technicaly that happened at start of bfa, where many top guilds stacked trolls due to the racials.
though one huge problem why alliance players go horde, is not just becuse of bigger pool, but becuse of no realms getting connected, you se horde is more established on some servers, what makes it easier to join theese servers, where alliance is scattered all over the place, exept one server what is silvermoon, even ravencrest is bleeding now, if blizzard would connect alliance dominated servers whit eachother, making alliance more centered arround some server clusters, it would also become way easier to get players, becuse there is a lot of good alliance raiders out there, but they do not want to transfer to an other server, and if they do they go silvermoon, and the rest of the servers die out slowly.
How about wipeout of racial’s and implementation of zodiac and birthmark system,which would be same for both faction?
Zodiac would be active ability ,and birth mark passive one.
So you can take arcane torrent zodiac sign and cultivation birth mark

Its not the racials.
The PvE top players simply consolidated on one faction, because two faction system is completely detrimental to current state of PvE. It happened to be horde, because the horde did better on Cata and MoP, and the migration to horde happened during these two expansions and never stopped. If your focus is PvE, you go Horde. If you don’t, you are the exception and not the Norm. The racials basically motivate 1% of playerbase when it comes to their faction choice.
Because having more players on your faction is the single most important thing in an MMO? I know there are many players who are only leveling and doing daylies solo and nothing else. Great for them. They don’t care about me and i don’t care about them. If i want to actually run a dungeon or a raid i need other players to do so.
And i am not talking about some ultra-high-end activities here. Since the incredibly advanced LFD/R tool does not allow to select other languages, going into LFR has been a real ordeal this expansion. Not that there would be any reason to do so, mind you, but if i wanted to, my only option would be to ask a player from an english relam to Q me up, as the wait times on my faction+language combo are absolutely abysmal and if you can only play late at night, groups will never replace leavers, either. The same is true for waitfronts.
Yes, having more players that you are actually able to play WITH is important. People switching Horde understand this. For most of them, this reason is far more important than racials or having a sexy belf rear in front of them while playing.
And that is also why changing racials would accomplish absolutely nothing at this point. It’s just over.
I picked blood elf because I liked the aesthetic. And I like the idea of the initial mana tap.

I miss Mana Tap. And good Arcane Torrent. And the later decent enough Arcane Torrent. No longer even on the action bar

3% mana is like… why even bother. Doesn’t cover one spell.
All of this because some kiddies cried belf racials actually did something.

Or, a completely different idea, start revolting against the top guilds and blame them for the imbalance they caused and how everyone followed them.
Would love to see outcome of this.

we could test the “Horde bias” theory. everyone go alliace for 6months and see if blizzard suddenly does something about it

Six months are not enough and you know this.
if horde went to below 20% Population for 6 straight months… if blizzard do really adore the horde. they’d surely do something xD. but then again… how would u convince the vast majority of horde to reroll entirely for this xD.
but maybe a whole expansion would work
But that isnt true from classic to WoD alliance was the stronger faction.
Its only when blizz nerfed alliance racials it made them move can you blame them ?

you sure?
i heard Horde got more popular since TBC? also didnt WoD have the huge Bug which caused alot of players to reroll alliance to bypass being gated from content for weeks while blizz fixed it during WoD Release?
there was a huge thread on it and even that WoW-Song creator even included it into his Song when he returned in Legion.
and i dunno, im considering rerolling alliance for SL XD
I haven’t played before WoD, therefore I cannot say anything to the situation but what people write nowadays about WoD and how the human pseudo trinket trait dominated in the arenas.
Its why Merc mode was brought in for alliance first in WoD … please think before you post the facts are out there.

They had their chance in cataclysm, but blizz didnt bother about it.
I foreseen faction merge or someting similar after shadowlands.
thats why i pre-faced it with Heard XD… i’ve been horde since vanilla and cant really say im that Invested to really of ever known which was more popular all that time ago.
I’ve just noticed its become more and more popular to see threads on this nowadays.
i just know in TBC… horde gained a Shed ton of Blood elves that infested the Entirity of horde zones 
and im sure the facts are avaliable somewhere, but they beneath the thousands of posts made about faction Popularity… saying different things continously… its hard to really tell the Real from False information these days, even articles and more etc etc can be wildly inaccurate or Bias in some way.
