Interesting...

It is just guessing, but it seems that WoW has slowly converted the outlook of "bad guys". Horde seems to be the choice more and more from just the random interactions I have had over time.

This might be due to the fact that Horde owned the majority of the battlegrounds for so long that they have a perceived advantage in PvP (which was true in many respects) which might make an RvR game one where you want to side with the winners.

Also, the Destruction side of WAR is marketed more heavily, where as WoW it seemed Alliance was the more heavy marketed faction. On the back of the WAR preorder box all the pictures seem to showcase Destruction. And the front graphic and colors also seem to say "Destruction" to me. THEN, WAR has a contest to design your own squig in Creature Creator...

Yea. The more I think on it, the more it seems that staff at Mythic prefers Destruction themselves.

In WoW I went Alliance and since I never felt like grinding up another 70, I stuck there. This time, I think I will pick more wisely and see what (and if) the developers favor. Because, quite frankly, those factions/classes get the most love.
