that plays horde at least.

Death to the alliance scum.

[Totle]

Because it's the Horde.

All their characters have misshapen bodies - Belves have impossible proportions akin to Barbie. Undead are missing pieces. All others have spine issues, except for goblins who use their ears to balance.

The only reason to play Horde is because they tend to be on the more fanatical side of the gaming spectrum, thus they congregate together.

The Horde is where the desk jocky, quiet nerd from work goes home to in order to vent his rage.
