It's not "horde racials are OP", it's orc and troll racials only.. play a ret paladin horde site and you have no advantage AT ALL over any alliance paladins who all have useful racials.
Human racial is OP as hell for healers and some casters (hybrids with maces get double dips) and obviously in PVP.
Well allis have Cool looking heroes.Horde have cool racials

First: it's racials, not racial's
Second: the remedy to overpowered racials is to bring the others to the same level, not to nerf them.
Yes every man for himself is indeed very powerful but can you name any other alliance good racial compare to the horde?
Basically human is the only race int he alliance that has indeed very good racials but the horde has so many like orcs, blood elves aoe silence, trolls haste, and goblins.
Do I need to say more?

"No effort" then sure, i do gem and enchant, as does everyone else, but i don't really mind someone with an uglier char gets an increased DPS, they have to be compensated somehow for looking awfully, neither would i pay to race-change.
Maybe if i were to reroll a new char now strictly for hardcore raiding then yes, i'd surely pick a troll/orc. Other than that... no way.

Yep, i raid pretty much with friends, we killed DA a couple weeks ago, so maybe that's why i don't think racials to be so gamebreaking

I would love to see racials become something like selectable mini-talents taken when you first create your character. Have 1 active and 2 passives and then have all racial abilities selectable from the list. It would be easy enough to change the names for "lore" reasons so abilities like berserking can become something like "Deadly grace" or "Drunken Fury". This would make some people upset because homogenization, but overall I think it would give each character a unique feel based upon what you want to do with said character. So if you raid you take one setup of racials vs a PvPer who might take a completely different set vs a crafter alt who might take yet another different set of racials.
I can dream this will happen someday. Maybe.
Class balance is much absurd than racials and they let it be for months and months each patch. I mean, +50% dps differences on same role (tanks)?. That was vanilla level of balance, and they simply left it be for the whole tier. You expect they give a shit about racials on pve? Ha. HAHAHA.
The Worgen racial is better than every other Alliance exclusive racial. The Panda racial is better than the Worgen racial and every other Alliance racial under every circumstance. The Panda racial lags behind at 3rd for most DPS specs on Horde side, and not by a tiny margin. It doesn't matter if you think the Worgen racials are the best one in the game, they're objectively not.
Raiding guilds do, casual guilds don't.
No, the difference can't be made up. Guess what would do more DPS than "perfecting your rotation"? "Perfecting your rotation" as one of the better races. You act as if perfecting your rotation and being the highest DPS race are two exclusive things. Your point makes no sense.
Go for it. There's a reason only 11 of the top 50 from EU-Cyclone and 1 of the top 50 from US-Bloodlust are Alliance.
Hint: It isn't because Alliance is the OP of the two. Cataclysm ended last year.
Beastslaying may be the biggest imbalance, but Berserking is also up there. In the current raid metagame where opening burst makes up a huge chunk of your damage, having an extra 20% on demand Haste to snapshot into your Combustion or UVLS Doom is gamebreaking. Only Horde offers on demand burst racials.
