Even if you aren’t inactive then you are still bound to get attacked a lot
So sadly it’s basically necessary, also outside of an alliance it will take double the amount of time for half of the result as if you were in an alliance.
Completely agree, and you raised a lot of good questions
However, I don’t think Alex is gonna implement any of this.
Edit: meant to quote @BelgiumFury, but forgot to.
So is your reasoning primarily moral (like it feels scummy) or because it actually is scummy/alliances don’t need that tax? Btw if you feel as though the application process is too long please take that up with me or Jaden.
