Already done and overused in WOW, and I trust the devs to handle this as much as I trusted Dumb & Doofus with handling Mad Queen Daenerys in Game of Thrones.

It would have been far more interesting and realistic to see the Worgens to be distrusted and feared by many of their allies, after all you can't expect most humans or even dwarves, gnomes and elves in a medieval setting to be accepting and trustful of werewolves who could easily shred them to pieces.
Also it pains me to see how Gilneas story is still at the same level after more than a decade, just the same as Gnomeregan.
The problem is that people here don't understand the characters.
Alleria is not evil, she just wants to fight the Void Lords using their own power and protect Azeroth from them.
Turalyon is not evil, he simply believes that the Army of the Light should act as keepers of Azeroth, just as they were once keepers of the entire Cosmos against the Legion.
Illidan was like Alleria. He wanted to use dark powers to do good. Unlike Alleria, he mass-enslaved an entire species of draenei. Yet people cheered for him when he returned in Legion. Alleria hasn't done anything evil and has the same good intentions but people here want her to die.
Conclusion: this community here is biased for Illidan, and against Alleria.

Stop letting them shit on by the Horde?
The Alliance always supposedly "wins" the conflict, but never gains anything from it...
Devs Horde favoritism ruins them.
And of course devs still have a hate boner for the night elves. That certainly doesn't do anything to endear them.
Also, devs can't write intricate lore or create intricate characters, it's all very black and white.

Alliance also have the better faction music, if you care to turn on the ingame music.
I really don't think the whole faction imbalance can be attributed to lore or aesthetics like.. at all. People just want to win, and mid to late LK in most battlegroups horde always won everything PvP related. So people started moving horde because they wanted to win more. Some of that effect bled into PvE, people want to play on the winning side are and before you know it the whole situation snowballs.
The one solution.. and in my opinion, the only solution, is cross faction play on all levels of gameplay so it doesnt matter what you play in that sense.
The imbalance will fix itself to a reasonable degree over time that way.
Not the point. I'm saying that it would just fail to show *why* the alliance has merit on "its own" if we just frame it in contrast to the Horde. It's not about about making the Horde look bad or weak, that's irrelevant to the point. The point is that they have to show the strengths and worth of the alliance by itself in order to first cement them. Otherwise is just sort of empty.
True. I don't know why they haven't implemented cross faction pvp, dungeonfinder and raidfinder already.
Works perfectly on private servers. Nobody takes issue. People just want to play the game.

This is how newcomers are introduced to the factions.
So Alliance is "for girls" with bedroom eyes...
Wonder what the average adolescent male player will pick...
Not to mention that this picture is a gross misrepresentation of the playerbase.
Most characters on Horde are female bloodelves, while on Alliance its probably male humans.

For a fantasy game the ally certainly lack some magic and hijinks in general in their presentation. They've got the feral horde pegged pretty well but ally just comes off bland as hell - without mentioning the lack of balance in racials from a pure numbers perspective.
If you knew the candle was fire then the meal was cooked a long time ago.
The Alliance gets the Horde's most popular race. The Horde should get the Alliance's most popular race in return. Alteraci Humans for the Horde!

Why no, people don't just like Sylvie for T&A: https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...ery-Cinematic/
Might as well be! Its basically hatred on both ends - “zug zugers” and old timey, ageing and balding devs who want to remember their “rocking” youth (and raping women cuz its “rad”) want to humiliate “pansy forest elves” because living in the forest and surviving in such conditions without turning nature inti wasteland is not “badass” enough for them.
And on the other hand - blood elf fans hate how night elves are manlier… or in women’s case just tougher type that dosent look like a live sized barbie doll or silicone filled bimbo.
Basically night elves landed in a zone that makes both masculinity obsessed creeps and soy-fed waifs hate them since they are balanced and in general very “on their own wave” race.

If its a genuine Garrosh/Sylvanas situation 1 to 1 then i would fucken love Alliance to have it.
There's a trope for that.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p...bliviouslyEvil
Someone described part of the cosmology as such. The heroes are the ones who want to make the world a better place. Sargeras is the guy who thinks things can't be fixed so he wants to burn it all. And the Old Gods are the guys totally happy with how things are cause it lets them sew chaos.
The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.
"Sounds like a standard Windrunner"
Show me when Alleria did something comparable to the Purge of Dalaran or any of the mass murder atrocities committed by Sylvanas.
No, touching a shit pool and attracting 10 ethereals is not the same btw.
Alleria is literally the racial leader who has caused the least mess in the world.
