I’m afraid, all of you guys miss the whole logic of Domination. It’s not about alts or whatever – it’s about Domination. The medals are obtained not in the arithmetical progression, but rather in geometrical.
Open the Most Medals leaderboard and jump to the last page. There are 1400+ medal winners. The largest leaderboard (Buildr) shows 20K+. Virtually it’s less than 7% of players who get the medal. The higher the bracket – the larger get this gap.
Why?
1. Not everyone is able to participate in Buildr/INCIT – you have to be at least more creative than a washerman for that. Meaning: no choco scoops, no min scoops medal AND obviously no medals in top brackets at all. 2. Not everyone is able to play real-time card war in the last 30 minutes of round for time-zone/work schedule and other reasons. I.e. for me round ends at 3AM. Meaning: no medals at all in 3+ medals brackets. 3. Not everyone has got the best ping to server. Meaning: less scoops in solo run, no medals in the top brackets. P.S. Hey, guys, you talk about 37 scoops difference between solo and clan raid like it is absolutely obvious to get 72 vanilla every solo run!
So basically you guys like oligarchs – there’s only a small couple of you in the top brackets, fighting for the coveted 30-35+ medal. And all your “alts” problems are between top bracketers who already payed for 40+ alts and those are too greedy to pay.
Alts are paid for. Alts give people opportunity to: – waste some more precious time on their obsession – get pleasure playing other clbumes – AND YES, enhance their Dom stats in order to shorten the gap between low and top brackets. 5 alts are easy to get – even a kid could pay $12. 100 alts are much more – only a true power-hungry munchkin would do that.
So 5 alts limit is the best choice – it gives people more chances to reach the top, if they want it. After that, dear medal-hungry oldies, it would be YOUR job to give players interesting and fair competition in top brackets. Or else – no one would reach you for ages, and you’ll be damned to rip each other every week till the end of days. |
