Building a top 10 alliance
Top 10 is not a recruitment slogan. It is the result of enough committed people doing the right things, week after week.

Define the alliance you are building
Are you chasing rankings, event rewards, territory, social play or a balance? Members need to know what they are joining. Competitive does not have to mean humourless.
Build a repeatable cycle
Recruit suitable players. Help them learn. Recognise reliable contributors. Retain the people who make the alliance enjoyable. Replace unavoidable losses. Repeat. One recruitment push is not a strategy.
Improve participation before chasing more Might
If only a small group contributes to Alliance Duel, adding more high-Might accounts may change little. Teach scoring, explain reward targets and help the middle of the roster participate consistently.
Give leaders jobs, not crowns
Use R4 positions for people who actually organise activities, support members and make decisions. An impressive title without work behind it adds little.
Keep the game worth playing
Events, progression, friendship and a little chaos are why people stay. A top alliance that burns out its members is not optimised.
