I have to agree with DD89. There is nothing wrong with a player who logs in once or twice a week, sets their build queues and works quietly. Perhaps they are tournament fighters or city builders. Many casual players are probably adults with families and jobs, and thus limited time for video games. There is no need for the game mechanics to punish people who aren't super-active or chatty. Nor do I see any particular virtue in rewarding people who simply log in every day for a minute to grab free prestige points.

If you're so concerned about prestige, pay the $30 (20 GBP) for 1200 points.

I would caution, there is a big difference between wanting to log in everyday.  And being forced to login everyday via game mechanics.  As I and several others have pushed for, less clicking for its own sake and more actual game play.

a sitter is not rewarded prestige when they log in, only the main account holder. the sitter is also not allow to use the alliance prestige pool....adding a daily prestige point to the alliance prestige pool  will also allow us to find out spies in our alliance..spying ruins a game more than it helps it....it will  encourage people to play...we need more active players in the game, this will give  another reason to log into the game more often, especially when u have max castles or long builds going on. we should develop positive active team play to make this game more fun and keep people logging in often!

Players can already donate the one free prestige they get to the alliance every day, if they so choose.

A large alliance has to spread its prestige pool over a bigger number to.  

If an alliance of 100 people each donate 1 prestige.  Then the alliance has 1 prestige per person.  
If an alliance of 10 people each donate 1 prestige.  The alliance still has 1 prestige per person.

As for bots and excessive alt accounts there are already plenty of reasons those our 'encouraged'  

Although I still would like to see things that you could do to help out the alliance.  Doesn't have to be prestige but perhaps another form of alliance daily bonus.

That would seem to favor large alliances. They already have an advantage, in that they have many players who can collect and donate their prestige. Such a policy might also encourage the use of bots or excessive alt accounts.

Actually I love the idea that you can 'claim' a reward for the alliance.  1 pres for you, 1 pres for the alliance :D
