Is horde seriously over-rated?

Geez, whenever I try to make a post about the Alliance, no matter what thread its in, some Horde lover has to come and argue with me, even if I hadn't argued with them before, or even made a post that could turn into an argument. And it all hinges on somebodies personal opinion about the Horde being better than the Alliance.
Heh aye, I know that pain Funden.
Maybe due to the fact how most alliance fans want to generalize the horde as savage brutes and how only the alliance are the good guys in this. See, one does like to generalize, regardless of what side your playing.
And how most Horde generalize the Alliance as holier than thou, egotistical, white knights who want the holy goodness to prevail over anything else.
You see Tauren, your problem is that you think:
A. Only the Alliance generalizes
B. Only the Horde has mistakes that they have fixed
C. Only the Horde is diverse
D. Only the Horde has interesting backlore
E. Only the Alliance are racist
F. Only the Horde's backstory can be counted
G. Only the Horde has honor
H. Only the Horde has any cool races
I could go on.

Meh, this won't go anywhere; Tauren is firm in his belief that he knows more about all Alliance players then we know about ourselves.

Actully I'm a firm believer in not accepting interpretations by alliance fans as to what my faction is about. Much like how the origanal op was interpretating his stance on playing the horde based purely on his own server.

So... my interpretation means nothing since I am Alliance... even though I play Horde characters as well?

Pretty much, which is why I more or less gave up on the thread heh.

Thing is: Both the Horde and Alliance are relatively even when it comes to good and bad (at least up until WotLK, when a whole !@#$load of bad got dumped on the Horde for some reason). People choose between them based on personal preference. Some people choose only to see their own side, and rip on the other any time the other comes up.
Some of these people are Alliance (in fact, most of the ones I know of personally are Alliance, since the Horde is a pretty big target for ripping on), and some of them are Horde.
But really, you shouldn't fight with someone just because they prefer something that you don't. I like Butter Pecan ice cream. If someone else likes Pistachio, I shouldn't start a fight about how Butter Pecan is the best and Pistachio is evil.

Well, yeah Skee mate true, but unlike Butter Pecan and Pistachio, one isn't ripping butter pecan's morals apart or thinking up reasons to belittle the 2 flavours.

And neither are we.

Yeesh. Both factions have their strengths and their weaknesses. Can't we just leave it at that
even if I
still
have the horrible nagging suspicion that Warchief Squeal is going to destabilize the
hell
out of the Horde
?

(why is this even in the lore and roleplay forums? :P)
Well, it started off in WoW General, if I'm not mistaken. Then we got to talking about lore, hence it was moved here.
