Our Alliance used to be around 11-12.000 medals, nearly full always, immediately after kicking an inactive member we got one (< 1 minute). After the update we are getting maybe 1 member in a week - trying to maintain the member count over 40... Our alliance score went up to 16.000 in the meantime, but the frequency of getting new members did not change at all. Basically i dont get what was the intention of NEXON with this tweak and i do not believe it was even considered what an impact it will have on the whole environment.
I can understand that for new alliances the chance is a bit higher, but once they become larger (20-30 members) they will be hit by their own medicine of being completely invisible for players seeking to join an alliance.
So now we have the top 100-200 alliances being able to advertise themselves using the medal list and popping up in search result sets and then lot of well established alliances having 30-40 members and not getting new ones after kicking the usual 2-3 inactive after a season.
So nothing was solved - the top alliances are still on the top - as higher level active players when switching alliances will look to join a top group, whereas the the lower level and maybe less active players (kicked from their alliances for inactivity - not really interested in active playing) will have a chance to some newbie alliances of 15-20 members, where they will completely loose interest in the game after a while...
So here is a suggestion - since the donation and request records per player are available, why not base (maybe the average donation per day from the last few months for the player and the alliance) the suggested alliance list on these records?

At this time - it is exactly 24hrs since we went down to 41 members. Medal requirement 0 - "open" alliance.
In the last 24 hrs, not a single player has joined our alliance... Not a single one! We are definitely a well hidden secret....
We are a very active alliance, all 41 members are active daily and as can be seen from the screen shot we donate well - this pic is 5 min old.

They've been ignoring just about every glitches in this game. Nexon doesn't prioritize in fixing this game and making it functional.

Still not included in the known issues thread.. Bumping for visibility until this gets fixed or reverted back to the old, wonderful, perfectly fine search algorithm.
Sure does... Kicked 3 players 36 hrs ago and no "visitors" since then.. would love to kick 3-5 more but cant... need to wait for refilling of ranks - better to have a couple of inactives so that we can do war than... Remaining players compensate for their attacks.
This problem is hurting the community in so many ways. Not only are great alliances dwindling away as people leave the game for lack of a fun team....and people looking for great new homes not able to find one....but its seriously got to be the reason our war queue times in full alliances are through the roof. So tired of having to choose between excluding dozens of people so we can shrink down to 15-25 player wars, or including everyone and waiting hours/days for a 40/45 player queue. Totally disheartening that no action continues to be taken.

Just had a 15 hour queue for our last war (40v40). Before the update that has caused alliance numbers to shrink all over the place, this NEVER happened. Now it ALWAYS happens. Although we are super lucky in that we've had almost no one leave or quit for months, we are still impacted by what is happening because of this issue to other alliances, there simply arent enough teams now that can field 40 man war crews because members have shrunk. We arent a top team with only global/IA bases making it hard to find equal opponents.....we are a broad mix of Gunpwnder-Global like I'd assume many teams are, and our experience is now horrible and we are having to cut members from war in order to get down to a size where there are more teams available. Fix it Nexon, please!
We just got our first new member through the alli search screen in about 2 months. The guy must have felt like royalty we were all so excited to see someone new lol.
And yes, to towers post above, this issue is having a huge effect on allies of all sizes. If you arent hit by reduced members, you are hit by truly awful war queue times, or forced to cut great teammates from war. Still in absolute shock Nexon is letting this continue. Perhaps its not possible to roll back the code? There is probably no single event that has hurt the community as much as this one.

appears to be an issue of ego at this point.. ie. lets justify the misplaced development dolllars spent breaking something that was working perfectly fine...i also find it interesting that we get zero response from any of the CM's, yet if someone posts a screenshot of a suspected cheater there is a reply within a day...no word on this since the "feedback thread" weeks ago.. smh

I have disgruntled team members now, not only because of lack of "proper" new players but also because their leader (me) is unable to load the game and is hurriedly trying to build a baby base - no way of leaping through the ages to my previous level to take them to war. I had reset minimum medals to 200 before the game crashed last week which is good and bad. Good because my baby base didnt take too long to get into the alliance but bad because of our new non-communicative baby players. Sigh. I did prepare after the last crash by electing co-leaders...
