the only time alliance was cheap and/or assholes was the hilarious gag known as serenity now's funeral bash.

^^link to it if you don't know what happened, i sugest you watch even if you don't play wow, cause it's so funny.
the basic storyline is a player (horde) died and since she played so much and even had a favorite spot to hang out on the map (in azshara), they help an in-game funeral. during which, every horde who knew her lined up as another person on her character walked down and everyone said their final goodbyes. and the amazing guild, serenity now came charging through, and killed all (im gonna say 40) horde with no friendly deaths.
its great.
