Alliances have existed before ingame tags and the alliance system itself were around, you do realise this yeah? The benefit is in kingmaking in this event - since alliance ranks would be an utter joke, no more credible than cluster ranks; the planet rank would be the important one to go for. Furthermore theres nothing stopping people from publishing their coord list at the end of the round for unofficial, 'real alliance rankings'
Tools will only help a poor player become better by a limited degree, They are no miracle cure - only a shortcut to make arduous calculations easier.
Again, such complex tools did not exist at one point and people still managed.
People with the time available to lead an alliance are far and few between, let alone the considerations for actually getting a *good* one.
It changes what the alliances are considered to be, and forces people to play with others they quite frankly may despise. This is not a positive or encouraging thing
Tools are relatively nothing. experience, team playing skills and communication are everything. Your idea would not improve any of these qualities so where is the benefit in forcing established alliances to disband? ( not that it would ever succeed, mind you. ) |
Who says the communication would go worse? team playing skills would indd rise to bigger importance, experience... well hopefully that will pass on to the new guys aswell....
and mind you, I played 8 years without tools, but here they seem to be in a higher value
There are plenty of potential players whould could lead/run/guide a group of people... they just need proper enviroment for it.
But I do ofc like the oldschool alliance thinking, shame is, what comes as a bigger issue from your post aswell is that people are lame and hence none of the alliances are actually cool, hence we can get rid of them alltogether.
none really even seporates from the masses, apart from asc.
