All this talk about trying to balance solo vs. raiders. Bah.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Why can’t we just have separate brackets for soloers and raiders? Then no balancing is needed.
Players would default to being solo the first week, then every subsequent week they default to whatever they were the previous week. Before they earn any scoops they can toggle between solo or raiding, but once they earn their first scoop they’re stuck in whatever option they had checked, for the week. Players are put into the appropriate bracket on first scoop earned, and boom, no more worries about balancing solos vs raiders.
Technology’s in place for much of this now, with the “enable/disable” option. “solo/raiding” could use the same underlying code. All that’s needed is bracket designation.
I’m not convinced that this is the best way, but I’ve certainly considered it and will keep it in mind. Thanks for the input.
