Important: Alloy or not ?!?

Hi there!

As far I know Alloy is only required to host for people not beeing able to forward their ports correctly.

Today someone said, if Alloy is not used, the opposite team of the host cannot win, also the game would be fast WITH alloy.

So please give a statement how it should be used in the current version 1.12.

Should we ALWAYS use alloy for hosting for different reasons or is it only required for people not beein able to setup their NAT correctly, as intended to???

Answer from any dev would be nice!
