Yeah, cause if you don't take the cost into consideration, people will use it as a cheaper alternative to building up a single gang. If i paid 20M to upgrade my gang, and then found out that some new people were able to get the same amount of slots by combining a bunch of 100k gangs together, I'd be pretty *upset* (had to clean up my language). Especially considering that you guys in the bigger gangs are mostly donors also, or in other words that you probably invested real money into getting yourselves where you are.

As for the idea of common gang mail, would all that really be necessary? I think smaller gangs should take some of the responsibility upon themselves and just do a better job of communicating. If I am planning something, and I want another gang's help, I just go to their userlist and see who's online and message that person, and have him/her communicate directly with the rest of his/her gang. It's an extra couple of steps, but considering I have not invested 20 million into upgrading my gang, I think that it makes sense that I should not have the same advantages.

That being said, I agree also that it would probably be more fun in AL to have some stronger mid-level gangs. The big gangs at the top are pretty impressive I find (at least from my perspective at my low level), but the mid-level gangs don't make for very interesting gameplay I find. And I am not in a position to talk about it, but I would think that it must get a bit boring for you bigger gangs to not really have much of a challenge?
