I may have figured out part of why its borked. I might be wrong of course
I have found that when I zone or enter/leave scenario that a character that previously had alliance chat access then loses it. I've raised this in a bug report in game already. If I exit the game and re-enter I get alliance chat access back. Bear in mind I'm talking about alts, not my main which is guild leader mega access etc.
I got to thinking why this would happen. Everything that follows is guesswork.
I'm guessing that when a toon zones, that the game client checks the permissions for various access such as guild and alliance. I think that something it previously relied on as a 'given' (or global variable) has been taken away. It is a variable that is only set at first login. Its something that is not checked in the game code later on.
I cannot assist with checking what this variable is. But this seems to be on the right track of what is going wrong.
CSRs are telling people to leave alliance and rejoin. It doesn't work. So don't waste your time if you get told this. No offense to the CSRs, they are probably working with limited info on this.
