Revert Back the cost of Alliance creation from Gems to Gold

[wide radish]

Creating new alliances for trading is often a thing that we do a lot, especially for alliance members that are not co-leads or leads.

Before, it takes me 300k gold to make one, which is pretty cheap compared to what I have. Now? It takes 5 gems🥲 Which is definitely a lot harder to get than Gold.

I do not see any benefit in this change. It makes the game less enjoyable to me, on top of all ridiculous prices already existing. If you want to limit alliance creation, consider putting a cooldown time instead. Players with a lot of gems can still spam create alliances.

It looks like they just want to purge all the F2P from the game, as trading is a primary source of orbs for F2P (rather than spending money).
Making the cost 5 gems each time we have to trade, let's say every 3 days or so, that's like 600 gems a year, even more if you have to make more than 1 Alliance coz we can be in need of urgent trades at times.

that is an incredibly evil and definitely urging thing to do there

Or simply make trading not require alliance
