All Alliance crimes are forgotten or whitewashed.
I know crying "Alliance Bias" or "Horde Bias" has become a meme but I'm dead serious when say there is some serious bias in the writing.Horrendous treatment of Orc prisoners after the Second War?Everyone forgets about it after Burning Crusade.EDIT: Okay there seems to be a lot of Alliance missing the point on this. Just because you nobly spared the Orcs doesn't make it suddenly okay to have such cruelty in your internment camps. And that's not an exaggeration. Many Orcs have stories of guards giving brutal beatings to children just for laughs and mass hangings over minor offenses.Dwarves in Bael Modan murder the enitre Stonespire Tribe of Tauren leaving only three two survivors?Gets a single quest referencing it in Vanilla and Cataclysm and is forgotten about.Night Elves sabotaging sanctums in Eversong Woods that the Blood Elves needed to sate their mana addiction?Never referenced again.Varian in Undercity declaring that he wants to kill all Orcs?He says he never said anything like that in War Crimes and no one present says otherwise. Not even the people who were in Undercity when he said it.Night Elves deliberately starving Horde civilians in the peacetime before the Cataclysm?Never brought up again.Waiting for the hunters to leave Taurajo to make sure the only people present are defenseless civilians when the firebomb the place burning the civilians alive?It's all okay because the General who ordered it was a nice guy who left an opening to let them escape. Despite the fact that most didn't and the ones who did were forced to escape through a camp of Quilboar who were more than happy to murder defenseless Tauren.Oh and it's a "strategic target" which means you aren't allowed to counterattack according to Baine because Cairne dropped him on his head as a baby or something.Oh and bonus points for the fact that General Hawthorne's peers criticized him for not taking said civilians as hostages.If Taurajo was a strategic target does that make Southshore okay?No that's still an atrocity because the blight is worse than fire for vague and inconsistent reasons.Greymane and Sky Admiral Rogers attacking the Forsaken Fleet unprovoked.Anduin mentions that he wagged his finger at Greymane so it's all forgiven.EDIT:Alliance attacks and shipwrecks neutral Goblins and tries to imprison them because they just so happened to see them capture Thrall while he was en route to the Maelstrom to save the world just because Varian wanted to parade him around Stormwind as a trophy.Never brought up again. Not even by Thrall.Stormpike trying to drive out the Frostwolf Orcs from Alterac Valley because excavations and real-estate?Not a problem anymore, in fact Drek'thar no longer approves of war with the Alliance because people die in war and that makes him mad.Void Elves literally fight by sucking people into the Void to be tormented for eternity?"Your people are a credit to the Alliance!" -Halford WyrmbaneAnything Horde players could use as motivation to fight is always yanked away by Blizzard for reasons I do not understand at all.
