Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

Re: The problem with dominance

[(Anonymous)]

This is why I feel, and I have said this before, that a much better approach to 'fixing' dom, at least in short term (I believe that to truly fix dominance, it has to be a completely new 'game' so to speak. I don't think the way it is set up now can truly be 'fixed' or 'fair'), is to incentivize people exalting their own dragons.

Encourage people to exalt their own dragons, instead of sending off to a raffle or something like that, and it may also encourage people to get involved with their own dominance teams.

It would, hopefully, lessen the OOF support issues, but also hopefully get people who aren't interested in dominance now, interested.

Bonus: even if those players don't become interested in dominance, if they DO become interested in exalting their own dragons, they are more likely to 'contribute' to dom efforts, without needing to be a part of the team, they just need to exalt dragons.

However, even with this being done, and this is the other half of the whole 'dom issue' (that the proposals above wouldn't actually help at all), this wouldn't touch the people that change flights for dom culture. (or exalting culture).

That is the other half of why Earth is so successful, as said, because they are known as the 'dom capital' of Sornieth, and so players flock there to get in on that. However, because most people consider their aesthetic boring (sorry Earth, if it was more about minerals and gemstones, I have the feeling you would be a much larger flight, but sadly, most of it seems to be brown, brown, dark brown, oh look, more brown), people who aren't that interested in the dom benefits (but not actively contributing) aren't moving there, to inflate the numbers.

Most other flights don't have that issue. I know that many people consider water to have boring aesthetics as well (and in some ways, I agree, as there are a great many colorful fish and water plants), so it is natural that they are also one of the smaller flights. But the bigger flights, like shadow and lightning, tend to have more desired 'aesthetics', both in colors, and actual lore. This means that when they become known as 'dom flights', such as Light when I first joined, players who want the benefits, but don't want to help, are much more willing to join those flights, leading to high active numbers, but fewer active exalters.

This is why I don't think dom can be truly fixed, because how do you 'fix' the issue of flight changes?

I personally think the fix to Dom is... Remove all flight wide benefits. Let it be a king of the hill match with personal rewards for getting involved.
