Alliances

When I look at the advantage of an alliance I don't see much. I want to suggest trading, gifting and group warring between alliance members. This may sway those who think alliances are useless toward joining one.

trading with players and trading within a alliance is out of the question due to possibility of abuse.

war between alliance members? then what is the point of joining a alliance?

if you ment war between other alliances, alliance wars will be coming out in a future update
