Alliance auto filled with very new players

My alliance has an average PI of over 2 million ... yet we are being matched with players of 1k PI ... example (not redacted because I ain't accusing them of anything at all)

Within a second of kicking, the place is automatically filled with an equally unmatched player.

Its not a bug, the game just doesn't even really try to match players with an alliance in their bracket when they join a random one.

Send a support ticket too. I did and the reply said it was working as intended!

Just keep kicking the tiny accounts, eventually a higher account will arrive. It’s frustrating, and only happened since the last update.

And yet, it must be selective somehow.
We have open spots, and maybe 2-3 months ago we briefly had the issue of low acct's joining (not quite as low as VERY brand new ones like lately).
And then it stopped.

Even now (still listed as OPEN alliance) we haven’t had ANY of these auto-joining. In fact, it's not giving us ANYBODY (strong or weak) for the past month+.

But I’ve definitely seen MANY other alliance talk about this issue up here this month.

We're about 2.3m Average player rating.

Honestly it seems like they just flag alliances as good to join for a period and then unflag them other times. I tried making my own alliance recently and had nobody join for the first 6 hours, then 15 people joined within two hours, then nobody joined automatically between then and the time the alliance was abandoned. It does come in waves, but it doesn't seem like a bug, just a really weirdly designed system.

Thanks guys

Yeah, I have had this alliance for over 3 years (iirc) ... always had one or two spots a week come free after kicking inactive players, but this is the only time I've ever seen this ... not a huge problem, just a bit annoying... suddenly realising the a noob has taken up a spot in map 6 and died immediately 😆
