Okay, but now this goes back to the issue Ricket mentioned earlier. If there is no limit to interruption but gains from raids are further limited, why would a klan set themselves up to be someone’s scoop source if the only advantage they’re getting from raiding is 30-something scoops, bumuming no interruption? Almost any coordinated interruption and a couple of unintentionally interrupted visits would quickly destroy that lead. I suppose you could figure out how to best use that mechanic to your advantage, but if you want to encourage more raiding by people who don’t do it now, I don’t think that will work. I don’t bother interrupting klan raids, since if it’s a raid with a lot of people, that is a pretty stable situation and they can recover quickly, not making it worth it. And I really don’t want to interrupt and discourage less experienced groups from raiding. But if you get a reward from interruption, people will just pounce on whatever group finally gets it together to make a go of it. I think that would be pretty discouraging.

You get half of the reward though, not the full reward. If your strategy is to be that jackbum who only interrupts, you’re SERIOUSLY limiting your potential.

And if we have the limit in place on how many alts participate in dom to begin with, it’s not a particularly good strategy.

That said, I wouldn’t mind seeing it set so that with the limit on alts that participate, the other alts somehow don’t get counted when they pwn forums for interruption. You should still be able to pursue the peens for streaks and everything else, but you a) wouldn’t be able to help -or- interrupt raids and b) don’t get the scoop reward that goes with the peens. Kinda half-cheater style.
