Horde!
Alliance!
Both!
Just give me something!
Don't care!
Alliance has been the one shat over since Cataclysm.
They're spoiled..
Does not compute, lol. And no. When a higher-up in a company prefers one faction over the other, that's one thing. Saying "Fuck the Alliance" is another. They're supposed to be professionalism. Professionalism isn't saying "fuck x faction". Having a preference isn't bad. Everyone has it. But what they are doing is unprofessional, and bleeding into their game development, looking at how sucky most of the Alliance stuff has been compared to Horde stuff.
Perhaps so. But they thought the Horde mount was better. I saw a lot of Alliance fans who based it off of which was the better chopper. I saw a lot of "I play Alliance, but I think the Horde one is better so I voted for it."
Whereas from the Horde, I saw a lot of "I like the Alliance one more, but I play Horde and I want a mount."
And very few "I like the Alliance more one, even though I am a Horde player. So I will vote for whichever looks better to me, which is the Alliance one." (I counted such a case only twice, compared to the tens of people that did the above and said "I play Alliance but think the Horde one looks better so voted Horde.".)
As a Horde player, I would have voted on whichever bike was the best. The Horde bike looked awesome. The Alliance bike looked more like it would be from an insect faction rather than Alliance. To many overlapping plates around the gas tank.
when all else fails, read the STICKIES.
Exactly the opposite. If they went by the pics they wouldn't take the road of "smooth, elegant weapon" (as the guy called it in episode 7), well wrong turn, bro. I mean you look at broad and muscular dwarves and humans, covered in heavy ass plated armor and you go with smooth and elegant? If anyone is bringing the elegance in the Alliance it's the elves, and even then if you get the right vibe out of it you'll manage to come up with some badass designs, the rated pvp mounts are the proof of that - there's no such thing as "overstuffing it".

If that's the case then why are they complaining??? They are the ones who voted the Horde bike to victory! And as you say, those Horde players who liked the Alliance bike more were smart enough to realize they also wanted a mount and it would be pretty dumb to vote to give the other faction one instead.
This shitty reality TV only served to break even more the A/H duality.
Instead of endeavoring to create cohesion and an overall friendly dispute, it only instigated pride and hatred inside the game's community. Nothing new to expect really since, from what I see, alliance players are mostly neglected to 2nd plan.

The Horde bike looks like an ATC dressed up for the ren faire. It works, though - the costume is executed well.
I like the visual texture and individual parts of the Alliance bike much better, but it doesn't come together well at all. It looks like somebody took a street bike, clad it in an awesome, custom suit of high gothic jousting barding, and then slapped on a set of treads from some other vehicle.
I think the reason for that is that the Horde team conceptualized the bike whole-to-part, figuring out its general shape and then getting down to details, while the Alliance team worked part-to-part, deciding on the details without first considering the gesture of the bike as an object. They were still making major structural decisions late in the build, and it shows in the bike's gesture.
I know I'm droning on like an art teacher, but they're essentially kinetic sculpture. One of those two sculptures was conceptualized in the right order, and it won.
Lets just say it the Alliance bike looks like shit.
And the horde one is not better too. I mean, tracks? TRACKS??? This is a Bike (or a trike in horde's case) Not a damn tank!
Don't even get me started on the alliance one. They did not even had an idea in the last stages, which is proven by that internal debate whether or not to put even more swords on. And the tracks just look ugly as hell. When I saw them both finished I just knew the alliance has no chance at all.
No, he did not say that. I watched all eight episodes, and when I read that I did a double take and rewatched episode 8 to see if I'd missed anything. I hadn't. As the leader of the Horde team he did partake in a few bits of trash talk over the course of the show, as did Metzen from the opposite direction, but it was all lighthearted, and at exactly zero points did the word "fuck" escape from anyone's lips.
I wonder what kind of reaction all those will have who keep rubbing "YOU LOST! YOU GET NOTHING!" when Blizzard adds both mounts in-game.
the dude that had the idea to put only 1 of the 2 mounts in game should be fired, wow is not in a good position right now, why are they trying to make the ppl angry? i just don't understand. put the 2 bikes in game and the vote should only for "oh yeah this looks better but i still want my faction bike". srsly MORHEIM WTF?
By far the dumbest competition ever. It was clear right from the get go that horde would win. 3/4 of the world that plays WoW is Horde. Why the fuck would they even do this? I have never been so pissed over pixels but now I'm out a mount.
Just because the Alliance lost doesn't mean the universe is out to personally screw you. It's not even a huge deal, really. It's really disheartening to read such hate-filled posts just because a friendly competition didn't go your way. It's not like Samwise, upon winning, grabbed Gorehowl and decapitated Metzen or anything.
