It's been reaching this point for a few years. Dom battles started getting really expensive with more onsite players, because flights need more exalts to win and more players sell dragons to them. There's also the dom culture that kept asking for bigger raffles and higher payouts. It just isn't feasible to accept 200k+ dragons at a loss. I've heard stories of attendants who were down 40mT of their personal funds after accepting dragons from big battles, and I can only imagine the sorry state of dom banks.
