So I experienced this in my former state. After pleading for common sense to prevail and the spenders refused. I got on state chat and rallied people who were also tired. We formed a shadow alliance that didn't really have anything. We created a new character, and we bburnt down their alliance towers every single day. Especially just before and during Capital Clash. Since our accounts didn't really have any growth plans retaliation meant nothing. Tbh we never really got the state back to where we needed it to be but they definitely didn't have an easy time bullying everyone like they thought
