It wouldn’t help anything. People who are in non-raiding klans would just be placed into the raiding bracket the week after they won their mid-bracket domination round.

They would do this normally, and this way it takes longer. People with 30 medals are going to sit with people with 30 medals, and people with 4 medals aren’t going to make that huge jump when they get 4 medals in a blowout. Right now, the top tier has 6-8 medal winners. Increasing the scope of medal winnings slows down the transition from low-number to high-number.

There is a list of people in the top 3 brackets who are raiding and have 10 or fewer total medals. In other words, this is why this won’t work at all in the short term. All it takes is one raider in a non-raider bracket to completely dominate.

In the short term is a stupid argument. I’ve said this before: In the short term is basically domination right now. This change allows for long term trends. Ignoring all future posts with that phrase.

1) People waiting until the start of a new domination season to earn medals, so that they can be #1 for that season without ever having to enter a top-medaller bracket.

Uh, sure, if they want to do that, but they’ll get less than those who continuously work.

2) This change would allow, for example, a top-medaller’s newly-made alt to stay in low-medal brackets for a longer period of time, essentially perpetuating the problem.

Well, ****, you’ve got a point here. Except for that fact that after a while, that alt’s back in the big leagues. This change works in the long term.
