Solo vanilla can also be interfered with and is much more costly (you’d lose 8 scoops with every interference, you only lose 1 with klan raiding). Also, maybe raid limit of 10 isn’t the right number, maybe it’s 15.. once the logic is built, we can tweak the balance.

There is always the option to get scoops through other methods, and there’s nothing stopping anyone from doing that now, so I would consider that a different discussion. At this point it’s fair to say that raiding vanilla has too much of an advantage over solo vanilla. That is the problem I am trying to address. If you have other suggestions speak now. These changes are in the pipe and will get implemented in due time.

Alts in the same bracket is another issue which perhaps requires more thought, however with more people playing, and with a more competitive chance for solo players, chances are alts won’t have the medals to end up in the same bracket as the main. And if they do, then they’d likely have to keep getting medals to stay in the top group anyways.

Yes, solo vanilla can be and is interfered with, but it’s much more difficult to watch for many people doing solos quickly at different times and interrupt them than it is to catch a raid that lasts for several hours. It’s hard not to notice a klan raid, but you have to pretty much stalk somebody if you want to interrupt their solo vanilla.

The other methods of gaining scoops I only brought up in order to demonstrate why it wouldn’t really be effective to raid with such a small advantage coming from vanilla. If you can make up the difference with other methods and gain the advantage of stuffing brackets with your alts, that is a better strategic choice than raiding.
