The biggest problem is that an incentive has been created to lobby due to the fact that we now have active admins that play the game.

Unfortunately most of the community seems to have decided that lobbying for their problems to be resolved via changes to game mechanics or game policy is simply easier than bucking up and working on your alliance's organization.

Meanwhile if people took half the time they spend lobbying the admins over their problems and spent that on their alliance instead, chances are most of the problems would be gone. But I digress.
