i agree with Hazel. AB was just much more relaxed and there was no time constraint. a lot of people also complain in my alliance about AD, mostly about the match ups and timezone. like ShanaCon said, we mostly participate in AD just to lvl up our alliance rank. once we reach rank 15 i doubt i'll even bother with it anymore. i remeber my alliance tried to get as many wins as possible once (so every1 in the alliance gets the reward) by 'limiting' the amount of points we win by (base on the theory that the match ups are based on those point difference) but that did not work out at all. the previous AD we had at least 11 losses and we still ended up against an alliance with all wins and 0 loss.

right now we no longer care about AD and people just do whatever they want when it starts. most of the time we just chat on the message board. i guess that one benefit from AD is that it brings the alliance closer? maybe? at least thats for my alliance
