(\/w Humor)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I was talking to Takalo, a taru who used to play FFXI, then WoW but&#8230; he only DotA&#8217;s now. We came across class talks, dps (Damage-Dealers) builds and then later, why he pick alliance. Here&#8217;s a few reasons we think people play alliance or Horde.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alliance<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>People who are kind and gentle in real life generally perceived themselves as god guys, hence want to be on the good side<\/li>\n<li>People who just wants to have pretty or cool looking characters. (Gnomes are like Tarus)<\/li>\n<li>Its easier to learn as alliance, since stuff resembles real-life structures and buildings. When you walk into a food shop, you&#8217;re bound to find vendor that sells food there. (kinda like learning how to play Zerg vs Terran)<\/li>\n<li>Pre-Burning Crusade, the Horde had ugly characters, well imo at least, so it wasn&#8217;t attracting females.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Horde<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>People who played for the desire to own because of attractive racial trait (its like Tarus have extra MP, Galka have more STR, same thing exists in WoW)<\/li>\n<li>People who wants to be something different (because most other MMO, they are the good guys, just like FFXI)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nOf course both share some properties, such as &#8220;I pick Alliance because my friends are there&#8221;, but what&#8217;s important is why YOUR friend choose their respective faction.<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re just a casual gamer, you&#8217;d pick based on your preference, but if you were a hardcore gamer who desires to own others, or just love the feeling of ownage, you&#8217;d pick Horde simply because of their racial trait that&#8217;s offered. Orc&#8217;s anti-stun and pet strength, Taruen&#8217;s stomp and HP, Troll&#8217;s berserk and Undead&#8217;s Will of Forsaken, simply just owns stuff like Night Elves&#8217; &#8220;faster walk speed while dead&#8221; or their &#8220;nerfed Invisibility&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, if allies have nice racial trait, I&#8217;d play that but&#8230; Escape Artist and +5 to Engineering simply don&#8217;t attract me :&lt; for someone who desires to own in PvP. I only play allies because friends are there, but basically that&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n<p>That was just the conclusion me and Takalo came up with. Takalo is doing fine hehe :)<\/p>\n<p>I ask the same question to Connie&#8230; she&#8217;d pick Ally simply because of its looks, and only because of looks :o So yeh &#8216;.&#8217; I think the faction itself tends to attract a specific type of players, and that&#8217;s bad, because then you aren&#8217;t equally spreading the players, skillful and casual equally among both faction, which creates the whole image of &#8220;Horde owns Alliance most of the time&#8221; image.<\/p>\n<p>If you were to play WoW, what would you pick?<\/p>\n<p>Btw, if you don&#8217;t know what WoW&#8217;s about, here&#8217;s one of the Simpson Episode that kinda laughs at WoW, its pretty funny haha! Enjoy ;).
