I started Horde and played for about two months that way. I leveled a couple of toons to the mid 20s-30s. What I experienced was that no one was helpful and everyone was a diq. I rolled a paladin as an alternative to quitting and it was night and day. People were helping me with quests, patiently helping me learn the game. I found an organized guild that taught me how to get to 60 and we ran UBRS everyday (and usually DM afterwards ^^). I have loads of RL friends who play Horde so I go back to try it every now and again but it's usually the same as when I started. I've tried about 5 different servers. My Horde frineds play sporaticallys (all married, working grown-up types) so I have just stuck with Alliance.

There are idiots on the Alliance side, sure, but those are the people I interact with. It's a moot point now since I play All by myself now.
