On the Alliance side, there are still a few narcissists, but the majority of them couldn't throw an insult if it was jet propelled. The worst they can muster is usually 'nub' or 'nab' as opposed to the horde's heavy use of adult profanity, making it stupidly easy to ignore them as opposed to the more "I want a <profanity> argument! You will <profanity> give me a <profanity> argument you <string of profanities>!" approach of horde trouble makers.

Of course, this is just my realm experience and obviously isn't a blanket, but it's why I almost exclusively play Alliance. I pay to play a game for my enjoyment, not to be yelled at by a walking god-complex with anger issues.

The races also have something to do with it. Orcs I prefer killing, Tauren... meh, don't mind them (as a Space Goat, it'd be a bit hypocritical to say i don't play them because they're bi-pedal cows). Undead... like Orcs, i prefer them as dead as possible, Trolls are okay but I still prefer them as living sheaths. Blelves... the females are nice, males i'm not sold on (think Prince Charming from Shrek...).

As for alliance, Gnomes and Dwarves are out for me. Gnomes are annoying. They're the only alliance race I would gladly turn on. Dwarves are spared because they built a forge in a mountain and are smiths, plus they like their drink. Humans are okay. They're at war with the Orcs, and I like war and hate Orcs.

Nelves, again, the males are a bit... iffy. Their death throes are equally strange, far too dramatic. Whilst The females are also quite dramatic (death spin!) the nerd inside me forgives them because they're the WoW of equivilant of a pin-up girl alongside Blelves and Draenei.

Yes, I said Draenei. The males have octupusses on their faces, making them awesome, and the females are... *drool*. Plus being Space Goats from Space earns them cool points too; it isn't every day that you get to be a bi-pedal farm animal with a marine animal on its face that managed to crash a huge intergalactic ship on a small island.

Just a bunch of basement trolls waving their E-Peens around in a "who has less of a life" contest

If you couldn't tell I quit the game because I just didn't see what the appeal was.
Everyone tells me "Raiding is so fun" but every time i watched/listened to my brothers playing i couldn't see how it was different from the rest of the game. Plus all the guild drama I had to listen to made me sick.

Their flavour of the week turned into a full on addiction and they still play it. hearing them talking about gear and specs and pvp is so mind-numbingly homo I'm ashamed to even know what they are talking about. Damn I'm so glad I don't live with them anymore!!
