So now raiders are making a sacrifice and putting themselves in a precarious position by raiding – for 37 extra scoops – instead of playing their alts? Please. There is no sacrifice on your part because you are very aware that it is pretty solidly impossible to get alts into the top bracket. You can’t have it both ways, so you choose to make it sound like you are living on the edge. It makes no difference how many alts I play, whichever alt lands in one particular bracket might as well be invisible.

No, I’m saying the proposed changes would result in a 37 scoop lead for raiders, which is not a big enough lead to justify a raid that takes 2 hours and will see some interruption over that period, even if it is unintentional.

Good lord, I should have just made GO do epic freaking raids then you’d be complaining that there was a problem with raiding and couldn’t something be done so the alt escalation could stop. For now, I just have to say wow, looking at the top bracket right now you sure know how to make those 37 scoops work for you!

And again, the 37 scoops lead refers to the proposed situation, not the current situation. And I don’t care if you raid, but I thought your whole point was that it’s ever so much more honorable to play “solo”. Which, I don’t buy is really solo or honorable when what you’re trying to do is stuff the upper brackets with alts, which again, is just about as effective as raiding. In some cases, it is more effective than raiding, and still uses alts. But you seem to be fine with that particular use of alts. That screws over many more altless players than does klan raiding, since many alts with many solo scoops are distributed over a number of brackets. And no, it is not impossible to get alts into the top bracket. That’s exactly what you guys did last season. The best way of preventing that is from solo interruption, which is what we have been doing.
