The ganking is fairly expected, but Ysera is not pvp, so the problem wasn't getting attacked, it was dealing with the players stupidity and generally ignorant remarks that got on my nerves while trying out the alliance side.
As to the reason I picked Dranei while trying out alliance is I like their back story.
They are also a kind group like the Taurens. They're what's left of a race that was corrupted by the Burning Legion. When the rest of their kind would not listen to reason about what the Legion's offer would do to them, They exiled themselves, knowingly consigning themselves to an eternity of being hunted unless they manage to defeat the Burning Legion.
The main reason in my mind though that they should be on the Horde side, is with the rightous exile thing, they would feel guilty as a people for dragging the Orcs into their conflict. The Orcs were minding there business with there Shamanistic culture when the Burning Legion comes. Kiljaden tired of losing because all he would do is frontal assaults, corrupts the orcs to his will and manages to use them against the Dranei.

Thats why I said they were the stupidest retcon ever.
No mention of them is ever made until BC, yet they apparently cohabitated with the orcs, even when the dark portal was opened?
No mention at all?
Fuck, not even a mention of the Broken?
You also must be thinking of Archimonde about the frontal attacks thing, because KJ is specifically noted for being a fucking clever guy. Thats why, ya know, he DID the whole corrupting the orcs thing.
The Draenai just don't make any sense to me... what with their whole use of spaceships and supposed 'most powerful magic users in the goddamn universe' (direct lore statement about the Eredar)... I mean, you'd think that maybe the Night Elves, who overuse of arcane magic attracted Sargeras from across the damn universe, or the blue dragons, who were the manifested guardians of magic as declared by a fucking Titan, would have that title...
But no, Eredar got retconned into that, and Draenai were the good remnants of them.
