Kicked out of an alliance for nothing

I was kicked out of an alliance for nothing. I was trying to enter alliance fights or wars and could never get in one. Then all of a sudden I get an email stating I was kicked out. No biggie really I've since joined another one and am quite happy there. But it irratated me that I could just be kicked out like that.

Very rare you just get booted for "Nothing"
Oh, so you know all alliances, uh?! Cool...
I would not be surprised if you were removed to make room for someone with a higher prestige and/or overall rating. You can also get kicked out to make room for someone's friend or even a merger with another alliance. Or they didn't want a "newbie" and wanted a "veteran" instead. Players get kicked out because you didn't chat enough and thus, an officer got his feelings hurt. Others get kicked out because they chatted too much. Players get kicked out because they didn't move in AQ/AW in the middle of the night (i.e. 2 AM) when they were told to do so while they were sleeping by an officer on a power trip.
This is in addition to the reasons noted in earlier posts above.
I've also seen players get kicked out due to a rogue officer -- an enemy player that infiltrated the alliance.
With the exception of a rogue officer creating havoc, it is better to go to another alliance that wants you than stay in an alliance that only considers you as "filler" until someone better comes along. You certainly don't want to stay too long in an alliance where one or more officers are, how shall I put it nicely, "bossy".
It's frustrating for both sides and the only thing that helps is that you have to communicate with your alliance in a proper way!
There's many reasons from overall performance to just making room for someone who can do better but kicking without at least a discussion says a lot about an alliance.
-No line
-Low rating
-Inactive
-Low points in alliance events and AW and AQ
-Lack of skill
-Officer/Leader being an @sshole and kick you out for fun
No line
No communication
Ignoring orders
Missing min requirements
Being rude to members or officers
Getting too big for their boots
Being purely useless in AQ and War
We always tell a member that they are getting kicked and we will ask a few times if they slip up but if they give a lame excuse and/or carry on like this they will go no warning. Also unless its a peaceful “retirement" they go without rewards of the current events. We are firm but get stuff done.
As an officer myself I sometimes get people messaging after a kick saying they did nothing wrong.
Then I remind them that they frequently join AW/AQ 14 hours in (when others in their timezone join 7ish hours in).
Some simply never checked line, so they don't actually see the reason for them being kicked until they load up line to rant at one of us because they supposedly did nothing wrong.
Some are simply removed because they can't handle 2+ fights in AQ.
But more often than not, there's always a reason.
there is always a reason but as an officer myself if someone is inactive for quite some time i dont have to talk to them before i kick them. if they dont help in aq or aw i dont have to talk to them first..... u r in an alliance you need to play and do aq and aw......
if it is because someone makes mistakes then yes of course talk to them first....
What do you mean by that?
It all depends on who is available, and how I have to balance them. I allow many Levels of Players into my Ally, so I have to make sure there's not an abundance of newer, weaker guys because I have to Node them up. The main reason is following instructions and team work. War is different because it's Tiered, and a Loss can bring you down. I need to know my guys follow instructions. I've had Wars where everyone lost over one false move. (Sometimes by 800 Points.). It's balancing and team work mainly. Yes the goal is to have set Groups. Once people understand more about the process. I changed how I game a long time ago. I was in a cut-throat, and it ruined the experience for me. Don't compete with family! So, I started helping others and it put the enjoyment back into the game for me. I take on any Level of Player as long as they're willing to grow.
Well, not so much that they give me ****. Just that they put up what they have. I can take on a couple lower-end Players if I use the tougher ones to boost them. The ratio has to be more tougher than lower. So I try to rotate them in so that they get included. The problem is when people get anxious for Rewards and jump in, and it throws the whole plan off-balance.
Was it an open alliance? or were you INVITED to join, then kicked without reason.
The key to ANY alliance is communication, and if they invited you and then kicked you without notice, then I would agree with those who say...glad you found out about them so soon, and were able to move on.
But, keep this in mind. BE SURE YOU COMMUNICATE in your current alliance.
If an officer is upset with you, and you are in constant communication, you will know it, and have opportunity to change the way you play, or decide to leave on your own.
In any case, sorry that happened to you.
Good luck in season 4.

I bet your officers can be rude to members though or something daft like that, and getting too big for their boots? That's a good thing, show they want to progress and want a challenge.
Kicking for those reasons is pathetic

Hierarchy exists for a reason. My officers are not allowed to be rude. If they are they get demoted or even kicked but we have had players think that because they have a high rating they can take control of the alliance. Nope, we accept input in fact we encourage constructive criticism but countermanding those IN CHARGE is a big NO. There is pride in an account and then there is bragging.
I am NOT saying grinding isn't allowed but alliance events come first. A lot of the comments on here about officers being rude are misinformed not all leaders are like that but in this game you get what you out in. You can't leach and claim rewards and not pull your weight. Just today we kicked someone who planned to leave but didn't join aq and was expecting to stay for rewards.
