Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.
Tinkers will be the next Class confirmed.

The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
I agree. Both factions have bad crap on their sides. The horde just seems more monstrous because of the impact on the land (blight etc etc) and blizzard can't be bothered to make the alliance a viable aggressor.
Especially in this day when both sides can be played, faction bias is a foolish errand.

This I disagree with though.
The list for towns is far more on the side of horde rather than alliance.
It's not really about legitimate targets. It's about conduct and the story being retconned every third paragraph.
E.g
1. Stonetalon. Gets bombed by the horde. Garrosh throws a commander for dishonorable conduct.
2. Icecrown. Horde backstabs alliance forces attacking scourge. Both parties lose scourge wins. Garrosh reprimands.
Fast forward. Garrosh approves theramore with a mana bomb and the citizens are taken for sport.
1. Teldrassil. Half a book written on how the plan is to use it to divide the alliance.
2. Forsaken have free will and are given a choice
Fast forward: burns the tree commiting wide scale genocide. Tortures and now proudmoore is being "conditioned".
Like it or not. Blizzard has decimated the "savage honorbound" horde. With cata they began it. With mop they made the coffin. With WoD they showed that regardless of change or choice the orcs still took the fel even with a whole new timeline to show a different color. And finally with BfA under sylvanas the horde is nailed again.
Think about it. The horde besides the forsaken is conflicted in what it does. Only the forsaken are totally fine with it. You go to darkshore all the forsaken assassin's have lines like
"She will rule forever"
"The horde will always be hers"
Only one other warchief talked like that.
It's not so much that the alliance does shitty things too. But the shit the alliance does feels like ametuer hour compared to the wierdness the horde seems to be afflicted with.
Solution? Actually give the alliance some balls and make them do stupid things rather than "ride in on my shiny pony to show these orc dogs the light!"

Whenever the Alliance shows some balls and becomes proactive, Horde fanboys immediately label them as villains. Just look at Jaina. She had enough of the Horde and wanted to destroy Orgrimmar and purged Dalaran, and some Horde fanboys are still calling her a crazy witch to this day. For many Horde players, the Alliance is evil even when they just want to retaliate, like Jaina did in Tides of War. And that's the problem.
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!

Idk.. you're the one with the void and old gods in your head. You tell us.

This isn't real life where injuries take months/years to recover or maybe even never. So the injured are basically civilians. Injured are just waiting to get back up and fight once the healer walks over to them.In Warcraft a healer can instantly heal you with a spell. Healers need to die first.
They worship the Lich Queen? Did you expect the new Scourge to be principled?
"I have the most loyal fanboys. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand by Thoradin's Wall and massacre my own people and I wouldn't lose any fanboys. It's like incredible." - Sylvanas Windrunner
"If you kill your enemies, they win." - Anduin Wrynn
Looking at the current story of the Horde, could it be that Blizzard writes the Horde to pander more towards a far-rightwing/Alt-Right/Gamergate audience? I mean, the focus seems to be to pander towards feelings of nationalism, the glorification of war and warcrimes, victim-mentality and the justification of aggressive actions through it, personality cult and the utter renouncement of values like peace, tolerance, forgiveness or empathy. Looking at the community, the Horde Community seems to be the more aggressive one and comes off as the more right-leaning community
I mean can you blame her? look at the original timeline, so far the only orc that did anything good is Thrall and we all know why, people call him green human for some reason. borxigar did something similar, but guess who sent him on the mission on first place ?

its because every time you bring up burning of the world tree, suddenly out of nowhere, sylvanas fans pop up and start defending and rationalizing her actions in a way you sometimes wonder if its a "rearrange the words to make a sentence" kind of game.
so then we have to point out other smaller things that is usually considered background noise or unwanted casualties.
Some of our largest leaps in technology have come during times of war, mainly due to necessity. I'm not sure that qualifies as good when you consider the cost, but in absolute terms many of the technologies discovered during war have pretty normal every day applications that increase QoL.
