If it's just morally wrong, but not actually against the games rules you cannot require people to abide by it...
(btw... using the term illegal in this case seems exaggerated since it implies doing something wrong that could get you in trouble with the law. Not an appropriate term to use for breaking rules in a game. Just like it's not illegal cheating in monopoly, just against the rules)
It seems like you, and others, who are complaining about shell alliances assume they are doing so with 100% intent to “cheat” the game. First of all, changing alliances is not against the rules. Second, not all donation drops are done via illegal means. I use my alternate account and my wife’s account, for example, to help keep up with my donations. Map 7 is quite costly. Kabam has put some things in place to curb fraudulent donations and that has helped keep things honest. I think if the cost of map 7 was lowered, you would see far fewer shells.
As for war, you have 100% control over your success so stop blaming Kabam! If you have full diversity and you don’t die, you’re very very likely to win. Try that for a change and stop whining about being “cheated” when you get a tough matchup. And for the record, I’m in a gold 1 alliance and we regularly get matched against top 20 rated alliances (shout out to 4Play and Phoenix for some tough tough matchups recently). You’re on a level playing field as they have the same nodes and defenders to work with. If you can’t get by those “shells”, well then my guys, you’re not ready for the master bracket anyway!

Abandon seasons all together and just reward allys on wins and losses. Strip away all the complexity that goes with it.
Problem is if kabam generate more income with seasons in place, regardless of who goes where or what is being manipulated, why would they even think of making a business move which reduces revenue? Bearing in mind that any decision cannot harm the bottom line as they will be made by people acting under the director who MUST act in the best interest of the shareholders, which ultimately to generate as much profit as possible.
Let’s not act like we are dumb, all know why shell alliances exist. U might have a fair use for your shell alliance, but most don’t. It’s a fact, they don’t even lie about it. They admit it in chats and war chat in game
And we are in control and just should not die.. great point.. When u fight top master alliances with full 5/65 sig 200 defenders or better. That isn’t a level playing field. wars like this costs huge amounts of units, loyalty and items, and still u wont win. I never claimed that our alliance deserves to be master. Our alliances deserves a fair chance to fight for our p1/top p2, and fighting the master league alliances is not a matchup. But iteming out in war won’t happen in gold 1 I guess, at least I hope.
So as far as I know. I only stated facts, pointed out unfair advantage of shell alliances and asked Kabam for a response.
Its a forum where all can give their point of view. U seem quite agitated and quite offensive About this subject. Why is that ☺️?
If you assume that spending money to get better reward is considered as cheating then those whales who burn cash every weeks on catalyst deals or cavalier crystals might be considered as cheating as well since they just pay to get thing done. Note: "All the thing that I said isnt referring to sharing account activities."
Thanks for the respons, you only changing what I’m saying a little bit . Changing alliance isn’t cheating. I never said that I never will. The reasons why shell alliances are used, is not according to Terms of Service of Kabam though:
1. Tanking war rating
2. Using donation mercs/Buying cheap gold, battle chips and loyalty
Kabam changed rules to prevent both, shell alliances create a loophole to still use this.
Why our alliance isn’t doing this? Because we all believe in a fair gaming environment without making advantages of loopholes and doing stuff kabam isn’t allowing. We like to play fair .
And no, I did not say spending money is cheating. I also spend and can’t wait for the deals tonight. Buying cheap resources from donation mercs is cheating though. that is why kabam changed rules about this: U cant donate first 7 days after joining an alliance. The shell easily avoids this problem because the alliance won’t play competitively whole season.
I hope I have u context, sorry if u thought I said spending and changing alliances is cheating. I never did .
For me it seemed simpler here in mcoc before the war seasons, and more fun.
The current rules obviously creates loopholes and grey areas that can be taken advantage of. I get that it might be frustrating that some players and alliances do take advantage of that, but it seems very difficult to stop. They would need to somehow make a clear rule against that method, so that it's easier to point out that that behavior is actually against the rules, or make it difficult to benefit from it. As long as the loop hole exists, and it isn't clearly stated that it is against the rules, it can only be frowned upon, but can't really have any consequences... and people are people. If there are ways to exploit a system, someone will always do it. Basically part of human behavior.

Why is kabam so quiet about this? You need to come forward and acknowledge there is a problem here. And also do something about it. War is broken in tier2.
When people use stolen credit cards to buy things at a store would it makes sense to ban the use of all credit cards? No same here.
