I would like to hear from community, what makes you decide to stay or leave an alliance.
Is it consistency in AQ performance (100pc finish without having much trouble)? Is it being in top tier in AW (depending on your level)? or both? Or playing with friends you made here is far more important.
An example, say if you in an ally with some friends and the ally is performing consistently in AQ, but struggling bit in AW. You have a feeling that you and
some of your friends are overgrown for this alliance. But they still insist on staying. What will you do? Does progress means everything or having some friends also makes a difference. So based on this above example would like to hear view from forum.
Sorry in case if this is bit confusing 🤗

I recently left an alliance that had good aq and aw, just because the leader was a tyrannical dictator jerk that would yell at some of our members that were only like 10 years old.
My new alliance does around 30 million aq points a week(that's good for my level) and is OK at AW, but not the best. AW sucks anyways.
Even on days without aq or aw we're chatting to each other and it has especially helped during lockdown
It all depends on what YOUR viewpoint is. There are enough alliances to find what you like, then stay. but I dont see it as AQ or AW or friends. it is the direction of the alliance aligning with what you want. I describe it as 3 factors alliance leadership has to consider:
1) Push in AQ
2) Push in AW
3) Push with friends and accept where you fall
Once alliances start flip flopping, you get some new recruits who have an impression that you are all about war! then you bug them about AQ and they question leaving because they want AW! Or, you push AQ to make a certain rank, someone fails to pull their weight in the alliance and nothing happens, you are giving friends preferential treatment, and people see that and move on. That's not to say you can't push both AQ and AW, but you cant expect someone who hates one to accept both. I try to tell my friends who lead alliances that you need a #1 goal. after that, you can have a #2, but you need to remember it is #2.
Short answer, I prefer AQ #1 and friends #2. But flip-flopping to pander to recruits/new members will push me away quicker, as well as pushing everything at once, and giving friends preferential treatment.
Having a good alliance with good friends and allies who respect one another is good boost too.
This is actually what happened with me and a handful of folks in my first alliance. We outgrew it, wanting more progression. The leader wasn't really leading. We broke off, started our own alliance with a focus on what we wanted and agreed. Took since time to get it filled, but in the end and after almost 4+ years, the core group of us are still together.
But overall, it comes down to what you want out of this game. Once you know, there are many avenues you can go to achieve it.
