This is one of the polls to which I call "dirty polls", because many votes have been cast without any judgment, just based on how radicalized the voters are.
For example, it would have to delete all the votes of the extremist pro-horde and pro-alliance (although I must say that around here there are more of the former than the latter) and it should also be removed the votes of those who believe in Blizzard as an infallible God, that is, the Blizzard's toadies who never will complain about whatever makes their beloved God.
Removing all these radical votes, the truth is that Blizzard favors clearly to the Horde, but this is not new, this has happened since the origin of the Warcraft universe, at the Warcraft 1, where the "bad guys" (the orcs) mercilessly wipe out the "good guys" (the humans), and is just that, this novelty, which pushed the Warcraft universe to success: it broke the "preset rules", the good ones were not as good and the bad ones do not always lose.
Therefore, it is obvious that the Horde is the favorite faction of Blizzard (despite as much as Blizzard tries to camouflage it), and therefore is completely normal that in the Warcraft universe, everything that has to do with the Horde will receive a better deal than anything that has to do with the Alliance.
And I repeat, this is not new: it is what it is, the obvious is obvious. For the Horde!! Lok'tar ogar!!
Well I'm Horde and I stopped watching Blizzcons and other stuff because they made me ashamed for having Horde as my favorite factions. It's kind of sickening that the people who favor the same side as me are the ones to harass and attack people irl over their faction choice on a game and that Blizzard actively supports and encourages this.
Trassk is at it again, who'd thought. Oh well, everyone who ever had the misfortune of talking to Trassk!
Yes Thrall has been sidelined in MoP so far, mostly because even a lot of Horde were tired of him by the end of Cataclysm. Thrall was there all through Cataclysm, it was pretty much Thrall's story. "Oh Goel! Goel! Goel can you hear me! GOELLLL!"
All he did was stealing the entire focus from everyone and everything else, having him constantly rubbed in our face alongside his annoying wife Aggra was anything but fun for most players. He stole the fame for pretty much every single last thing we accomplished in Cataclysm, "Thrall the World Shaman!" "Thrall the aspect of earth!" "Thrall the slayer of deathwing!" and I couldn't eat as much as I wanted to throw up when I saw the movie after defeating Deathwing.
He is now gradually coming back as his over representation in Cataclysm, something Blizzard themselves admitted to be an failure especially rubbing him into both factions faces, is fading in people's memory and he becomes more acceptable again.
