Just because some of us have large FC's and well geared tight-knit groups to steamroll through this others do not. They are adding incentives not to troll with MIP and vote-kick, which should alleviate some of these issues.
Of course speculative posts are incredibly alarmist and carry a 'sky-is-falling' mentality. Players will ramp up / exaggerate their concern to get feedback when they feel they are not being heard (as is the case right now for most angry posters).

While MIP and Vote-kick will help, it won't solve the problem. That's mostly the issue here - is that SE recognizes and has responded to many of the issues (trolls, griefers, AFKers) but only promised a partial solution. I say partial because the angry posters here can see that the obvious/glaring/clear full solution - 24-person alliance formation support, and believe (reasonably or not) that it should be easy to implement.
