Horde makes me feel like one of the bad guys.

Classic-Era

Let me preface this with the fact that the farthest I’ve ever made it on alliance is around level 20 or so in Classic Anniversary / Era and the fact that I didn’t play OG Classic and only really started playing the game around TBC / WoTLK and got my first 70 through triple XP and barely remember any of the quests and the proceeded to main a DK until Legion.

I restarted on Era as a Tauren Druid ( because Horde Druid is my main on Retail ) and have now made it to Hillsbrad / Alterac / Arathi and am 33 and in my time questing it feels like more often than not the Horde is far more antagonistic towards the Alliance than the Alliance is towards the horde.

From wiping out an entire post of Night Elves in Ashenvale to systemically destroying an entire society of Humans in Hillsbrad. I know the factions are at odds in classic and that’s apart of the original vibe but I don’t remember anything quite like this on the Alliance side. Maybe I’m too use to how things are in retail but the Horde genuinely feel more antagonistic than a faction just trying to carve out their place in the World.
