NO i dont think so to a degree - most of the smaller tags atm (the 40-30 man ones) are made up 20 ish core players and 10-20 recruits every round. The players who cant get in the more established tags will just filter down into these i think. It will give a tier system still with 2-3 tags with the highest activity but the number of allainces pushing for the top 10 rankings will increase drastically. And the attacking ability of the considered lesser alliances will be increased cos of the defpool decrease of the top allies.

At the moment its hard to hit allies such as ND cos of the def pool they can draw def from - if you only had 40 guys then you would have a leveler attacking and defensive field
