For me it was pretty easy, I love dragons, I always play in MMO's a DPS or a Healer and I love magic in games, started playing WoW because of Dragonflight so it was kinda a dream expansion and a dream class for me and I know someone who plays on a server as an Alliance so I went with that faction. Watched the movie Warcraft and I jumped into the game after it for the first time :)

And the ability to just chuck some random something at a target is actually a legitimate damage source while leveling.

been a draenei paladin main from cata to end of wod where i picked up resto druid and went pve, mained that until i took a 3 year break from bfa to end of SL. then when DF came out, ended up maining evoker. ngl, im torn between classes rn. i want to main a Draenei like old times, but they cant be druids, which is annoying. so i guess its between my old paladin or shaman, or a priest (have to be a healer/dps spec, a tank spec is just an added bonus). im leaning more towards a priest or a paladin, cuz tbh, plate and cloth have the best transmog imo

Original? The Horde in Durotar were pushing back Alliance invaders, escaping SLAVERY, and rebuilding their homes. Burning Crusade, the Blood Elves (abandoned by their old allies the Alliance) led the charge WITH THE HORDE to stop the Legion and retake the orcs ancestral home whilst the Alliance played petty war in Hellfire. Wrath, Sylvanas finally breaks herself free, the orcs seek to undo past wrongs. Cataclysm, sure. Pandaria, sure, but the Horde is trying to clear up it's mess whilst the Alliance play petty war. Clearly you've never played Horde. How are the Tauren evil? How are the trolls evil? And if you say Voodoo, then surely the humans are just as bad when they've enslaved orcs and have things like the Scarlet Crusade? Look at the Night Elves, most of the bad stuff that's happened has been their direct fault, and Tyrande has actively been an aggressor. You're wrong and massively underselling the lore to see any one faction as good or bad. The entire POINT is that they're all complex with their own views and cultures trying to find their way in a broken world.

I love the "get out clause" at the end of the argument - so when I disagree you can just dismiss me as Horde. Did you play Legion? Did you not see how Illidan rails against the Naaru because her Light is every bit as oppressive as the Legion? Have you not read the lore of the Alliance? The really messed up stuff they've done to their own people? How xenophobic and outright hostile to non-humans many of the Seven Kingdoms were? The internment camps? Or how the Kal'dorei originally screwed up the world, are still basically nationalists. The Alliance as a whole has a superiority complex. Wrynn wasn't exactly a shining paragon during his time. Yeah, he wasn't as outrightly evil as Garrison but that's why we bring him down. The Horde stops supporting him too.
