Well, since you asked. The fundamental problem is the current linear ratio introduces an ironclad distortion into the market.
Larger flights pay more money for levels that are worth proportionally fewer dominance points.
Smaller flights pay less money for levels that are worth proportionally more dominance points.
There is no way to fix this without tackling the economic side of the problem, and/or without understanding that the reason dom battles have become expensive is that out-of-flight SPENDING by smaller flights is multiplicatively more powerful.
It's like if large flights were retail investors and small flights were private equity firms.
Granted the smaller flight does not always win. In a perfect world (gonna be honest) the smaller flight would always win under the current algorithm. The fact that it doesn't happen is a reflection of the challenge of organizing people. But therein larger flights also have significantly more organizational challenges -- herding many cats rather than fewer.
Larger flights can supposedly raise more money, but that fundraising ability also has a tendency to be linked to organizational effectiveness.
