I do not want to use this to Air Dirty laundry or attack anyone in particular. But I feel I need to say this as a constructive lesson for alliance recruiters, members, and to people seeking to join alliances. I have already moved on and found an alliance I am happy with. This is NOT about them.
There are some Alliances that have a goal of getting the highest PAX counts so that their members can get good bonuses or S3 Airplanes with exclusive mapped destinations. Often, the members may be advanced players with facilities upgraded to the Maximum so coin may not be as important to them as PAX counts. Thus, they value the PAX counts over the 50% Alliance bonus that gives more coin per flight. I still trade gifts with a few of these people and am more than happy to work with them and provide some types of assistances to them.
The problem comes in when such alliances start recruiting people in a different situation That situation is one I am in. I may have a medium to somewhat high PAX count, but I value task completion because I depend upon the 50% bonus for alliance missions because I have NOT yet upgraded all of the facilities that I want to upgrade. This is in spite of the fact that I am at level 80
If you are recruiting, please respect the potential recruits wishes when they say that they value such and such. Do NOT fool yourself into thinking that you can smooth talk or tell a person that they should want this other thing or think that can get away with saying one thing to the person and then have something that is totally different. It is a WRONG I call bait and switch. You may fool yourself or justify in your mind what you are doing, but you also have to understand what you do may have it's cost to yourself and the player. Your idea if help may actually wind up hurting or aggravating a situation that you don't understand.
Likewise, a player that depends upon the fifty person bonus should not allow a TOP20 alliance member to recruit them when the alliance does not have that Task Completion as a core value. You have to say NO even if the recruiters tries to sweet talk or convince you that you should want what they want. That is a mistake I regret.
And to the person that tried to recruit me in this entire mess, I have NO intention of contacting you, do NOT contact me again. I already blocked you. Please keep your mouth shut and take a good hard look in the mirror, and ask yourself if you really know aht you are doing and the consequences for others.
