I had a really bad Battlegrounds (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/battlegrounds/) run today. About three hours of various Battlegrounds without winning a single one. There are days like this, when I think to myself that the Alliance have it so much better. I mean, it's a miracle on our Battlegroup when the Horde wins Alterac Valley (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/alterac-valley/). On the other hand, I know that in some Battlegroups, the Horde probably lord it over. I have to admit there are days when we go on long winning streaks (except in Alterac...). That said, there's always that speck of envy. Well, in the case of myself and the Alliance, it's less envy than it is consternation.
For the longest time, my wife envied the Alliance for the Sprite Darter Hatchling (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=15067), but that's going to get straightened out (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/09/sprite-darters-and-westfall-chickens-for-the-horde/) soon enough. We also used to whine how the Alliance got the Winterspring Frostsabers (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=13086), while the Horde never quite got the Venomhide Ravasaurs (we still might (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/14/new-mounts-for-horde-fishers-in-3-1/), though!). A lot of little things make us think that Blizzard favors one faction over the other.
This seems to be true of other classes, as well. No matter what happens, for some reason, there's always something that other classes have that the class you play doesn't. I know I'll always whine about a Death Knight's 1 second GCD (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=48265) in PvP. Among other things, I mean. I know how some players cry foul at the bubble (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=642). There's always something. Of course, it's really silly to think that there's any sort of favoritism going on (for the record, I don't think there's any), but we'll always find that the grass is greener on the other side. So, in what aspects of the game do you think the other faction or classes have it easier?http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)Breakfast Topic: The grass is greener (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/17/breakfast-topic-the-grass-is-greener/) originally appeared on WoW Insider (http://www.wowinsider.com) on Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:00:00 EST.
