A lack of Alliance pride

Larisa makes an engrossing attending most the Battlecry mosaic that's existence assembled over on Blizzard's website. There trusty are a aggregation of Horde symbols there, and not quite so some Alliance symbols. The prizewinning information we hit access to actually says that Alliance outnumber the Horde, and ancedotally, we undergo that's belike true. So ground aren't the Alliance representing?

Now, it could meet be limited to this activity -- perhaps Horde players pay more instance online, or hit more free instance in general, and thusly hit the knowhow and quantity to accede their pictures. But this supply has come up before (on our podcast as well): while some Horde players are ready to jump in and shout "For the Horde!" at a moment's notice, not so some Alliance players are as unstoppered most their allegiances. As Larisa asks: where's the ingroup pride?

I presume I'm belike venture sort one: I've played my Horde characters for longer, so modify though I've been playing Alliance toons for over a year now, I still study myself a Hordie. And you could argue that existence Alliance effectuation you're more choice and inferior aggressive by nature -- everyone knows Horde are the folks who pick a fight.

But certainly, modify though Blizzard has done their prizewinning to make some Alliance pride (and I'm trusty they'll ready disagreeable in the future), it meet doesn't seem there. Why aren't we seeing more Alliance stepping up for their faction?
