I would like to start out by saying I am fairly new to Grepolis and thoroughly enjoy the game thus far. I understand the concept of warring and conquesting and truly enjoy that type of game play.
My main concern is how alliances usually recruit and work in Grepolis generally. I know there are a lot of MRA that just grab everyone they can for some points and rank. I also understand those that fight their way to the top being selective.
I started Grepolis about a month ago and brought a few gamer friends from another game that we were burnt out on. We then started to work towards CSs and centering ourselves together so that we could enjoy the game more.
The game, especially on Chi, is now ruined for us. I received a letter from what seemed to be a fairly nice guy in a rank 7 alliance. I assume he is the founder by the way he talks. We exchanged a few emails about him wanting me to join and so forth. I discussed it with my group and we decided that we wanted to stay just us for the time being. I letter3d the guy back politely declining the invite and explaining that we wanted to stay just our core group and enjoy the game to ourselves eventually conquesting other closely ranked alliances.
Within minutes I received a hateful reply and the attacks started to roll in. I messaged him back saying I thought it was poor tactics and wondered why a ranked 7 alliance was trying to tear a ranked 60 something alliance apart or why we even posed a threat. The reply was "I just want you to join us" in so many words.
So I either have the option of joining a bullying alliance and losing my core repoir with my group or leaving the game due to being harassed by a much higher ranked alliance due to number of members.
My question boils down to this, is this the way things work in Grepolis? Are bigger alliances known for bullying smaller lower ranked alliances around just to gain members and rank? I would think they would want a better reputation than that. Thoughts?
