Phew, don’t mind the topic juggling!
I really do appreciate your guys’ feedback, it’s just tough wrangling it coming in from different directions. Focused conversations help a ton because they translate better into #roadmap items. Thanks for your patience as we get organized.
Speaking of the roadmap, I’d like to also remind everybody that Official Alliances will eventually formalize UAs. UAs will still be allowed, but probably not preferable to a real alliance. This change in player grouping will be something we can design around and rebalance against.
@Zanharim, rest assured I’m aware of the criticism you mentioned. The idea is to fix “the new norm” you described by addressing the underlying issues we discuss here, as forbidding UA isn’t a real (or scalable) solution.
