No i just don’t see the point of alliances
I think the very word and definition of Alliance can be seen thousands of different ways.
For example you mentioned war. That is a major con not mentioned in the OP.
Now I am not saying people here are going to start Guild wars and regularly because of an official Alliance feature. It is bond to happen though. I know negativity can get dragged out on users for years after such events.
In addition some people in an Alliance may not hold their own ground and may try to request or influence the assistant of others. This could result in spam, unnecessary drama, and more. These are already some things that exist here without official site Alliances. An Official Site Alliance Feature will lead to these problems and more unless mitigated or managed otherwise. Who, what, when, how, why, etc is not properly in place here on this site to do that. As Ladder Slasher has a section set aside for PvP I cannot Rule out Alliances being a real thing but I don't see it happening right now. I cannot speak for the near future but if so then having open discussions about the future of Alliances (realistic or not) should be embraced not avoided.
