Both US and EU world firsts are horde eh? Not surprising.
I think it's safe to assume that these people were way above 340 iLVL before the Warfront battle even released, so I doubt that it helped them get anything. But we can keep dreaming that somehow hardcore raiders are benefiting from the free gear boost of having Warfront battle available to them and Horde favoritism la la la.
The reason people are mad is cause they can't easily gear up their alts. It has nothing to do with complaints about the Warfront giving an edge to a faction in raiding scene. Any raiding guild that was being serious was already geared for the content and Warfront did almost nothing to them. I'm not even trying to raid on my main character and both of my 120s were above or close to 340 iLVL by the time Warfronts were available for the Horde.
Horde guilds are dominating PvE for years. And some people thinks horde got benefit of mediocre 340 gears from warfront which pushed them ahead of the alliance who actually loves to RP in real life and in game. Calm down peeps, it has nothing to do with horde favoritism, it was a designing flaw. Lore-wise alliance had to be the defender since the horde lost Undercity thus losing major power from the region. I'd say, horde had to spend much wealth and time for contribution while the alliance had free access of elites in Arathi. Wasn't that alliance favoritism? I don't understand why the alliance player base always have something to complain. If it was actual complain then i'd understand but most of the time these kind of complains are nothing but total crap:TBC: Why horde got Blood elves? They belongs to the alliance, it makes no sense. Its Horde favoritismWrath: Horde is evil, they killed everyone in wrathgate but why they're still here? why we didn't destroyed Undercity? Its Horde favoritism.Cata: Why Thrall is suddenly leading everything? Why Garrosh is kicking our butt ruthlessly? Horde Favoritism.MoP: Horde is evil, they killed everyone in theramore but why they are still alive? we should kill them all. Its Horde favoritism. (multiplied after SoO)WoD: Why we're going back in history to face bunch of savage orcs? Why we're working with the horde? its Horde Favoritism.Legion: Horde left us to die alone, their evil warchief wants nothing but immortality but they're morally grey? Its horde FavoritismBFA: Sylvanas should be a raid boss, why Saurfang is not horde's warchief? Horde went ahead with warfront's free loot. Its Horde favoritism.All time complain: Horde have better pve racial and blood elves that's why they are better in raids. Horde gets everything they want, Blood Elves, Upright orcs, Nightbornes, Maghari orcs. And we got recolored Blood Elves, Draenei and Dwarves (like horde ones aint recolored right?). Its nothing but horde favoritism.If I gets a dollar for each time I've heard "horde favoritism", then my net wealth could reach Warren Buffet's level by now.
How can you compare the thresholds of occurrence of warfronts and m+ on demand to the skills of the player.Warfront - 320ilvl and go farm forest.M+ - min 335ilvl in lfg and must have skill and tactics.
