I disagree with this, this would make it very hard to grow anyone outside of top 30 (TCW, WTF, ODN, TRF, Guardian, ect) as it would make their sole form of growth being poaching. {Yes I realize TCW is not normally outside of top 30, but it would push out things like BoC or Camelot} finally everyone alliance is small at some point, if you can't recruit without being in top 30 you won't ever make it to top 30, it would just solidify the stronger alliances and make new growth much more difficult.
