User blog comment:Docfreeze/Alliance Duels - the beginning of the end?/@comment-5403704-20141028205540

If they wanted to improve the state of AD, they could simply match alliances within the same timezone. Can't sacrafice time? Neither will (or should) your foes!

Of course, the flaw there is that alliances don't neccesairly have defined timezones. Members can be all around the world (I'm western and most of my alliance is eastern hemisphere). Plus, to super competitive alliances out there, that means nothing.

If your rally doesn't make it, another way to protest is to not buy the alliance duel sets. This is counter-intuitive on everyone's part, but if a buisness doesn't listen to its consumers, maybe they will listen when money earnings slow down abruptly.

Or even better; bring back Alliance Battles as the side event, but keep AD as a thing like regular duels! In other words, alliances can choose which alliance to duel with to win a randomly picked R or SR from a previous AD/AB/AW/GW event, because we all know Nubee rarely recycles cards! This way, someone can truly try to collect 'em all without having to be a veteran.

I'm likely just throwing ideas out so...who knows? Point is, it's tiring enough for AW rankings, so voices need to be heard when people say AD is unfair for those too far outside Japan's timezone.
