You’re missing the issue.. with enough alts, there aren’t enough active brackets to make this fair. If I have 20 alts, and I end up with 2 in every of the 10 brackets the 10th bracket (bumuming it’s inactive) will be an easy win for 4 medals to whichever alt is in there. So saying “fix empty brackets” doesn’t really help.

You’re missing the issue. It’s much easier to bring a lot of alts into the highest brackets when there are those empty ones, they almost guarantee that a dedicated player sweeps them. It’s most of the time not very difficult for a good dom player to medal in the mid-level brackets, but it’s not easy to do so if you are at the same time playing in half a dozen other brackets.

If you have alts in empty brackets you can build up your scoops early and don’t have to worry about them in the last decisive hour. In the mid-level bracket are fewer players active, but if they are as big or better somewhat bigger than the highest brackets there’s still enough competition so that you have to fight for your medals. If there is competition, even from not-so-good players they will probably beat you if you aren’t active, and even the best players can’t play his cards in the last minutes in 6, 8 or 10 brackets at the same time.

In the last season it was a good tactic to get only 1-3 medals with a new alt in the lowest brackets and then with a bit luck 4 in the next week et voila: a new alt in the higher brackets. So again: Please fix the empty brackets. Log in to see images!

You’re probably right.. maybe we could impose a klan size.. 10 max per klan.. first come, first served.. the other klannies would be in the solo brackets. That could work and would make things VERY interesting IMO.

I’m not sure how this would work out. I guees the other klannies could still join the raid and get scoops for the solo brackets? But why separate solo and klan brackets then in the first place? Brackets for klans would only be interesting if there are enough klans to have competition but why would a klan of not so experienced players join if they have better chances to medal in the solo brackets with the advantage that raid-vanilla gives?

Also this would punish big klans with a lot of newbies and reward small groups of experienced players, especially small groups with a lot of alts if nothing is done about it. Is that really your intention?
