You missed my point. Whatever the allied races would be, they decided to make the horde and the alliance race this time, unevenly obtained. While previously it has been even.

You can’t un-neutral a faction that is available to both, that would be ridiculous and complete bias.

I have had to do various reputation grinds on both sides to get various Heritage Armour on Alliance or unlock a new Allied Race where they are not a neutral faction.
I am astounded anyone is upset that a neutral faction is neutral.

Indeed 
Really confused why people didnt expect this after legion when all AR factions were neutral to earn for all then moved to faction based for reasons.
You have to grind one less faction by having a Horde main. Which will be the case for all Horde mains. You get one faction less to worry about.
Yes on this occasion. Hardly an amazing perk. There are times when the Alliance get it a lot easier.
This was a neutral faction. Mechagon rep is not an Alliance exclusive.

In terms of story and where/when you meet the races and can gain reputation, it certainly makes sense for the Vulpera and Mechagnomes to be tied to the reputations that they are. However, I completely agree that it’s lopsided that Horde mains can unlock Mechagnomes without having to grind anything else on their Alliance alts, when the reverse isn’t true. Likewise having one of the story requirements locked behind a dungeon and the other without such a requirement. TBH I always expected some outrage that (for people who didn’t play in Legion), HMT are much easier to unlock as you can do that while levelling up, whereas you can’t access the content and reps for Void Elves or LFD until 110. It will be the same for Vulpera Vs Mechagnomes in future expansions - I can be done when levelling, the other cannot. Sure, there’s other reps that can’t be done til the current max level on both sides too.

As a horde main I’ve got like 6 less factions to worry about.
Why would I care about alliance races as a horde main? XD
I never said tables won’t turn, but after all the negativity within the Alliance at this point, I think many are going to get upset when they realize. Which is why I am surprised Blizzard decided on this at this point, but I guess hard to plan.
Completionists will, regardless of what they main 
Edit: Speaking of completionists of spesific tasks obviously.
Well you could argue.
Alliance have had a lot longer to exalt with voldunai then horde will have to do mechagon.
Also due to how mechagons reputation works it’s a lot easier to do voldunai reputations.
Well yes, but then I just pay the transfer fee to instantly unlock the alliance variants of all the races at the end of BFA. Lmao.
It worked when I did it to gain access to both kul tiran and dark iron dwarf 
The Alliance are never happy, they see bias and claim it at every little thing.
There is nothing unusual about any of this:-
- Allied races are tied to a reputation of the race you are unlocking
- Neutral races are always open to both factions
Unless Mechagon was going to be an Alliance only zone, there was no way for this reputation not to be shared.
I dare say it’s a lot easier for an Alliance to go on a Horde alt to bash out the Vulpera reputation requirements than an Horde to go on an Alliance alt to do the same for Mechagon (end game only, no proper WQs etc). You can do a huge chunk of the Vulpera rep by just levelling/questing through the zone, doing the Voldunai emissary when up, Invasions and the WQs.

Because this has been addressed already since the Kul Tiran requirements. It’s unfair that the Alliance has it harder but you have to deal with it anyway.
Oh indeed. People with time on their hands really should start farming rep with both sides from the start.
Well tbh… Well yes, but we can look at the other side of really as i said above.
I can pay a Race transfer, and due to the fact my factions will convert to the alliance Counterparts at the same level as it is. means i could transfer my char to alliance to exalted with every alliance faction.
meaning i can instantly Unlock ALL alliance allied races. for owning the reputations on a horde char.
Yeah sure its £27. both ways for the sakes of this… but i can earn £27 ALOT faster then actually farming those Out manually.
i mean u can consider everything in the game to have Bias.
Rogues have Sat on the tops of DPS meters for 4 years now… while WW Monks have Sucked outside of one Tier in Legion.
boom, Rogue Bias.
Before WoD Mages Owned the DPS Meters… BOOM Mage bias.
to continously push everything as a Bias is Endless realistically… as u can call it on Everytime something else is winning.
There is no reason everyone has to unlock every Allied the race the moment it drops.
I never did the grind for DiD or KT for example until I was ready to go and level my Alliance and do the necessary reputation grind.
There is nothing wrong with people grinding in advance. I have a few friends who are dead keen on Vulpera and have done the grind in advance. Others aren’t fussed and will do it when they have time.
This is why the bee mount is alliance only because it is rep locked, where the horde recolors are not behind any rep, Id rather be on a bee then be a mechagnome .
