The art team and development teams aren't developing the zones 1:1 is why.

Just watch the video, because the list of bulletpoints just does not reflect the tone of his video.
The main argument is: it feels like different teams work on the content of both factions. While you have a tense mainstory on the horde side (and every quest seems to be connected to this plot) you just rush from one questhub to another on alliance side without the feeling to process in a main storyline.
Imo most things he says are very reasonable and show a deeper knowledge from the evolution of WoWs gamedesign than most users within this thread have.
Drustvar is almost all about the witches and discovering and fighting the ancient Drust threat.
It's not childish, nor lighthearted. It's cohesive.
I haven't seen enough of Tiragarde to have a good view of that, but Drustvar seems amazing.
Unless you got proof, you're just talking out of your rear end, and it stinks.

I would say the streamer passing his subjective opinions and biased assumptions as fact is the one behaving like a kid. That not an opinion, it's trolling.
He is not the only one either. Belular also made a very biased video. The horde fans think they somehow got an upper hand cause their content is further on in development and are trying to make their click baity videos.
Simply put, the idea is total nonsense and they are behaving like children, or opportunists really.

Everyone knows Blizzard will make Alliance win the war because the generic fantasy good guys losing is bad for marketing. Horde having better leveling is our consolation prize.
Me not that kind of Orc!
As I stated above. This is an example of someone being told that they should ask for better content, and reacting to this as if it's Horde fans gloating about how much better they got it.
Here's the reality of the situation. Drustvar is more or less on par with Nazmir and Zuldazar in development. It's a complete questing experience. However, it doesn't make as good use of what it has to offer as the Zandalar zones. It needs a bit of overhauling in the middle. I'm not mocking Alliance players by saying this. Preach isn't insulting the Alliance when he says this.
He is trying to help you.
The beginning of wisdom is the statement 'I do not know.' The person who cannot make that statement is one who will never learn anything. And I have prided myself on my ability to learn

If you watch the video he brings up what Nobel said. I know you are a small child and have to blindly defend Blizzard and your faction at all costs, but try to not to embarrass yourself.

You got a little something sticky on your chin
I will also answer this without mentioning the lack of comparative development.
Zandalar's story is the conclusion of this long-spanning Zandalar/Zul mystery that stretches back as far as Vanilla. Kul Tiras, on the other hand, is fairly contained in and of itself. In Zandalar you are solving the mystery of what Zul's problem is, meeting the mythical Rastakhan, seeing Loas that you've only caught glimpses of... etc etc.
Meanwhile in Kul Tiras you're helping some families and houses that are entirely new to the expansion. It's not a culmination of a huge expansion-spanning story arc... YET, but it doesn't have to be. Zandalar has a lot of baggage that correlates with a lot of lore on Azeroth. Kul Tiras is a port city. Both do NOT have to be as "epic" as one another.
I recommend watching Preach's video instead of taking OP's (I suspect intentionally vague) summary at face value.

It's not about scale. It's about quality. A well-written story can even make something small scale seem deep and important. You don't need spacegods intervening for things to feel like an adventure. As it is now, Drustvar's buildup doesn't seem so great. The Drust King doesn't need to be the new Lich King, but he should at least get better narrative buildup.
While the horde zones does seem more grandiose, especially Zuldazar, I like the sorta down to earth style of the alliance zones.
I just listen to Preach's video on comparing the two factions contend and its doesnt look good for the Alliance at all, if what he says is true about the Alliance and I spend hours just collecting bear and wolf asses and picking onions then they seriously dropped the ball and throwing in Witcher and Game of Thrones references everywhere isnt helping in making your content more interesting in my opinion just makes it feel dated, and seem to cement my feeling that they didnt know what to really do with Kul'Tiras and just made it up on the spot.
I hope I am proven wrong and they will make a lot more and fix things but as it seems right now the Alliance doesnt hold a candle to Horde content.
Yeah, I didn't see it at that bad either. It's good to have this kind of criticism early on in alpha when they can change things. The alliance stuff we've seen so far is very weak, but that could be because Blizzard isn't really good at writing more subtle, dramatic stories like they seem to want to be telling in Kul'tiras and they come off as far too childish and dull because they are just not capable of writing a story like that. I don't think they are intentionally trying to make the alliance story bad, it's just something that seems to be incidentally happening because of the different type of feeling and story they are trying to tell on the alliance side.
I much prefer pirates and witches to Aztecs and dinosaurs, so I prefer the Alliance zones.
Also, would be great if you stop linking garbage vids from a garbage F-tier YTer. It's starting to wear thin. If you must to link a YT/streamer then link Asmongold or something, at least he's funny from time to time.

It's nice that you like pirates and witches, but Preach never said they were bad things either. No one has said that pirates and witches are bad. Or that Aztecs and dinosaurs are what make Zandalar good. Zandalar could have easily been awful with Aztecs and dinosaurs intact.
This is a matter of quality. Zandalar does Aztecs and dinosaurs well. Kul Tiras does witches and pirates as "meh".
Why do so many people act like the Alliance is being insulted when people are saying that Kul Tiras isn't looking too great right now?
The fucker is trying to give constructive feedback to improve your zones. If that's bias, then we should all be biased. A biased person would just say that the Alliance is shit and deserves nothing but shit.
