Smaller alliances like TGV haven't been playing for as long, or as consistently, as NewDawn and aren't necessarily going to be able to pull in as many members as the biggest tags. You can't apply terms like "honour" to Planetarion, and certainly not in cases like this.

Are you of the opinion that smaller alliances should be prepared to take on larger alliances 1v1? On principle, it is perfectly strategically sound to avoid taking on somebody bigger than yourself by yourself. It is further completely logical to take advantage of situations that are going to potentially reap big yields in both roids and xp from attacking somebody bigger than you when you have greater chance of success (i.e. when other people are hitting them).

The guys at the top rarely get left alone to just do their thing, and the only time people complain about the guys at the top being left alone at the top is when somebody more capable of challenging them (than those complaining) does nothing about it.
