Alliance Battles - For Real (Idea)

notamutant

Currently, whether it be boss battles as an alliance, or scoring fights as alliances in PvP or PvE, alliances aren't really competing directly with each other, except in terms of a score. What if they implemented a new PvP type event, where you challenge another alliance, and the alliances are matched based on matchmaking. Then, you can only attack other members of that alliance for that event. The players in that alliance with a higher MMR are worth more points. You basically build up points for your alliance for every fight you win (or give points to the other alliance if you lose). You are set up against that alliance for 1-3 hours, after which the alliance with the highest score wins that round. If you win the round, you get whatever points you got from playing plus some victory point modifier. The Alliance Battle event lasts 3-4 days like any other event. Each round you win, you get bonuses, as well as placement like normal alliance event rewards.

Now obviously, this still has some leaderboard type thing, but at least you are directly competing with other alliances instead of just points. The downside is that 5 star only alliances will become a thing, but that could be okay if it is an event held only once every 2-3 months like the boss battles.

I am just looking for more variety in this game. What does everybody think?
