Sorry but wouldn't the "joining/leaving" alliance be a similar "exploit" as MC has accused other corporations of other ingame alliances who have been at war, of doing?

To clarify why many feel that the MC are being somewhat hypocritical:
 Originally by: Seleene
In short, we have done this because we are determined to make our profession work. We will continue to adapt to the game mechanics and use whatever means necessary to play our chosen role within the game.
In short, the industrial corporations left XETIC because they were determined to make their profession work. The game mechanics are flawed in allowing anyone to shoot anybody as long as they are in a player run corp. Wars should be limited to 0.4 and lower, it does not make sense that CONCORD would allow lawless space to exist as long as they got a 1m bribe a week. In 0.4 CONCORD's presence is not existent and so it makes more sense that war fees are paid and are sort of bribery.
The industrial corporations wanted to mine and produce, due to game mechanics they found it hard so they left. I see nothing different there between MC and those.
Both want to play the game their chosen way.
MC and Seleene are all out now trying to wedge a mercenary system into the game because it's their chosen playing style. There is a LOT of chosen playing styles out there currently that are seriously hampered by bad implementation and game mechanics, industrial being one of them.
If MC wish others to respect their chosen playing style, they should respect the playing style of others and not accuse them of being cowards because they don't want to play like MC thinks it should be played.
MC are very good at what they do but just like everyone else, they aren't above using game mechanics to achieve results that they feel they have the right to, and can not put themselves into the seat of a judge.
Why are CLS so vocal even if we were very active in the MC war? Because we care about ALL playing styles and see why many XETIC (and other alliances) left the IGA to try and make their playing style work.
All the "but they could have done A and B" from MC can be shrugged off because that's their suggestions from their point of view, which is clearly not the same as a lot of players have.
It's a multi-player game, not a multi-shooter.

It is impossible to declare more than 3 wars at once, so we are essentially left with no choice.
No choice? 3 contracts not enough? What sort of employer would be satisfied with you diverting your resources when you are to be solely contracted for his benefit?
YOU CREATED THE IG-ALLIANCE TO LOWER YOUR COSTS
OTHERS LEFT ALLIANCES TO LOWER THEIR COSTS
Difference?
None

It's not personal guys, just like it's never personal for you. You do seem to take it personally though.
It is acknowledged that the Alliance is merely a DISCOUNT COUPON should someone want to hire more than one of your corporations.
Same flip-flop of using Alliance as a conveniance as many corporations who leave Alliances (not that I personally approve of it but I understand their reasoning) during war.

Similarly we can't operate collectively without an IGA because of the cretinous new war cost system.
You can, it just costs extra.
Discount Coupon!

Admit it, Riddari! Let it out, man! They are traitors and cowards! You're going to pod them if they look at you wrong in 0.0, aren't you?! 
I haven't the foggiest who left and who didn't. Buerocracy.

EDIT - Actually, buy me this ship and I'll kill whoever you want me to with it for a month. 
Very nice.
Shame my wallet never reached 10% of Digitals wallet.

Shockingly me and Charity are agreeing on something.
As for a member corporation of MC using an alt-production company, I've been told at least one of them does but that's by the by for now.
Moderators please note, the topic starter requested his topic to be locked, which is in relation to the rules.
