I am stuck on a decision for days now…
I can’t decide what faction to play in the next expansion.
On one hand we have the horde who’s races I don’t really like how they look.
I hate to see hooves, toes, claws instead of boots.
I hate seeing gigantic shoulder armor that clip into your face.
I love the goblins, blood elfs and pandaren races, but the classes I love to play (warrior, survival hunter, demon hunter, monk) have really bad problems with weapon “holding”.
Take for example the spears…this problem has been in the game since the beginning, and it still amazes me that they didn’t fix it. All spears, polearms, halberds look like antennas on your character’s back…really hate that. (except for the Legion artifact weapon…that is the only one that is actually good).
Two-handed weapons on blood elf females and goblins are so huge it’s ridiculous. When a blood-elf female walks with a gigantic two-handed sword on its back I feel like she always wants to turn left, because the weight on her back is too much. Not to mention when you have 2 gigantic weapons you can’t even see your character (goblin).
What I like about the horde are the players. Yes, there are toxic, arrogant, narcissist players everywhere, you can’t escape that, but compared to the alliance, the horde has less of those, and more understanding people.
The guild I played with (raids, dungeons) at the beginning of the expansion, were very awesome. Even if we wiped (and we did bcs i was a healer) we laughed about it and moved on. We didn’t fight over who was wrong or who did or didn’t do things correctly. Unfortunately they all decided not to play WoW anymore because they didn’t like Shadowlands.
On the other hand we have the alliance, who’s races I like how they look: Human, dwarf, gnome, night elf. However, the players on the alliance side are so toxic it really makes me question why i even play the game. I’m not saying that all are like that…just the ones i came in contact with, and most of them were in LFR and dungeons (hc not even mythic).
So this is why I am stuck. I can’t decide between cool looking characters but toxic players, or not so cool looking characters but good players.
How do I decide?
Wanted to try something new, so playing Alliance now. Also they have shorter wait times for BGs and recieve more honor.
