I don't know if you guys are just behind on updating the alliance, or maybe there is some bias, but why make the ONLY alliance power pure trading? History has shown the alliance is NOT afraid to show it's teeth, if you're only going to give the third MAJOR faction a single power player to start why not at least make it so he has a little bit of everything. I desperately want to join the alliance but as it stands I would have to completely change how I play to do anything with them.
