Ohh yeah theres also one factor that I didnt write about and as this whole thing its mainly psychological.
That when alliance loses meber(s) is always psychological bonus for others. For example if TBA kicks 2 members from one alliance other allys can see hey they are losing members.
Now when they can replace the numbers at same tick... actual amounts on alliance page never changes, you never know they swapped members unless you watch scores very closely and even then you dont know why their score changed.
I give you basic example... this round TBA in very few hours replaced multiple members in their alliances with more active ones. If these guys who swapped to TBA would have needed to go solo first etc... or lets say few rounds ago they would have stayed in their alliances, that means those active and good players would have been among ranks of these 5+ rank alliances and they would have boosted resistance side with their activity and thus we can say this new recruitment system was as small but still there partially affecting complete failure of resistance.
As when ever resistance was able to push throught and knock down TBAs morale they were easily able to replace their less good, less active and replace them with fresh blood and units.
One could argue that but they could in the past too, yes they could but that meant player of smaller alliance would need to go actively to seek for spot in better alliance, do IRC convos, go solo, be undefended, not be sure if they gonna kick for sure etc. those factors are very small as one but combined together they make much bigger wall to climb over to leave mediocre alliance and to join top one.
