I was informed a little earlier about a change in the alliance, with Sovereign being removed from it without prior notice or intimation.
It's rather disheartening to see such an un-professional behavior towards alliance guilds from a guild which I thought was being run by seasoned gamers. No matter what the reason for removal, I think it would count as basic courtesy to inform Sovereign about the change before it was done.
I don't really know who is running Origin at the moment, but I'm afraid that such an outlook and approach from a leading guild is quite disdainful.
