so i had a discussion in my alliance regarding the possibilities of getting new members to join.
the idea i brought forward is basically about a recruiter of my alliance joining small alliances and making them an offer to join us or our wing. saying this i would never try to only get a few (good) members of an allianace but always make an effort to get the full alliance to join us
i then pretty fast got a response , that this is not allowed and can even lead to a ban, which i can partly understand as it protects small alliances.
I reckon using the tactics i described above is under no way tolerated even if i dont want to harm any alliance and only want to make them an offer they can reject and i leave again.
ā is this or a similar scenario in any way allowed would be the first question, just to confirm
My other question would be if theres another way but the forum, line chats and the ingame chat to recruit players?
PS: some of my alliance and wing members reacted quite negatively on this topic, although my only goal was to discuss and get informed
I would never take actions if they are not permitted and im only looking for more (creative) ways to find some new members
Itās not illegal or anything, and certainly wonāt get you banned or the likeā¦ In so far as Iām awareā¦ Because it technically doesnāt break any of the Terms of Service.
It is however typically very poorly viewed by the community / other players in generalā¦ Many view it as āpoachingā.
However, I personally donāt see any issues with the practice if in one of the following circumstances:
the small ally is a dead oneā¦ Offering / notifying the few active players of a better option is imo a public service as they donāt necessarily KNOW that what they have is ā ā ā ā .
if itās for the purposes of making initial contact for a merger; then to progress discussions via a third party app like Line or Discord.
Are you on Line, Discord, Facebook or Reddit? Those in addition to the forum are the main tools for recruitment. There is no guarantee for any of them, however it gets your alliance name out there. In my personal experience however, nothing beats the forum for recruiting.
@Guvnor alright that deems most of my alliances information as false, yet good to know how
@HeathenHammer i havent tried all of them, but i might in the future. although i might first try my method, just to see how it works when applied and to see get peoples reaction
You can get banned for anything they do not read the reports just count them.
but itās not nice to JOINā¦ someone as a effort to recruitā¦ you JOINEDā¦ itās poaching and not nice.
I would say barging into someone alliance to try to get members boarders harassmentā¦
if someone is looking for an allianceā¦ they are notā¦ IN a allianceā¦ if they want to merger with you they will talk about it in AR (alliance recruitment room)
Facebook has recruitingā¦ also
AR is still the bestā¦
honestly, the best idea might be for you to find a alliance you like and then you all join themā¦
Itās a challenging question. I know a girl (letās call her Rosey from @truebigfamily) from my first alliance and I desperately want to poach her for my fourth alliance where she would be an awesome fit. But, āfairplayā says that is not cool. I have to live with that.
