Agreed, but this is, and always has been true.. but if you look at the top choco earners, they aren’t the one’s dominating the game.. the vanilla raiders are. If we nerf vanilla scoops and choco (or other scoop earners) become the kings, we’ll make adjustments to keep them in check.

Again, other suggestions/alternatives are welcome. That’s why I post these types of changes publicly.

No, I’m not saying that choco earners will dominate the game — it’s just that with a small difference between klan and solo vanilla totals, and given that the difference will be then rather easily overcome with other scoop gaining methods, I’m not convinced that the effort, time, and risk of doing a klan raid will be worth it for those in the top brackets. I think it will be better to have several alts in a bracket with slightly lower scoop totals than one character who participates in klan raids. Once you are able to have alts in your bracket, it will be much easier to keep those alts medaled, especially with the availability of ties. It will still be all about who has the most alts, but the visits will just be used differently. If klan vanilla is nerfed without nerfing bracket stuffing, that doesn’t really do anything to change the issue of using alts to win; it just moves the problem around.

I think it would be great to see more klan raiding, but I don’t really see how klan raiders will be able to compete with those who solo with many alts.
