Not satisfactory reward upgrade for gold and below alliance.

It seems that the KABAM wants to make the top alliances happy and updated the rewards accordingly.
There is no increase in 6 or 5 crystal sherds for Gold Ally.
Alliance rewards are focused on Top alliances not for Gold or below alliances

It's a simple fact that a certain (large) percentage of the alliances will be in gold tiers. If more alliances start taking the wars seriously, the percentage of alliances in gold stay the same. I think more alliances 'put in the work' then you realize. My own alliance puts in a lot of effort and at this moment, it's really not worth it. Maybe we should at least have the feeling it's worth it.
Lastly, currently the difficulty of gold at this point is heavily influenced by prestige, so you can have had a very different experience in Gold depending on prestige
It's pretty easy to finish in Gold 1 without having to use any items
So theyre going to cater to them because Kabam would go bankrupt if they catered to casual and/or free-to-play players. It's sad but it's reality.
They CAN even the playing field and only have cosmetic upgrades for sale, but are you really paying really money for a profile pic? They could also make AW easier to compete in for freel-to-play, but that would make spending useless. Therefore, no money...no budget...no game.
What I keep seeing is players who succeeded to climb the ranks, like you, find that everyone they surpassed is not deserving of anything extra. First off, I'm happy you have a good alliance with probably 30 active players who want to play each war, cause this is not a given for anyone. It's already a struggle to maintain 30 dedicated players who are also more or less on the same level.
Secondly, I am not saying that gold deserves to make as much as Platinum, I feel platinum 4 should be buffed a lot more as well. But these changes were made because Kabam felt that their players did not find the rewards worthwhile. They made a statement saying that they were gonna change it. By only changing the rewards for the top 800 (and let's face it, platinum 4 isn't buffed that much either so its more like the top 300) they are just catering this game mode to a very small percentage of their game base and not making it any more interesting for the majority of players.
You can also check the scoreboards, gold 1 are the alliances between 800-1500. I really don't think that Kabam was just addressing a few thousands of their millions of players when they said that we as a player base felt that war wasn't worth it any more.
And no one is saying to give crazy amounts of shards.. Gold 3 gets 3k 5 star shards..at the end of the season, lasting a month..However easy you think gold 3 is, that is just not worth anyone's time. Gold 2 gets 6k and 1k 6* shards, wich also isn't that useful. Gold 1 gets 8k and 2.5.. I'm not suggesting we suddenly get insane amounts, but increasing it a little is not a big ask right?
If you really feel like al rewards for all alliances who play in the top 800 should be increased but the one below shouldn't, I guess I'm not gonna convince you otherwise. But it's really a pitty that a community doesn't emphasize more with each other, particularly the top towards the one below them. I honestly would be happy for everyone to get better rewards.
I'm well aware that there are alliances out there fighting tactics in gold 1 like mine which has dropped down there last season. There just needs to be a system in place for these type of alliances to get similar rewards to plat 4 while still seperating them from the rest of non tier 5 alliances in gold 1.
What is the incentive for us as Gold-ranked alliance to play? To get our players locked? To deal with **** nodes? Nothing! But honestly, Kabam wouldn't give a rats ass.
