someone claiming to have been a top fire exalter talked about it in the comments here. no idea if its real or not but its the first person with details ive seen so far: https://saltminerising.tumblr.com/post/692308954367295488/huge-agree-about-the-fire-dom-thing-its-so
"Personally I didn't leave because the leads didn't trust our ability to rank on the leader boards, I left because they'd say they don't know what the community wants (I already suggested more events or higher incentive prizes). They don't really listen is what I'm saying
It's not even just the dom leads not trusting the flight to rank, it's the bigger exalters not being able to trust the leads to do anything
It's like why would I stay in a flight that does practically nothing? There's no reason I should be exalting hundreds of fodder a day for literally no reason other than I just enjoy it. Where is my nourishment my enrichment my fun enjoyable activity"
It’s real. I’m a fire member, and also the og smr shitstirrer and I recognize the username. All I can say is that at least 4 dom heavy folks left fire for earth or plague directly because fire is very ineffective at dom despite the size and energy fire has.
have there been any efforts to bring new blood to the dom team or is it hard to become a lead/too cliquey/something? sounds like it's ripe for new people, like lightning went through last year
Hmm, maybe? It seems they know people are upset, but there are no new Ashfall Alliance members I think. At least I hope that literally all of our dom heavy people leaving at once (and some likely to not come back) will be a bit of a wake up call.
Then again, can’t change too much right now because the fest is so close, but I’m hoping after something happens.
