It's inevitable that poaching will be viewed differently by the HCs of different alliances. I'm not suprised that 1up HCs don't have a problem with poaching, since they don't suffer from it in a true sense. There is no 'bigger and better' alliance for their members to go to. Regarding their players' PA careers, they have generally reached the top - whether in 1up, Angels or eXilition/Omen/etc.

In contrast, alliances at the lower levels do have poaching issues to varying degrees. Those that train new players, such as F-Crew, are hurt more by poaching than Vengeance, Subh or xVx. 1up/others should have no real need to put much effort into players themselves - otherwise they'd have made a mistake in recruiting them in the first place. On the other hand, F-Crew et al put a phenomonal amount of effort into their members, and seeing that effort being wasted is incredibly disheartening.
