What's with all the posts and threads from people complaining about being attacked?

If you're in an alliance that is at war then prepare to be attacked, if you don't want to be involved in a war then leave the alliance

1. Call it misunderstandings, rhetoric or politician speak, there are people promising things and assuming things that are contrary to the reality. Hence why people are crying "INJUSTICE!" when attacked.
2. If you have no part in the war, but want to stay in your alliance for personal reasons - why can't we allow it so on honour of being a better community than that? If you leave, what protection do you have against larger alliances - especially ones that would attack you for simply associating?

Surprised your alliance tolerates you; you want the benefit but won't share the cost.......

Asking for clarification of the reasons I am being attacked is not the same as complaining. :)

Have you ever read your alliance profile page?

The cost of course being inflicted by another alliance. Not to mention you seem to be forgetting what game this is. This is Illyriad. Not all of the alliances in the game are these indomitable machines that devour everyone that is not of use to them. Some alliances are literally just bands of people who casually play Illyriad as a sandbox or with friends. So I don't see why it's not perfectly acceptable to leave such persons be if they don't interfere with the war.

If your alliance is in war, then you are in war. Simple as that.

If you don't want to be a part of it, there is a Quit button at bottom of the alliance page. That might help.

It is all about priorities, if you value your friends over incoming attacks/losing cities etc. then stay and fight, else leave.

Whats my alliance page got to do with anything?

It's quite simple if you're in an alliance that is at war, prepare for war and don't be surprised if you're attacked.

As others have said, why are you staying in the alliance with you're friends if you are not prepared to help those friends in times of war?

Why is someone from Aesir commenting on a war between eagles and harmless? Harmless had previously stated this was a limited war. But they seem to be acting as of it's all out war.

If its all out war so be it, let the dogs of war run.

However if it's limited I think I'm justified in asking why I was targeted.

If the server has gotten to the point that people in alliance A that are at war with alliance B, do not want to be attacked by B while still residing in A and expect the community to respect that, then I'm not sure I want to play Illyriad anymore.

There should not be only benefits to a decision, you should always be prepared for a cost.
