People here have given enough examples to solve the issues the alliance is having.

Between reworking warmode which blizzard probably won’t do and let people cross faction que up for pve ( which will never happen since we play world of WARcraft and if you are able to join cross faction what’s the point of factions in the first place?) there are no options
And again “buff our racials and nerf horde racials”

In my opinion the only real fix is either making the alliance racials more overpowered than they already are with a cheap faction change price or making people be able to play with the opposite faction.
interestingly, if they did the latter many classes would instantly go alliance if they could afford to since the racials are all superior except for orc. You’d just get a mix of teams.
Right now, it costs too much to transfer characters for people to do it without it giving a huge advantage.
Ah, giving the World of WARcraft argument.
So convincing and not cringy at all.
and also completely ignoring the fact that they literally team up to fight common threats together all the time.
That’s literally the name of the game if you’re not aware by this point.
Oh cool, I bet the alliance factions would love to team up with the horde who actually enjoyed burning down Teldrassil?

They can’t balance faction, and that issue is impossible to solve by now.
Had they thought aboot this 5 years ago, that problem wouldn’t have snowballed into that massive migration from Alliance to Horde.
As a former Alliance player who only focus in the game is raiding, I felt like I had to play Horde if I wanted an easier time raiding. I’m not saying it’s impossible to raid as Alliance, I’m just saying it’s harder as time goes on and on. In my opinion, the point of non-return was reached when HEROIC guilds started to move Horde. Yes, even HC raiders, who can benefit from pick ups are leaving the Alliance, because they wan’t a more consistent roster.
By the way, moving Horde is a win-win situation for both Guilds and players. In fact, players have more guilds to pick from, even those with some ““special”” way of raiding. Here is an example : On french realms, if you wanna raid from midnight to 6 am, then you can’t on Alliance side, because no French Alliance guild offers that. However, there are some night raiding guilds on Horde side, thus players who only raid nights are pushed on Horde side.
Also, WoW is still a MMORPG so playing on the most populated faction makes sense. When I was still a die hard Alliance, my opinion was to not blame players moving to Horde side, because that just makes sense doing so. And that’s the wrong people to blame here.
Now, let’s add some lore. Ho, I really love Cenarion circle. To bad, I can’t roleplay as a Cenarion druid. Didn’t Horde and Alliance teamed up to fight against world end threats ? Yes, we did. Jaina and Thrall can communicate whereas, us, players…can’t do so. What the f ???
Either Blizzard merge factions for PvE, either all players are going under the same banner, the result would be the same in the end.

I do not want to be disrespectful towards the lore lovers - but i can assure you that people who actually play the game at average or above average content would love a cross faction lfg play.
and again, alliance and horde have been fighting alongside each other for a long long time - cross faction play won’t break the game - the world of WARcraft argument is just a bad argument. sorry.

Never going to happen, I’m pretty sure a lot of players don’t want cross faction lfg as well. Sorry not sorry.

Delusional.
You are indeed.

no idea how to fix it, unless removal of factions, or someone sort of cross play, but I do have a feeling alliance might dropp under 40% real soon, if this trend continues.
You must be delusional if you think most horde players want to play with alliance, sorry.
Also this just proves how almost all alliance players are just crybabies

Within the confines of lore though XF play is totally plausible.
We represent heroes and champions, we are not the ordinary civillians of Azeroth. We’re the ones who band together as necessary to prevent threats from wiping us all out. In the meantime the pig farmers in Durotar still tell rude jokes about humans.
The fact that these champions who have always grouped together (as far as cinematics and story goes) can actually do so in game does not change this. It does not mean that humans can enter orgrimmar, or orcs can enter stormwind. It simply means that when your cinematic shows your human char nodding at thrall that “now’s the time to put aside our differences” your char can actually group up with orcs to make good on that. This is as opposed to the current situation where the leaders all agree to work together, and then the champions of the respective factions act on that premise by completely ruling out working with the other faction because “the war” or whatever, but then you all celebrate together at the end.
It would also stop parts of the story being exclusively progressed by one faction if both could qwork together in them. For example the alliance in Uldir, what was the point? In lore canon it was horde who solved this issue, not alliance, so we may as well not have been there at all.
The faction war doesn’t stop just because some individuals raise above it when necessary, in the same way a world war doesn’t stop just because some people protest the actions of their government and try to lend support/show solidarity to individuals from the nation their country is at war with.
Some people take the factionalism in this game way too seriously - “I’d never group with alliance players ever!!!” type stuff. Who are you kidding. If a horde player and an alliance player stood side by side in the street you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. Imagine demonising people because of a choice of preference they make in a video game for crying out loud.

I’m a horde main, I have an alliance character, the story is boring and most ally are just as shallow and annoying as you are, hence why I don’t like alliance.

You do realise the irony of labelling alliance players shallow when you’ve literally just labelled them all negatively based on nothing but the faction they choose to play right?
I mean, nothing’s wrong with preferring a faction over the other, but the whole “and those who play the other are all (insert bad thing here)” is just cringeworthy, especially if you’re labelling them as a trait you’re actually demonstrating in doing so.

If you’re about to do try “talking back” at someone at least read their reply correctly. “most” and “all” are not the same words
Why are you trying to label yourself in the category I described? you want to have an argument yet you can’t even correctly read one’s reply.

Okay, so calling “most” of a group shallow, based upon their membership in that group instead of “all” makes you fully vindicated from what i’m pointing out?
So if I call 90/100 people muppets based upon the fact they like blue, instead of 100/100, that’s the trick huh?

They don’t, nobody wants to play faction which is treated like dirt because of very bad developer decisions and neglection.
