I have a life...

I have not been able to finish many alliance events I've started because I was out of energy, and then time ran out, or because it was over before I knew it had been started, etc... These are examples of my frustration. I'm an adult with a life and way more important things to do than play games, but the games I like to play, all seem geared toward the idea that this is the only game I play and that it is my life. It makes it difficult to be part of an alliance. You can get kicked from your alliance for not participating in enough events. It's really annoying when I have the time to play, but I run out of the in-game energy.
What I'm asking for is a solution that gives me more time to play when I have the time to play. The ability to refill my alliance energy, for example, would be nice. Also, just longer times in general would be good too.

Also, not all of the events are worth investing time or energy into. Item Use, for example, offers extremely minimal rewards for having to use up many of your saved up resources. The best events for really putting the time and effort into are things like Raid Blast, Advancement, Mission Complete, and Away Mission Success...those events tend to last at least a day or longer, which should give you enough time to participate to at least some degree.
But again, it really comes down to playstyle. Personally, if I was in an Alliance that was pushing me to do events that I didnt have the time to do, I would find a new Alliance. Its better for the Alliance, and yourself.
In regards to things like running out of energy in AM's, as a poster above mentioned, you can purchase things to restore that energy in the Store. But AM's are supposed to be a team effort. They work even better when your Alliance puts people in similar time zones into the same groups...that way everyone is awake and playing around the same times, which helps progression through the map. Similarly as mentioned above, if 90% of your Alliance is in Europe and youre in California, it might be better for you to find an Alliance that does AM's in a time zone closer to your own.
if you can't take it just quit the game completely or quit the alliance. Join a more casual one. And don't try to 100% everything else you'll stress out.. need to take a chill pill from the game sometimes and focus on what is important such as events and AM.
just my advice.. hope you choose what's best for you. Some games are like that requires a lot of commitment. I'm a transformers fan so I don't mind.. I love collecting the toys since young and enjoy playing with them. If you're not a fan, I understand it will be hard to keep up. Same as Marvel or DC games or any other that is based on a massive brand name.
Honestly, if it's over before you know it or time ran out then you're not really playing the game much or even playing daily, because it's a 24 hour timer. It seems like you play so little you don't even know that AM is 24 hours and how much effort is required to finish it.
The best solution is to find an alliance that is equally passive as you are that doesn't care about playing the game or completing events.
There are lots of alliances out there that suit all different levels of play, if you need help finding one that fits your level of play and commitment, let us know here on the forums. I'm sure many have some good suggestions for a suitable alliance for you.
The amount of nodes that AM has, if you join in the last few hours you're not really helping and forcing everyone else to work much harder to complete it. If everyone joined when you did or played the way you do it's physically impossible to complete AM, so look for an alliance that doesn't care about doing it.
With that being said, there's lots of contradictions in your post and it just sounds like someone who is salty about being kicked for inactivity and just wants to vent and give excuses, everything you've said is 'it's not my fault, life is unfair'.
Just look at the alpha deal for instance. $4.99 for a hand full of alpha essence. Or you could grind through the special missions to get the same amount for free, but then your time is used up and maybe even some energon or a energy refill is used...both of which will cost money or time to regain...a vicious circle that we all fall for when we let our wallets tell them that their current model is working and they are making profits off of the amount of people that spend over $60 (the cost of a retail game with everything unlocked without having to spend money)
The game has solo stuff, it's called spotlights, raids and arena... etc.
I would love to see 3 7-day solo events like :
1. Crystals opening
2. Your own advancement
3. Energy or tickets use ( for example 1 mission energy = 1 point, 1 raid ticket = 5 points, alliance mission energy - 5 points)
