Back after a long time

You kind of have to start such parties yourself nowadays. It's just much more rare for an alliance to stay alive indefinitely, so when new people feel like EXPing and there is no party already going or no shouts, people just go do something else instead. If you start a party and give it some time, you'll be able to pick up all those people who "feel like getting some exp but CBA organizing it". Once you have around 12 people, that's enough to get started, and just gradually fill up the last 6 slots as people randomly pop up for exp.

Additionally, if you're the alliance leader, you can be whatever job and level you want to, and might not even need to open chests. Considering how many party leaders I see who just don't give a shit about keeping the alliance healthy and efficient (which eventually leads to shit exp, which again leads to people leaving and the alliance dying), I'd say you justify being useless battle-wise by actively keeping the alliance full and efficient.

And ok, yeah. You're right in that. Sorry for misunderstanding.
