I’m not by any means saying it needs to stay in place, I’m saying, what will stop leeching? You shouldn’t be able to get scoops for nothing. And the no alts rule has been like it is for some time, the recent changes shouldn’t have affected any klan that used alts to raid, because they couldn’t Log in to see images!

The alts couldn’t gain scoops, but they could (and very much DID) affect the scoop count. This week is the first week where, for the most part, alts play a severely limited part in klan raiding. Klans (especially the smaller ones, and lately Brainfreeze as well) used to be able to put the mains in a raid for the scoops and use the army of alts to pwn the forums. This left the mains (for people with the alts) with their visits to run as a solo later.

I honestly think the 5 alt limit and the 13 alt raids will stop a lot of leeching – at least from the people who aren’t participating at all. But if we all have the same 5 alt limit and can only join one raid per day, I don’t see the harm in letting a smaller group of people put a main and x number of alts in a raid and going to town. It’s going to result in a decreased number of scoops and will remain finite.
