I agree. There's got to be a bit of a balance.  Numbers need to have weight and meaning.  In other large scale pvp mmo's this is addressed via underdog bonuses, or having some structured endpoints where numbers are controlled after stages of unrestricted potential zerg.  This game does seem to allow for an organized, smaller group to outplay a bigger, less organized one to an extent, and this is good.  In contrast, a totally sterile environment without the possibility of being outnumbered (even heavily) can make for a boring experience. The idea of lowering alliance caps is certainly a functional way to limit how the gameplay breaks down with a big enough blob.  However, I think it breaks the spirit a bit since the alliance cap is an arbitrary number (different from the zone cap being a performance issue), and thus functions as a band aid to mechanics that are the root cause of the issues (IE: the zone cap and map size).  It would definitely do what people expect it to do, but it just treats the symptoms and not the problem. The devs are obviously happy to try things as needed to address problems, and I'm not opposed to alliance cap being adjusted.  If it helps fix the problem in the short term, by all means.  Just be sure to remove the band aid once the problem has actually healed.

Synapse are winning the AU server with a group of about 25 on that server. They just successfully sieged the Executioner Castle. Executioners fielded excessive numbers, but Synapse seemed to have managed to play a tight game and won out. Season actually turned out quite exciting. The result is mostly settled, as Synapse are well ahead in the Conquest game now. Will be interesting to see what drama unfolds after the Zerg guilds start figuring out how to split rewards hundreds of ways...

I'm sure it brings more traffic to his vendors.
