Also do you even get to join alliances in progress like you do for dungeons? I've never seen it happen. Could just be a matter of nobody dropping out of course, but the parties seem to be coded a little differently, like you can't go in undersized without three parties of some description.
Yes, you can join them in progress. It's not very common since 90% of the time you get the CT raids anyways, and RARELY if ever do people leave those due to how "brain dead easy" they are(yet there are still wipes because people forget to think about anything). If you happen to get into any of the other ones, there is usually a higher chance of someone leaving and there being a replacement...as long as the leader actually searches for new people.
