When I login to the game and I want to type something to my Alliance, I visit the chat area. Then I have to click on Alliance because the default chat channel is World. I think the default chat channel should be Alliance. I am much more likely to chat with my Alliance than I am in world chat. There's nothing like saying, "Anyone want a thief?" accidentally in World Chat repeatedly. I, for one, think the default chat channel should be Alliance Chat, not World Chat.
