Should I leave my alliance?

Hello everyone! I find myself in a situation where I'm currently in an alliance that I have outgrown, but have grown quite attached to. We're down 7 members and have 5 members that are below the minimum requirements for the ally. I honestly feel like it would be best for my progression to leave, but I would feel guilty leaving an already damaged alliance.
I've mostly wanted to move up in hopes of finding more motivation to play, since I've been kinda burned out and tired of the same repetitive stuff for low rewards.
Nobody has really done any recruiting in the ally besides me and we've been falling short of everyone's expectations in AQ and AW for months now. Please help me decide what I should do.

End of the day do what keeps this game fun for you. Just cause you leave an alliance doesn't mean you gotta just stop talking to your friends from there
In Japanese: danshari
In Marvel, like Crossbones quote what WS said: "Please tell Rogers, when you gotta go, you gotta go."
About a week ago, I was an officer in an ally with some friends. It had been the only ally I had ever joined, and it was great. Then, everyone stopped doing AW and AQ and we were down to nine members. I didn’t want to leave, but for the sake of progression and rewards, i had too.
This is your game. And it is great if you find people that play like you and that you can enjoy playing with.
But in the end it is you who has to log in and progress the way you want to.
And most of the times, if you have to ask something, you probably should do it. Because deep down you really want to.
I now see you already decided. But I`ll leave this piece of text here anyway in case you are starting to get doupts.
Finally I couldn’t anymore and instead of changing alliances I stopped playing for a solid 8 months. I waited too long and burnt myself completely out of the games.
What I would do in your shoes if you are loyal as I was when I quit the game that time is recruit to fill the current holes but include yourself in that recruitment. Fill your own hole. Help leave them in the best place you can and communicate with the right timeline so there is no hard feeling. Don’t just dip as that’s really crummy when anyone does it but a long time player feels like a shot in the chest to the remaining morale.
That alliance survived but has to rethink what they wanted and calibrate with what was possible.
Honestly sometimes alliances hold on to expectations they can’t meet anymore while rebuilding or in general some player there cannot attain. If you are a loyal player to alliances you will see this as you grow out of the alliances you are in as your skill grows.
The best thing to do as you outgrow alliances is communicate. A season just started. Like I would tell my kids you started the season finish it. But tell them now this is it. And next offseason you are done. That is the only thing anyone can truly expect. If you really care about the alliance then try to help fill them up and even your one spot before you leave if recruiting is your thing for them. From there they will have to figure it out.
Don’t stay forever though as eventually you will burn out.
Go for an upgraded map and see how you handle it while you have no ties - if you’re able to pull your weight awesome, if not there’s no shame in dropping back down for a little bit.
I think that a lot of players that have aspirations to hit the top end of the game move alliances a lot before they come close to settling. In your first year or so you’ve got to find the balance between shards and rank up materials, and they don’t necessarily come at the right rate for you as a player so it might be worth focussing on AW for a couple of months, then switching back to AQ if you need rank up materials more later. Also you don’t know what your skill level is until you push. My first week of Map 6 was awful, the second was better and now I’m offended if I have to use items. There will be players that just breeze through it from day 1 and some will never get it.
If you intend on eventually completing 6.4 you can’t sit in a map 4 alliance if you’ve got a smaller roster.
It will get you stuff much easier and not that much less.
We make over 20m points and collect around 2,000 glory
It’s so relaxing and stress free.
Oh yeah we finish the map in like 12hrs time so we’re not hanging around waiting for others to complete.
Add Brian Perkins(my leader) in game
It's not too stressful and the rewards are good
2 of us doing all the recruiting to keep the alliance going while the other 5 officers + leader did very little/nothing.
Eventually an argument broke out, we left as we were sick of nonstop recruiting and now the alliance sits with the old leader being the only member who hasn’t logged on since that day.
I don’t regret that decision, I do regret not leaving sooner as it made it incredibly difficult to find time to play the game and progress as dealing with all the leadership duties left no time for the monotonous grinds such as the daily quests and arena.
