Since we're talking about Paradigm in context, let's look at them:
Last 'set, Paradigm fought on the winning side of a coalition war. They have friends, and they probably have a few favours they can call in. So, who are you suggesting hits them? Their allies? The people on the opposite side of the coalition war from last 'set, which would probably result in the war just getting fought all over again? I may be reading the specifics of the situation wrong because I'm not privy to anything related to alliance politics, but the general point stands: alliances don't just decide to spontaneously go to war against some other alliance, as there are a lot of other factors to take into consideration.
No one is going to bother when the individual ranks really don't matter that much to alliances anyway. There's good reason why people rarely aid their players to the top and it isn't because of fairness.
