Yes, I mean with the current implementation, raid scoops don’t guarantee wins. Last season when people were interrupting all our raids and stuffing the brackets with their alts from their own solos, raiding wasn’t winning medals. So now we have to interrupt solos so that the top bracket doesn’t have 3-4 alts from the same person again, which is what was happening last season.

Well, I had once 3 alts in the top bracket and in another week 2. We still had to do some heavy raid interruption (both klan and solo raids) and most people outside E2B/BoD in the top bracket using all of their scoops for destruction to have a chance to win medals. I could win all medals in the week I had 3 alts in the top bracket, but it was decided only in the last minutes. Without raid interruption I’d have had no chance. Atm I have a lot of alts in the upper brackets, often 2 and sometimes even 3 alts in the same bracket, and yes, that’s an unfair advantage.

On the other hand my solo runs are often disrupted and the Board of Directors have alts in those brackets too and focus their attacks on me in the last hour of the dom round, so I think that balances it somewhat. I’m trying to medal with several alts not only because I like the challange, but also to keep my main out of the top bracket so that I can medal on him. It works for now but it isn’t easy to medal in more than one of the competitive brackets, else more people would do it. Still, the issue with multiple alts in the same bracket should be fixed.

I think that limiting the number of alts per account that can participate in a domination week would fix a lot of problems. Say you can play with only 4 alts. If you have more than 4 alts you’d have to decide with which alts you want to play once you get the first scoop. All other alts would be treated as cheaters (only for dom) and wouldn’t get any scoops and couldn’t be used for pushing forums.

People who have more than 4 alts could switch the alts they play with and save 12 visits, that’d be a big advantage, but they’d still be limited to a maximum of 160 visits per week. If they don’t use the visits of the alt that profits from the klan vanilla in the raid and use the visits to get solo vanilla/lemon/pistachio they’d have 120 visits to use for raids for the benefit of this alt. That is a lot.

Solo players probably need a pusher so they can only play seriously with 2-3 alts and it should be easy to prevent that they have more than one alt in the same bracket.
