Vunde Less and less alliance players...Less guild meaning less players if they won't switch to horde...
The amount of hours online is pretty 50/50 between factions:

It is for the first time in history that horde surpasses alliance, that's true. There was one "horde beats alliance" a few xpacs back (I can't find it on the site anymore so you'll have to take my word for it) but the rest of all those years alliance hours online beat horde hours online.
Why do you even talk about hours online? It doesnt matter how much you play if nothing is accomplished.
https://www.worldofwargraphs.com/pvp-stats/races/2200-rating
Factions above 2.2k
Horde - 75.6%
Alliance - 24.4%
Just that you know a month ago it was:
Alliance - 28.9%
Horde - 71.1%
If 4% growth in such a short time is nothing i dont know what to say. My guess (which probably is right) these 4% of people switched horde or horde mained more alts.
https://www.worldofwargraphs.com/pve-stats/best-guilds
in top 100:
7 guilds out of 100 are alliance with the recent switch of scurbbusters and others in legion (especially for myth kj because of rocket jump). There was also a mass exodus from alliance in mop in throne of thunder and dont forget how BE racial works on Zul. How was this not tested? If game designers are professionals these things should not happen.

The difference in mythic+ is basically in horde favour. Their dungeons are easier and thair racials are very useful there. How is that not Bias? Just that you know BE purge saves up to 1.5 min in a dungeon.

For lock shaman rogue, mage, hunter, druid, spriest and dk TROLL is the best race, Monks best race is tauren, just like BE for paladin.
This is just pure dps against a dummy which doesnt represent real fight. In real fight there is always a burst phase where dmg racials really matter thus making horde racials even better.
This expansion horde was handled:
- warfronts gear
- absolutely better racials in every situation
- warmode imbalance (there were easy solutions on forum like not going capping with one faction and have 1v1 ratio but it was not adressed. Coincidence?)
- story in wich alliance is a punching bag with no real victories
- heritage armor for horde most played race while alliance got armor for the 5th most played race
- Horse mounts for alliance while horde gets variety of new models
Also dont forget:
- "horde is waiting for you"
- lead game designer that is proud of not getting double agent achievement
- Pannel where designer wanted to paint a horde symbol on varian memorial
- The announcement about mechagnomes where gd says goblins could do everything better

All these things happened in this
ONE expansion.
Isnt that an indication of bias? How is it ok to have one faction have more than TWICE the representation of other faction above 2.2 rating.
Btw adding bots to the bg will even more increase faction imbalance because while horde has a pool of real players alliance will be left with bots which are easy to beat which will result in even more horde win ratio.
There are too many "mistakes" that happened this expansion thats why the outcry and cancelation of subs topics are prevalant on the forum. At this point it isnt even a question if there is horde bias or not.
The overall ratio of horde : alliance at 120
In us is 55 -45
https://realmpop.com/us.html
In eu is 56 - 44
The difference in population is more than 10% and that is huge in actual numbers
The only way to fix the imbalance is buffing alliance racials to the point of them being op in pvp because the same thing is impossible in pve due them being defensive and very niche. That will attract pvp players thus making pvp community on alliance and pve on horde.
Unfortunatelly that is the only way because none other methods will work. People will always max out their performance and unless one side has advantage in on aspect of the game there is no incencetive to pay transfer to losing faction. If this wont be done untill the end of bfa there wont be alliance as a faction because the mass transfer to horde is so big that there wont be enough players to actually participate in content. The main example being faction kills of mythic guun where horde had already maxed out the achievment while alliance is not even half way through because of no players on this side.
