AYRT Except that the same smr also had commentators saying that some group in Earth was also actively exalting, so your comparison is off: it's not "placing of pushing flight vs non-pushing" but "placing of pushing vs also somewhat pushing". No matter how much I believe in the need to change the dom formula, this belief in "automatic placing" will always be worse than even current situation. And also Arcane placed 6 or 7 times this year, so "woe is Arcane" is also not true.
Another issue: Those Earth players are never not pushing. If you don't have a buy thread, they are exalting. They almost singlehandedly made Earth go into Water vs Earth with the penalty for having dome the previous week.
It's not true pushing. It's just how some of them play.
