Never thought this would be as big of an outrage as it is, i didnt see a single comment complaining that the auctioneer mount is horde themed, one of the reasons it turned me away from farming it and just get engineering for boralus ah x)
I respect all your opinions but I think Baine is not an Alliance Bootlick, actually he just wants peace but he love and care for the Horde, even if he doesn’t show it the best way.

Summary
But yeah it was quite strange seeing him stepping in Stormwind…
Tell me one leading NPC of either faction that was represented well by Christie Goldens writing. Jaina’s plot was so so (the plot you do while questing - it is really good quest chain), but it is possible this (and burning of tree AFAIK) were done laready before she joined. She said she didn’t write the tree part, but wrote things with the Boy king and such.
I think we have much larger issue here than just ‘horde leaders’ or baine or sylvanas.

Being Horde themed, or rather Zuldazar themed, does not stop the other faction using it.
The Bee mount is Alliance specific and can not be used by Horde, on the other hand, the two Horde specific mounts can be ridden on Alliance characters.
I honestly am amused about the amount of possible conspiracy theories that can sprout around this.
Yeah i agree thats stupid, mostly because the bee isn’t really … alliance themed
But at the same time the only mount i’d ever get in this game has stinking zuldazar theme on it, making it pretty much unusable for alliance except for its utillity (the bee has none)
I am not sure how it’s a conspiracy. What do you mean.
But horde can ride the blue Ray mount you get from exalted nazjatar !
But I truly do not understand the issue with bee mount. This game has always had horde and alliance mounts. Always.
Like someone said about vulpera - if you want bee mount roll alliance. If you want Vulpera roll horde.
I am alliance and I cannot care less of the bee mount and next to no one in Boralus uses it to afk either.

Oh boy harder than it sounds
Why does everyone play undead or male orc healers
But i will make it! … one day …
…
… Maybe next expansion …
… or the patch after that …
… We’ll see
I meant conspiracy theories made by players. Some examples:
-
It’s being done to make the Alliance feel better about being portrayed badly in BfA, by being given something special.
-
It’s to incentivize players to try the Alliance, as it provides rewards unique to it.
I play female night elves. I do not heal !
Which reminds me as one of the last 24 surviving alliance - my mythic raid starts in 10 minutes. Probably only alliance mythic raid happening this reset.
I ment on horde, i got 1 of each class max level on alliance now, gonna do the same on horde ( just because of vulperas tbh ) but how i will get there is another thing
But they aren’t the same. The Horde exclusive mounts can be used by Alliance. The Alliance exclusive one can’t be used by Horde.
I’m not sure what you mean about the blue ray mount in Nazj. The Horde one is red.
I play also a blood elf death knight, 2 orc death knights, troll death knight, nightborne warlock, highmountain druid and then I have 3 blood elf paladins. They all 110-111… but … I think I need more death knights.
Oh that kind of tin foil hat stuff.
Indeed. It’s amusing to read, don’t you think? But then again, when it comes to tin foil conspiracy theories, these forums never fail to deliver.

I’ve done 6 dungeons, 2 holy priest undeads ( Why ) and 3/4 were orcs, i forgot which class was which tho
( as my healer btw )
You can use Ankoan mount as horde. You get it as Ankoan exalted and its blue. You can use it as Horde. I ride it and some people have asked where you get blue one. 
All I see there is a big fire. The real motive behind burning that tree might not yet be revealed so, once again, dunno what to think. But if you want to talk about bad presentation, you might want to consider that the only two choices in BFA are either Sylvanas or the Alliance. Which includes Saurfang. So, in the end yeah, people have to see what they want to see given the limited choices. Including justifying Sylvanas’ actions.
There isn’t one. Christine Golden is not interested in game lore or even entertainment, she’s more focused on subliminal political messages. I knew she was bad news after reading War Crimes, namely the extremely awkward and inappropriate rape awareness part with Alexstrasza.
The issue is some writer taking characters and turning them into nod-alongs for her favorite characters. I wanted to puke my guts out when I saw Lor’themar willing to “put his differences aside” and fight Sylvanas by teaming up with Jaina.
If both sides can ride the other one it’s still equal. However the Bee mount can not be used by Horde. The two Zuldazar exclusive Horde mounts can be used by Alliance (once they’ve obtained them on a Horde character).
I have not played enough Alliance to buy the 250 pearl mount on that side but that still doesn’t change what the problem is with the Bee mount.
No one minds when people can use opposite faction mounts when it’s done fairly.
