Life as alliance:
quest quest quest quest quest... bam bam bam.... You go to westeros and you pull off like 8 quests simultaneously... you're never gonna get ganked because there's a zillion of you wherever you are.
You level up in no time flat... There's always a raid forming to hit the crossroads...
Life as horde:
You spend countless mind numbing hours running back and forth over the entire length of the barrens until your head hurts, your fingers hurt, and you feel ready to puke.
You level up impossibly slowly, and you are CONSTANTLY getting ganked by herds of level 30-35 Paladins, and NE Hunters.
It's a pretty solid imbalance there... think of it like a sliding scale from
Easiest most rewarding : Human Paladin
to
Hardest least rewarding: Troll Priest
Most worthless: Warlock
It's true about paladins, it's severe easy mode. I fought in the 30-39BGs a 32 pally. On my 38 at the time mage, I was about to land the killing blow as he chased me around. He bubbles up and heals to near full. So we run around again, and as I'm about to put on the killing blow again, he uses lay on hands on himself to heal to near full again... So for a third round I have to pound on him again to kill him.
Plate + Immunity shields +heals = PITMFA to kill
The only thing you can do is move out of their hammer of justice range, and bandage up to stay in the game. I find more fun in dropping people with (unbuffed) nearly 700 damage frostbolt crits at level 39 though. Still think I can break 1k crit if I nab a beserker buff. :evil:
As for the Trolls without a home city, Gnomes are the same way. They occupy a small corner of Ironforge...

Having played both horde and alliance and rocking 3 x 60's, I have to say, besides the early game running for the horde, there is no noticable difference. Also raiding on both sides, yes they are different experiences, but i find no one side more prepared OVERALL then the other side. and btw, pally's may be hard as hell to kill, but they level soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow.
Well once you reach the end game things kind of level out.... but thats when you find out how useless the Warlock is, and you still have issues with the numbers of Alliance vs Horde.
For most people though the majority of the game is actually getting to 60... and all that time you feel the difference between the two...

Hmm ..... That is slightly amusing, however, it's pretty stupid at the same time.
Paladins ... worst DPS in the game, most boring class to play. Yes it's easy, but it takes a LONG time to get to 60. For PVE, Paladins do make PVE encounters easier for alliance then horde due to BoW and BoS being more raid friendly and usefull for raids then totems.
Warlocks ... One of the strongest solo classes in the game. Just last night after killing Nef on my main, I logged onto my lock to grind a bit. He was level 50 and I was killing camps of level 52 to 54 Demons in Felwood. I could take out 2 or 3 of them at once. I wound up getting 25K xp per hour (unrested) and 0 deaths with no help outside of consumables and having semi decent gear (and a good grinding build.) My lock is now level 51. Also, in the BGs, at level 49, Assuming at least 1/2 full mana and at least 2/3 full health, I could easily hold my ground against any other toon and usually groups of 2 toons. (though kidney shot rogues can give me trouble if they kill my succy before they attack me.)
Now I will say that for PVE, Alliance has an easier time with many bosses due to Fear ward (though Horde has undead which has WotF, which IMO is better then fear ward.) Alliance definatly has an easier time with pallies vs shammies (better mana efficiency for heals, blessings > totems for raiding.) Shammies do have the self rez option which can be nice (better then DI and doesn't waste a lock SS.) Shammies are generally better for PVP as well. They dish out a lot more damage and totems can be really usefull in PVP.
I tend to think more along the end game / raider point of view. Levels 1 through 30, the paladin DPS is not too bad, and warlocks are a bit slowwer at first. But when you start getting closer to end game , Warlocks are just so awesome to play where as paladins are extremely boring to play IMO.

He won that battle but it took him 3 tries to kill a 32 pally with a 38 mage. That's really unbalanced.

Bah, for pve, damn classes with pets or minions = easiest.
Why is troll hard ? Someone mentioned gnome also without a home city... (I'm a gnome)... but how's that affect anything ?
<-- n00b about to hit 60.
BTW, there's a lot of what sounds like b!tching from horde to me... why do they purposely make it hard for themselves if they are the b!tching type ? What they say about the ratio of alliance:horde is true... but ultimately they choose themself. I mean it's like buying an SUV and saying BUT IT EATS SO MUCH GAS, HAVE SYMPATHY FOR ME.
