I can't do it - I just can't play alliance.

Totally agree. I managed to get a Warlock to level 35 (before the levelling nerf) so that I could play with my daughter (she's 9 and has a 49 NE hunter now). My first 5x multibox team was a classic human pally/draenei shaman group that I got to level 23. But absolutely, I couldn't gag to go any further. I'm quite convinced that overall leveling up with questing on Horde is easier than Alliance, especially on a PVP server since you can get into the mid 20s without ever going into contested territory. Unlike Alliance where you're repeatedly ganked in Redridge Mountains.

I really enjoyed getting my 4 draenei shaman + draenei pali to 30. I played alliance for a long time, but the draenei stuff was all new.

However, I was getting unreasonabally irritated at my guilds progression failures because idiots could not understand how to get out of the way of things that would kill them, or who could not figure out that they had a debuff and would blow up other people, so I just quit raiding.

I wanted to do something copletely different on a different server so nobody would call me to come tank for this or that, so I rolled 5 orc shaman on horde side on a server.

I miss having the pali for the buffs and the tanking aspect she brought to the equation. Concecrate, tank and hold agro vs pew pew stoneclaw totem distractions. I have to admit, I am really learning more about shaman abilities not having the pali, but I miss the convenience... and wisdom. I can't stand those gay looking blood elfs, so I can't bring myself to roll a horde pali as much as i'd like one. It just seems so wrong to put one of them with my bad ass looking orcs. As for totems, I always thought the draenei totems looked odd, I guess it fits the whole space age thing, but I like the horde totems because it goes along with .. well, totem poles! it just goes along with the whole southwestern theme they have in those orc, troll, tauren starting areas. Speaking of starting areas, since I've become so anti-social of late, I am loving all these lowbie horde instances. I did RFC, SFK and WC for the first time ever!

Org gets a little laggy when it's busy, but I only go there to do my business, and then its back out to an instance. It's nice the instances are so convienent. The guys are 27 now so I'm farming RFK now for the sheild and axe off Charlga Razorflank

I can't stand those gay looking blood elfs,

Well I'll tell ya I love watching my female blood elf run around. My kids though - "daddy, why do you play a girl?" Frankly, if I've got to sit around and look at a toon's backside for a thousand hours, I'd prefer it to be female. My four other toons are male however, so I get to keep my man card.

Following this idea, I prefer the more shapely draenei ( sans tail ) to the anorexic teenager like look of the belf female models.

[Icetech]

Umm.. i prefer real women and not pixels....

BTW... my orc team has the rockin titties!

and seeing as dreanai women are half squid.... wonder how that shit smells

It is the tail that I am a little freaked about. I'm guessing some people find it erotic. Good eating, though.

That's exactly how I feel, which is why most of my characters are female. Except draenei. For some reason, chicks with hooves don't do it for me. My draenei are usually male, with female humans, elves, and blood elves. Males for just about everything else..

No matter what class no matter what starting area, no matter what, I can't seem to level an alliance character.

I've got a warrior to 22 and that's my highest. Even the lure of getting to 70 and being able to play with friends on the alliance side isn't enough. I just can't get over the urge to kill alliance whenever I see one. (And I don't even play on pvp servers).

Does anyone else encounter this factionitis?

I played on Alliance side for 3 years and I hated alliance for 3 years. Hell I always wanted to kill alliance even w/o being Horde. I finally made the correct choice about 2 months ago and rerolled Horde

i also play female characters - i am a big strong man, half orc half human in real life. when i play a game i prefer to play girls

<< chun-li in SF and ivy in SC for the win !

horde all the way for me, though i don't mind playing alliance. the real dark skinned draenei are real pretty IMO. human female rogues are also nice. but i mainly like my Belf rogue because her stealth animations are just so good. the animations of draenei and belves are a bit more fluid than the Pre-bc races and the fluidity of their animations is pretty important to me.

currently working on getting 3 orbs of deception for my Belf warlock triplets.... then i shall have my draenei warlock mode :}

i just wish Belves could be druids ugh

I started alliance.. my first mmo.. had no idea what racials were/etc.. I've tried a few times rolling a horde team but without the gold/boosting support of my main 70s just can't do it. Have a quiet hope that Bliz would let you create a premade 55 like the DKs in the future, if you have 70 on the account.. I can dream
