What they don't realize is how many top players have basically retired because they can't do map 6 with 1 hour timer burden and don't want to share their login.
So they go to relaxed alliances and dominate AW outside of tier 1-2 because they don't belong in those lower tiers.
Even 45 min AQ timers would bring them back.
Yet another " I know loads of top players and/or allys that have quit because of this" BS!
Or I'm speaking about myself and others after spending significant time in a top 5-10 AQ alliance.
Lol @ your assumption though.
How many t4cc crystals do u have unopened currently? How many 5* champs are you needing to rank up to r5 but lack the t4ccs to do it. The people I know that aren't worrying about aq after spending time in top alliances aren't doing it bc they don't see the value in aq rewards this season. They don't like 1 hour timers and map 6 time constraints, sure. But it's been more of a "it's not worth my time for these rewards" as opposed to just "I hate 1 hour timers so I'm not doing it." I have to believe if kabam was giving out t2a frags for top aq scores, you would be in a top alliance running map 6.
I haven't earned a t4c crystal from AQ since the final week of last season, and I still can't even open a t4c shard crystal because I'll have t4c going to the overflow stash.
Believe me, the timers are a nuisance at that level, hence the massive amount of account piloting that occurs. For me personally, yea, I made the choice that worked best for me and left. Others left as well. Others stay and find other ways to deal with the timers.
If Kabam wants the map to be difficult, make it more difficult. Difficulty shouldn't be determined by how much of an impediment an energy timer is on your life. There's no management and strategy lost by having 45 min timers on a map. It's still the same old "do your path and don't be the reason we don't 100% it." That is literally top 10 alliance AQ strategy in a nutshell.

But that is what I was saying, at least I think. You don't view the rewards you could get from running map 5/6 on top alliance as worth it so u left. You literally have zero need for those rewards. And as a result, why waste your units fighting it out in tier 1 wars when u can just go to lower tiers since u do t care about aq rewards anyway. I have a big problem with the aw shell game going on right now, but a big reason it exists is the lack of value in aq rewards too alliances see. What they want are 5* shards and really could care less about adding a 30th t4cc crystal to their account bc they can't open any anyway.

You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't leave a top 10 AQ alliance bc I don't care about t4c. I can't do 1 hour timers on map 6. I'm needed for map 6 because map 6 needs all 10. Therefore I can't be in an alliance that runs map 6. Simple.
Therefore i went solo for a while before joining a different alliance that doesn't run map 6. It's also in tier 1 with a 2k+ war rating... so where's the shell game? As clarified, I never said AW had any factor in why I left a top 10 AQ alliance. I'm just saying that wars are easier even though I'm still in tier 1 because I'm not in as advanced of an alliance. The competition isn't as fierce. So speaking for myself, Kabam's 1 hour map 6 timers are 100% of the reason why I'm having an easy time taking AW shards from alliances that otherwise could win them.

I'm not going to purposely deprive myself of sleep and put my job and life in danger, so no, I wouldn't.
Unless you expect me to break the rules and ask someone to use my account for me? I play by the rules.. so not interested.
