As Sovereign predicted I would it does hinder the smaller alliances more than it helps. The game encourages people now to attack harder targets but still players pick on alliances and players considered a 'soft touch' while leaving the 'tougher' but better targets alone. If you force the display of the alliance you are instantly labelling all the unaligned and smaller alliances as free roids which isnt good for the games attempt to appeal to more people. No matter what some people may try and claim constant over the top bashing does drive players away and enough of this happens now without making it easier for everyone to identify these easy targets
