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.

Ok well see my example above.. as I mentioned once the infrastructure is set up, we can make balance adjustments as needed.

That being said I see your point about alts. And to that effect alts won’t be able to get that many medals if we implement the other rule in the OP:

– Medals: The number of goals available be relative to the TOTAL number of scoops earned by all characters in a bracket. That way, the more active a bracket, the more medals there are to go around. And you can’t drop down to inactive brackets to get tons of easy medals. 0-50 (Most Scoops), 51-100 (Most Scoops, Highest Min Scoops), 101-150 (Most Scoops, Highest Min Scoops, Fibonacci), 151-200 (Most Scoops, Highest Min Scoops, Fibonacci Sequence, Most Scoops Destroyed), etc, etc..

Let’s say we do the above.. and we define the golden rule: “You no alts/mains can be in the same group” this could solve the problem and stop alts from dropping down to inactive brackets and getting 4 medals!

Or we could just get rid of ties again. I would consider ties a temporary fix while we adjust vanilla anyways.

Alts are definitely an issue, which is why I’m also considering limiting the number of alts that can participate in Domination. I don’t think that’s the best solution. But I don’t think that forcing alts into different brackets is either, cause you’ll get forced into inactive brackets where you can get every medal available!

Again, suggestions are welcome..
