Shell alliance exploit in AW

Kabam when will you do something about players making shell alliances to exploit the game and get extra 5* shards? This puts other players at a disadvantage especially with 6* now coming. Please fix it’s very unfair for honest players.

How is that an exploid?
The same way they said it was when people did it to exploit AQ brackets before they changed them
What is dishonest about it? Seriously. They switch alliances just like anyone is allowed to do. We just ran in to an alliance with a rating 5 times our own, we had no prayer, they were probably doing that. Why should I care though? We lost, move on, next war. What would be more unfair is the consequences of putting more restrictions on switching alliances than there already are. There is no reasonable way to combat this without hurting everyone.
We bounce around tier 2-4 honestly wouldn't mind hovering in T4 because of the off balance matchmaking system.
An alliance u have for the purpose of it being a low war rating
Most of the alliance's doing this don't need aq rewards. They have t4cc crystals that they are just hoarding. A lot of the higher alliances don't care about aq bc the rewards aren't as good in their view. What the do care about is 5* shards. This allows them to fight much weaker alliances and ensure they are getting 1500 or so 5* shards a week in war and not having to use units/items in the process. It's great for those alliances but it screws over legitimate alliances wanting to grow.
Agreed!! Really hopes Kabam does something soon about this
Should all be banned.
Nothing bannable about it. Kabam gives basically the same rewards in tier 2 3 and 4 as top 100 minus about 100 shards. But that's only if you win every time. If you spend all that time and effort to beat top 50 alliances, getting shards is much more difficult. I do agree that there needs to be a change in the rewards system though. I've seen wars in top 50 that go down to the wire with multiple items spent, both alliances should get rewarded higher than a tier 4 alliance winning against a 5 mil alliance.
And developers gonna develop? Or not necessarily?
You would only need to get to tier4 twice. Once on the shell alli and once on the original alli. After you reach a higher tier and the other alli drops to t4 you switch again.
It's like any thing in life , always a group of people out there that have no morals and lack respect for other people . Which means they do stuff the easy way or cheat . Just to get ahead . People that don't realize the satisfaction of earning your own stuff, because they have never done anything the right way
Totally agree about this, hope Kabam does something ASAP for these type of people
They aren't losing any money. Aw is a money pit as it is. The best way to remedy the issue for everyone is increase rewards for top 100 alliances. Otherwise this is not an exploit by any means. People are free to leave alliances and go elsewhere as they please.
This is an exploit. If an alliance dislike so much tier 1 or tier 2 lose 5 wars in a row to drop to a level you like.
There is no justification for this dishonest cheating method.
Kabam we need your attention to this matter. @Kabam Miike
This just won't work, these guys aren't going into the shell alliance for a week or 2, there in their for a month sometimes longer until they've milked the lower tiers. There would have to be such a long blackout that'd punish all the regular players way to much.
Also let's put the spotlight on the real problem here, the rewards at the he the top totally suck and there is no incentive for alliances to stay at the top and waste items. Kabam need to seriously overhaul the reward system and actual put some value into your weekly ranking similar to AQ. There's loads Kabam could do with AW such as tournament's etc to incentivise the top alliances but oh no wait there too busy sticking an extra star on the end of your champions to bother with any real content lol
