Dear Anet, I love this and I'm sorry to drown you in questions. When will this be implemented (approx. quarter)?Without saying too much about the algorithm, is alliance linked mainly limited by PPT skill, K/D skill, rank, (WvW) activity, or running coverage?Will/can we get the information about the alliance via the API?Can we get match awards for match wins like PvP with guilds? Guild with the most kills, most defensive/offensive points, most healing/revives?Something for winning a match even if its map selection?If a player changes their alliance server or main WvW guild, when or how long before it becomes active?When changed, does it still carry the stigma of no pips for a week?When a player is in WvW, are they required to rep their main WvW guild?In PvP, I have a tendency not to get linked with people I've blocked? Will the relinking be affect that? Or can we get a guild block list?For those running small guilds, you don't really have to worry. Many of the best guilds are small. Make a solid alliance and play :)Is there a way we could get a mechanism to hire small/guildless groups even if we had to pay gems to get in for a limited period of time? For those afraid of losing your community, start creating your alliance now with what guilds you want. The limit for a match would be approx. 1000 active members so figureout who you want to play with. There are no current limits for an alliance size though. So for PS/TC, you could actually make your roster bigger by making an alliance of your current roster and recruit RPers from PvE. If you don't like toxic people, kick them from the guild. If you don't like who you're linked with on your alliance then change alliances. YOU GET TO CHOOSE WHO YOU PLAY WITH. If you don't choose who you play with then Anet will choose for you. On other servers there have been horrible links where people didn't want to play with the other link server. And now, you can predict outcomes in the server matches with coverage wars. Matches are mostly stale and you know who is going to win from the start. The only difference is when a server wants to drop like JQ or Mag.
