Okay. That’s the problem with the allied races. Not that it shows that they’re accepted into the factions as wholly as possible, which isn’t always that much even with the main cast, but that the few races that aren’t as aligned but still are allies aren’t available to play as. Although the game mechanics would make them into full members in no time anyway.
Are they called Allied Races because of how they’re unlocked, rather than their stances on the factions?

At this point, who knows?
Or who cares. All that matters is the options to RP, the more the merrier if presented right. And not like the Eredar or dark rangers.
The arguably only Allied race that actually fit were the Zandalari, standing as a separate but allied nation. Talanji was pretty clear about it.
Not sure that still applies these days but it did when they were first ‘recruited’.

You were one of the people arguing about it!
I wouldn’t mind more being added during another expansion or standard non rep ones appearing at the start of whatever comes next.
Isn’t it “just” the Alliance’s collective armies?
It’s how she copes. She loves everyone and forgives anyone even if it’s difficult. Unless she just eats you. And the deathlord wouldn’t be good for her digestion.
It’s just a convenient word for inserting new playables. They’re firmly part of their respective factions.
I would argue the Nightborne fit pretty well too, even if they’re a copy of the blood elves.
Rest should definetly have been customisation options.
Atleats thr gobo’s will get that with gilgoblins!
I doubt Druids are on the top of the list: we’re more likely to see Shaman and Paladin released next, and Druids as a distant target due to their many forms and the custom models associated with them!
Also, ngl I wouldn’t mind Druid of the Flame customisations! Especially if they’re released alongside NElf Shaman!
Wym, most of the Horde literally fought at the behest of a genocidal maniac who had no issue’s throwing Azeroth back into the hands of the Black Empire to win.
Garrosh got closer to totally annihilating Azeroth with the powers of the Void then the whole collective of Void Elves combined.
So blaming the Alliance for something the Horde almost succeeded in doing is kinda of a weird point to make, wouldn’t you agree?

There are two ways you could see this. Either that due to being a magical creature, she’s above mortal threshold for… A lot of things even though she does suffers, reacts, feels, and behaves in many ways like them ; I’m sincerely having a mental void about when was the last time Dragons behaved like Dragons and not just super-powered Elves/Mortals and I’m not even being a jerk about this ; or that Alexstrasza due to having been tempered by Titan and Order bleh magic she’s been conditioned that way to always forgive no matter how atrocious of an act is inflicted upon her species by mortal and sentient life.

It’s an open question whether the titans enchanced the more noble qualities of the aspects after elevating them from their animal states. The still have the fallible minds of people as such and Neltharion just couldn’t handle what he was put through. And Alex can just say screw it and eat people if that compassionate nature is stretched to its limit… after all, dragon.

So Nekros or whatever that Orc’s name was gets devoured for smashing and bathing in the yolk of her children’s eggs and other unsavoury torture but the Deathlord going on a rampage when her flight’s last batch of whelplings got annihilated gets… Nothing.
Ultimately it’s writers fault for this dissonance. It is what it is…

Most of the Horde (read: only one part of a single race because the rest all realized he was insane and turned on him)
Meanwhile the Alliance fully welcomed the void elves completely
Alliance player be honest challenge (impossible)

They’re actually pretty mistrusted, sticking to the shadows as it were.
You said it yourself
Not quite. It is only through the High King and being vouched by a revered Hero of the Alliance that they got in all while being uneasily being welcomed in the Alliance who remains polite.
Also carried their own weight during Alliance expeditions and warfare without going… Bonkers even amidsts an Old God re-emerging.
As much as I wish it were otherwise this is only true in the scope of 1x single interview. Other than that they’ve never been shown to be particularly maligned, and made for an active open part of the zuldazar warcrime commitee
(ignore all the void elf cultists you fought while doing wrathion’s busywork)
I’m sticking with the idea that her go-to solution with these things would leave her with an upset stomach and haunting the deathlord with disappointed mom-glares is probably more satisfying.

Who wasn’t a cultist at that point? Kinda moot here.
Deathlord going about his business as pure force of entropy not giving a f- about Alex and her dissaproval… Heck he might even mount up the Order Hall mount in front of her for extra points.
I will, as they were about as real as a bad nightmare in the end. Old gods thinking up a happy place to shove in our faces does not equal reality.
