Near as I can tell, there’s maybe one or two dozen people who actually compete, and thousands who don’t. So yes, my goal is to increase the numbers. If 2000 people suddenly start playing at the cost of 20 who were and no longer do, I’d consider than a win for the site.

And how many people don’t participate on flamebate? Where’s the plan to make that better? I know this is focused on domination, but if the goal is to increase endgame participation, you’re only effectively trading off.

I don’t (generally) enjoy flamebate. I don’t generally enjoy forumbuildr. Domination is the one piece of endgame that I do enjoy and you’re really all but taking that away from me. I enjoy the raiding, I enjoy the competition, I enjoy the cutthroat nature of it.

If you’re talking about drastically altering dom (changing where people are seeded based on scoop counts), what’s the possibility of people participating in raid vs. non-raid brackets? I guess it’d probably be two klans warring with each other, but there’s got to be some better solution than taking away the one piece of endgame that’s strategy based instead of roleplay or creativity based. (yes, if you cap my vanillas to the numbers I’ve seen thrown around and my raid abilities, you’ve taken away my fun)
