So a lowered tag limit benefits only in attacking - making it far easier to land most alliances, however if that infact make it more fun to play ? Id say only if you are the one doing the attacking :-D
Unless I am wrong and this gangbang on p3n is the rule not the ecxeption is it not the case that usually teams of alliances attack those at the top not those in the middle or bottom? And while a couple of alliances might occasionally target a smaller alliance it is usually for a night or two not a week. Any alliance can survive losing roids over a short period.

More generally a lower tag limit might even favour these medium/small alliances in terms of defence. Remember that on a normal night their incs will be proportionally smaller (just as being targeted by 3 alliances is proportionally exactly the same as being targeted by 3 alliances now). Remember all the complaints about large numbers of naps this round? Well an alliance napped to 3-4 alliances would be napped to considerably less of the universe so there would be less of the objection that those who are not napped (often the smaller alliances) are the ones who then get more incs.
