Are there any rules regarding to forming an alliance?
Yesterday my guild and I got an invitation if we did not want to form an alliance...once we agreed they said we HAD to give them 5000 luxon faction points every two days
Is there a rule for or against these ways of working?
5000/2days seems a big heap...

Obviously they can't MAKE you donate anything, nor can they monitor exactly how much each person is donating. All they can do is kick you from the alliance, which is no biggy unless they are own, say, Cavalon

5k/2 days for the entire guild is not huge, in fact its piddly. Its not a mountanous amount per person either, but it still take times. Its all about what your goal as an alliance is. If you dont agree with the goals, then dont be in it.

I don't understand what you mean by "these ways of working." I think several things went wrong here:

1. Someone (randomly?) invited your guild into an alliance without setting expectations beforehand.
2. Your guild accepted an invitation into an alliance without really understanding what you were getting into.

This is not a serious problem. If the alliance leader has expectations that you feel are excessive, you can quit the alliance at any time. Conversely, if your guild is unwilling to comply with the alliance's rules, the alliance leader is well within their rights to expel your guild. Either way, you're both better off. This is not only true for alliances, but for guilds in general.

5000 factions is just a little more than nothing. One person can get that much factions in less than an hour.

What I don't understand is why alliances set these rules. It's not like they have a longterm goal planned, because 5k factions/2days will hardly get the alliance anywhere. The factions could be put to better use for jadeites.

One of these days, I'm gonna have to look into this Alliance thing to see what it's all about. So far it just sems to be a pain in the butt.
