The real unbalance in the game is the fact that Horde gets to play 5 alliance core rigs during the war within.
Right now you can play night elves both male and female in form of a nightborne with the same animations, emotes, dances…
Soon when dracthyr will get all classes (as it was confirmed already) you will be able to play human female during their visage forms all time.
Right now some spells turn you to the dragon form obviously. Yet you can run around as human already.
Then in the war within horde gets dwarves.
Thus this will make in total 5 alliance rigs running around Orgrimmar
I don’t see reason why alliance did not get a single core Horde rig till this day.
There are already skiny kul tirans using the female forsaken rig why not make them playable then?
Also alliance should asap get Orcs, Trolls or Tauren(probably Taunka but when?)
No I won’t mention the High Elves rig. They belong to the alliance they were always part of the faction and they were part of the game even in vanilla but they were using the night elf rig.
Also blood elves are not the original wow core horde race since it was introduced in TBC.

I’m torn on this as I usually preach about letting players have the option to play what they like. If I wasn’t this way inclined, I’d say that Horde should be Horde and Alliance be Alliance.
However, in the interest of remaining consistent, I think if this was to happen more and more, blizzard may as well just merge the whole race choice so that you pick your Race and Class, customise it and then choose which faction you want to pledge your allegiance to. They could have it so that you don’t make a choice until level 10 or something. Can’t see that ever happening and I’d imagine the majority of players would hate it.
I would like to disagree. This is the reason why are we getting lazy copy paste content.
Thats why dractyrs are just humans and elves.
They could have introduced new rigs and new set of animations. If all the races shared 1 rig that would be stupid too.
Silhouettes are very important aspect of the game and its readability. I am sure that company like blizzard could have done more but since everyone is throwing money at them why would they even try…
anw not point of this thread anyway. I always thought they trying to be fair for both factions in terms of gameplay.
The faction balance is 90-10%. Most of their players are in horde that is why they give them alliance races because nobody wants to go back to alliance but they want to play with alliance characters. Maybe start buffing alliance racials that could change things. I don’t know why not. Was it fair that people were compelled to swap to horde to faceroll pve if it was the other way around suddenly it is a problem?
You can play a Nightborn in the form of a Night Elf.
You can play a blood elf in the form of Void Elf.
You can play dractyr.
You can play pandaren.
You can play an Earthen.
Im not sure how im meant to interpret this thread.
You say the horde has 5 alliance models.
And then list only 3.
You say that blood elves dont count as theyre not a core race introduced in vanilla.
But then the alliance only had 4 races so how did the horde get 5 of them?
Worked like that in MoP with monks. Once you reached max level you pledged your allegiance to either faction.
Since everything is neutral now and both factions are at peace they may as well change the UI and set it up like this. Then again you never know one rotten apple can upset the entire cart so they may leave it as is incase they change their minds.
Technically Blood elfs and Void elfs are the same Rig
so…
i wouldnt mind a Vulpera Rig on the alliance … that one seems to make sense tbh
or maybe outcast Trolls ( trolls that have been banished from their tribe )
could even throw Goblins to Alliance as they are technically neutral
Technically, Dracthyr are also female Worgen. I’m more than willing to accept visage forms, as this is something dragons have been doing since forever. I am more disappointed that they just shaved a femWorgen, slapped some scales onto the poor lass and basically called it a day.
Dragonflight really is the “we don’t have nearly enough dev resources for this deadline, or any deadline” expansion, if there ever was one.
Different cartels though. Every cartel can choose their allegiances freely. Technically Blizzard could put in a Goblin cartel that is Alliance friendly, but Goblins have always been more associated with Orcs, back from when they all were just semi-sentient fungi.
Which, if I am not mistaken, are just shaved Pandaren with longer legs.
