Just an observation but, Alliance players appear to LOVE harassing Horde players. For instance I was walking by myself to Taren mill (pvp not on) and 4 flagged alliance players followed me for about 3 full minutes all doing there cute little "/chicken" trying to get me to attack them. This is my 2nd character, a level 22 Paladin mind you. All of them were ?? for me. Granted this may seem small in comparison to other issue's but the point is I dont have pvp for a reason. Why do these people feel the need to harass you? Thats just an example as Ive had many other run ins with immature alliance players. Im sure The horde has there fair share but being Horde I guess I dont see it as much. In discussions with other WOW player, Im apparently not the first to notice............

World of Warcraft have a Teen rating. So Its not the faction Alliance/horde, but the game itself, there is appealling to immature and childish player (Aka the Teen rating). Being a adault and playing a childish game is of cause a question for itself. But naaj thats it not mature if you ask me.
Another solution is to just ignore them. If they start trying to steal your kills in order to provoke you report them. It is a bannable offense to deliberately and repeatedly kill another players mobs.
You'll see this trend happen less and less once you get to a level where those players are no longer ??. If you have a chance to kill them they won't bother you as much. People like that hate fair fights.

So true, it all depends on where your at and what time. I have played both horde and alliance, both pve and pvp servers and it goes both ways.
Sit and look at chat in the barrens one day and tell me its only alliance. As for ganking or being asses that goes both ways as well, hell I was trying to fish and had some ass hat horde player constantly following my bobber and jumping up and down while in pvp mode hoping I would try to click the bobber to catch a fish and actually attack them.. very childish.
Goes with any game you have people that play a game just to piss other people off, for some reason they get off on it. No matter where you go or what you do you will always run into someone that does their best to ruin someone elses gameplay.
The best you can do is just ignore and move on

80 are nothing but targets, 9 are the real fighters.
Ah, but one, ONE of them is a warrior,

I can only say what others before me have said already: Both sides have their childish moments. But in general (Not only in PvP, but also in PvE aspects like instancing), I find the Horde has a bit more mature playerbase. Offcourse, this is on the server(s) I play on, by my own experience.
In World of Warcraft, "ignore" is your best friend.
I dont remember the name of my server, but it was a pvp server, and i played alliance. After a few weeks in game i had developed a greater hate to my allies than my enemies lol.
Depends on the server, but if I had to guess.. it would be that the Alliance are all generally >12.
As far as I can see:
Alliance has more people below 15 so expect more immaturity
Horde has more teenagers and young adults from 15-25. So expect more competitveness, testosterone etc.
And alliance has more people aged 25+, so if you are selective about who you adventure with, expect the strongest groups.
So with alliance you will see more of the extremes in behaviour.

I am also a horde player, on server Stormrage, are server is over populated with ally, its 4 ally for every horde. But we still dominate the BG's to be honest ally has too be kids or they just plainly suck. And Yes i do think ally are much more childish.
Horde are just as bad for killing on pvp servers, i remember being corpse camped at lvl 12 or so by a lvl 40 tauren warrior for at least 20mins hence why i decided on a pve server . But i have to admit, with me playing on alliance side 75% of the player base are idiots, where as the horde side is typically less but that could be because theres about 5 alliance for every 1 horde.
And those people who say alliance are all kids, just don't since to be honest the majority are but there are people who arnt.
Take a survey..I think you'll be surprised how many teens choose Horde over Alliance....
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
