Alliance Hopping for DW and Tycoon

Hi all,
I know some of the veterans and high BR folks who will see this post will already know this occurs, but I want to talk about the fact that people hop between alliances to do Demonic War 3 or more times during a single DW cycle, so they can get even more gold points in SS Tycoon. Of course you have to have a certain amount of connections between alliances and have multiple parties willing to let you do this, but this honestly seems like a rather egregious abuse of the system to me (And some other folks I've discussed this with). You already get huge piles of gold from DW that make ranking high in SS Tycoon next to impossible for someone with low BR* unless they cash out substantially (which defeats the purpose of adding gold to Tycoon in the first place) and the maximum one can get is usually 2 times within a single Tycoon, since that's the way the DW cycle plays out. Alliance hopping for the sake of getting in more DW piles of gold to get millions (yes millions) of Tycoon points from gold alone seems to defeat the spirit of the alliance system (being a community to grow, learn and develop cross-server and become more competitive as a player by learning from stronger players--not a bunch of places you oscillate between on a daily basis out of "convenience". It should be a semi-permanent home if not permanent while you're in the game) and the purpose of having gold a part of tycoon at all. I remember how much people complained about gold not being in Tycoon a while back and initially, I agreed with arguments from folks who said it was unfair to non-cashers to not include Gold. But, as we go through more and more Tycoons, it seems that the highest-ranking people are cashers who abuse the gold system in this way, via Alliance Hopping, so it just gives them an even bigger, albeit unintentional edge in Tycoon rankings. It also means the same people on a particular server always get the Top 3, even Top 10 rewards and shut everyone else out just by amassing gold through this abuse. I know a few who like to abuse it to ensure they and their "friend(s)" control the Tycoon rankings themselves by taking them with them hopping. It's just not fun and honestly what the point of participating if that's what's going on? That's the sentiment I see spreading nowadays.
I don't want devs to remove Gold from Tycoon. I think the problem lies in A) how points are not capped for gold when this abuse is possible and B) the system is such that this abuse is possible regardless. But it goes on and people do not really talk about it; rather, some folks have accepted it as the way it is, or envy others and aspire to do it themselves. So I've made the poll to see if any of you on this forum have issues with the fact that this is going on, to see if maybe I'm in the minority here lol. I'm not trying to call everyone who does it evil or a bad person I'm just saying it's an unfair abuse of the system, and I want to highlight what I see as a recurring problem (monthly recurring in fact).
Of course if you have more comments add them to this thread! I welcome it whether you hate that this is going on or love it. 
Nyx - editted the poll to include a correct 4th option
