I think I can understand your situation. In-game, I always prioritize my alliance. I spend all my resources and cards on worship/hall, spend several days every event sending AW/FAWs to my alliance, and often feel certain members don't "deserve" it. But, putting up with it and not pushing the other members is a valuable trait. My alliance isn't the greatest, but I've never envied being in one of the top alliances. I believe taking it slowly until the "right" members gather up is best. From what I see, the best members to have (and hardest to find) are those that know each other IRL. I don't know my members IRL, but a small group of friends exist that motivate each other during every event. That drive kept my alliance going.
