Support Setting: Simple - Why?

[Frying Pan Warrior]

Why was this setting created? It states you can only support tribe members.

Question 1:
A) Was it truly created to prevent allies from supporting each other?
B) Or is its purpose to not allow long-range support to be sent after noble trains?

Question 2:
Is 'Uber' considered a patch to 'Simple' as it enforces that support outside of the tribe cannot be received and kept?

Would be great if we could get an official response from a member of the Tribal Wars Community Management to understand the intentions of this setting. ( :

Yeah it seems to really encourage defensive play, which is the exact opposite of what you'd want from a setting restricting the sending of support.
