The Zandalari are still only a tiny proportion of the playerbase though. Vulpera arenât going to be the make or break of the Alliance. When they introduced the Void Elves there were lots of doom merchants foretelling the end of the Horde because of a Race choice. Of course that never came to pass because itâs just not something that sways the bulk of the player base. They are the most popular Allied race though. But I think weâve had that discussion. Or itâs been on the forums several times with all these discussions
Of course allied races on its own wonât make or break either faction⌠Iâm pointing out that I donât think itâs one thing that has made the Horde the âbetterâ optionâŚ
I think that the swaying of the population happened in 2 phases between the horde and alliance.
Once in tbc (people were massivly towards alliance cause prettier races) we got belfs and it balanced everything and then from legion when the Human racial got nerfed. And to be able to participate in pvp you didnât need to be alliance. Before that you needed to be human or you didnât play pvp which wasnât the case for pve you could do high end raiding as alliance. When they nerfed EMFH it opened the way for people to play what they like. I believe generally speaking people are more inclined to play horde we got pretty races/interesting races. Alot of options no reasonable advantage in pve or pvp.
ALso this by itself shouldnât mean letâs catter to the alliance and give them exclusive currently alliance has the bee mount completly unique and unusable by the other faction while kuaâfon and the direhorn are usable on alliance. This is blatant Alliance bias you canât shove it any way.
I would be so happy if alpacas are exclusive to horde and alliance never gets to touch them to balance things out but it seems alliance needs to be cattered more and more just cause people donât like being blue but need incentive.
