You can look at ROCK R50, being the most offensive alliance, most likely due to the war with #1 alliance for big parts of the round.
Newbiebashing is boring and it does not do much for people that prefer wartarion.

a) People prefer a well organised alliance, that fufils the standards and practices it sets and does the best for its members. Flaky HC teams, TP that floats about by 3 hrs every night (8pm one night and 10:40pm the next and then 9pm the third for example), lack of communication, when communication contradicts itself, lack of knowledge (wether it be actual playing knowledge, stat knowledge or irc/bot knowledge). All these things breed inactivity because people wont bother wasting their time on a 'shambles'.
BIG FAT attacks are actually not necessary to have a productive and active alliance, you just need attacks that are in line with the curve of the active playerbase (top 500 planets) so if the average pleyer is on 500 roids then BC's should be looking for 400+ roids on MOST of the planets picked to attack.
b) ROCK Rd 50 was the round they took in all the Brazilians yeah? You know, the guys that went Xan and then 3 fleet attacked every day for a whole round, probably account for a large part of their 'attacking prowess' rather than their actual activity and happiness. ROCK got twatted to the ground once it got into a war properly tho yeah?
c) Newbiebashing can be productive in the early parts of the round, starting with a few XP lands and then using the dead planets to keep your roids inline with the top planets and set you up to do well.
