In all honesty Demon, i joined the Water Dowsers at MP4, gathered Water as i saw fit, battled in and out of my Mind Power, "suffered" from Eons stat damage, and enjoyed the various advantages an Alliance/Guild gives.
I do not think the system needs changing. It seems It works just fine to me, so, leave it be.
If your gutsy enough, join an Alliance/Guild at MP4. If not, then just wait till you rank up. The problems not with the Alliances/Guilds, its with you, and i say that with as much respect as possible.
