Because the cartels compete with each other more fiercely than individuals compete. If individual (non-cartel aligned) players leave the game, there would still be fierce (more than 100 players) competing for T1, i suspect.

Allies are already useless in 2 out of 3 events (campaign, PVP), let's not make allies completely worthless. The ally community adds largely to the fun. It would appear teams or cartel's have a clear advantage over an individual player. seeds are directed at particular players needing help and could boost them faster than the average joe scanning himself and hitting random seeds. the ally feature has kept me glued to this game for sure, i joined the chat cartel at the end of this event. It helped.
