I have played WoW since early vanilla... My comment will make me the target for rage, but it is my opinion whether it is accepted, agreed with, or raged at... This competition for making these bikes was truly capturing of the Horde! The Horde has never had it as easy as the Alliance. The Horde team did fabricate a better looking product with 1 man shy. They overcame a challenge, and it was amazing! I have mostly Horde and a couple Alliance. I will say that the Alliance bike is nice and and shiny... The Horde bike seriously captures the essence of the Horde in my opinion. However, regardless of the voting I feel that BOTH should get in. Or at least make the other bike obtainable! To say one faction does NOT get their bike in game? That will cause serious friction! All these tactics being used to lure people back, and then to do something that brazenly stupid? You may get a few back, but you will only push the hardcore and faithful further away.
No raging here Andrew. I think the Horde bike looked amazing. I agree that they captured the essence of the Horde. The Alliance big looked like a compressed slug or bug. And I play Alliance. We all knew the Horde would win regardless, they've always been favoured by Blizzard. Surprised Metzen was even on the Alliance team, unless he was there to sabotage it, lol. I actually thought Blizzard would just announce a tie vote and put both bikes in the game, because you know what will happen now... people will whine and cry until it's done. I agree that both should just be put in the game for two reasons: 1) To stop any foreseeable whining... 2) Because they've spent so much time on these bikes. I don't even see this as a tactic to lure people back, I see it as a time filler to give people something to do whilst waiting on the next expansion pack. Though, you could be right. Any way, no hate or rage here mate. After seeing the Alliance bike, and not liking it at all... I decided to do up something a little more worthy of the Alliance: i.imgur.com/zkpNd2S.png Thanks for your comment Andrew!
