Hey guys, what is the Alliance player base like on Icecrown? (several questions)
Hello everyone,
So I am a new player to Warmane entirely, and I decided for the first time ever in my long wow career to roll as a Horde player for once! I was very excited and am still lost to this day as to where things are, it's hilarious! I play an Undead Warlock and I enjoy it very much.... However, some issues have arised that i can no longer ignore, even though I've only been here two weeks, I've played pretty much all day, every day and got a lot of content and gear done.
I can safely say I've explored quite a bit when it comes to the server and it's player base, at least for the Horde. So here goes:
1) It seems impossible to find a guild in the Horde side. Literally every single guild wants some unreachable 6.5k+ score just for admittance and care nothing for your experience as a player... I have been a raider for at least 15 years, but you're telling me, some end game on farm guild won't let new members in unless they are already pretty much done with the game? Do get that gear score they would already be in an eng game on farm guild... so yeah, I don't get it?
2) PUGs demand the same ridiculous scores to enter... how can my lowly 5100 warlock, whom I have genuinely worked my *** off to gear, day after day, ever hope to progress if I need a minimum of 5800 to be allowed into anything? Do these people understand how the game works? People need to do this content to get that gear score before they can get that gear score and do that content, its circular and absurd. Who are you running these PUGs for? Geared endgame players in farming guilds?
3) The PvP is the genuine WORST I've ever seen in my 17 years of playing the game. As an Alliance main, I was extremely used to losing every other game, as the Horde and their busted racials and sweaty player base would just Zug through anything non-premade in an instant, but we did at least win some of the time... This is not the case for the Horde here on Icecrown. All we do is lose, lose lose no matter what hour of the day it is.
Now I get that 99% of the player base here is alliance, trust me, levelling was a nightmare thanks to literally endless nice people camping and farming me since level 30 and every day since when I attempt to make a few coins from dalies... I almost never see a green nameplate anywhere I go, I mean god damn, talk about hilarious, he rolls a Horde for the first time and there's no Horde to play with!
But the point I'm getting to is simple, if we can't do any BG's then there's absolutely zero point in attempting area, right? Like that would be ******ed of me, wouldn't it?

Which brings me to this: How's life on the Alliance in Icecrown? Aside from winning every BG, are there friendly players, non-*****ic pugs and maybe a guild or two willing to recruit people who haven't bought all their gear? I'm really not having any fun here and I'm ready to come home, sorry for rolling Horde, I won't do it again, I swear!

This post was not intended as a venting post or a troll post, but I just can't hide my emotions, it's been effing terrible these last two weeks and I actually hate this place, so please tell me how it is on Alliance in visceral detail so I know what to expect.
Thanks!
