Alliance expansion idea

Right now, if you have more than 4 friends, it costs $5 per friend to keep in touch with them in this game. The developers choose this cost presumably because expanding the size of your alliance gives you a big benefit in Alliance leaderboard events, but it puts their players in a bad position. "Oh, hey, my brother started playing. He wants to be in my alliance, but probably won't contribute to it very much. Do I want to tell him he can't join, or do I want to pay $5 so he doesn't feel left out?"

Maybe a solution would be to have two types of roster slots:

Make it a Hero Point cost to add a "Teammate Slot" to your Alliance Roster

And have an ISO cost to add a "Backup Slot" to your Alliance Roster. Backup slots won't count for tournaments, but they can still view other teammates rosters and participate in alliance chat when it is added.

Making it so players can't ally with all their friends is a bad idea - it will make some players feel like they aren't really part of the group and make them less likely to play the game in general.

    If you have a multiple device, which most people should have(any 2 of phone, tablet, pc,laptop) then there is a cheap way of expanding roster slot. Just create a new account on your secondary account, farm up the hp require to expand roster, it not that hard to do with new account since there are plenty HP available. Join your main account alliance, promoter your second account to commander. Expand member slot. Rinse and repeat.

    ^ thanks for the tip, will do. I only have one extra device but even one extra alliance member helps.

    Once you are done opening another slot with the account on your extra device, just delete the game from your device and re-download it, it will give you a new account(just dont use facebook connect option) so you can repeat this method to open more slot. Even though it get harder as you require a lot more HP for later slot. Also make sure you turn off tutorial so you dont have to spend 50 hp on HE or BW.
