Alliance wars - matching manipulation

[zephyr1]

@Olmor There’s a thread based on that same premise: War matchmaking manipulation

But it concludes that if you leave the alliance before matchmaking, you can’t participate in the War:

@LadySuzanne

If a player joins an alliance after matchmaking has started, the player will be put in spectator mode for the war. No team will be placed on the battlefield for them.

@LadySuzanne

The players are ‘locked’ when matchmaking STARTS.

@LadySuzanne

Any player who leave or remove the participation check outside of the matching, prep or actual war will not be on the battlefield and, therefore, will not be able to play in the wars.

@CrymsonX

When you see the message “war begins soon” you would also see your opponent alliance at that time. Then 24 hours later, war begins.

Players are locked in when that message appears. Meaning that anyone joining an alliance (or opting in to war) after that point will be spectating, which won’t help their alliance. Anyone leaving or opting out will not help either.
