AR is more useful than you think. People feel more free to say things on anon than on site. You stand to gain more by looking into a complaint posted here than ignoring or not even knowing the complaint existed.
When I was on the Dom team I kept an eye on AR. There was even info here that tipped us off to our opponent hoarding mercs as prehoards. We would have never known otherwise.
Back when I was on a dom team, I kept a super close eye on AR (and DR, but to a lesser extent), especially right before, during, and after pushes. People are a lot more honest when there's complete anonymity than when you try to do forum polls or even polls on google or whatever. It made it pretty easy to see complaints and respond to them in a timely manner.
There are probably people on dom teams that aren't on AR, but in all likelihood, there's probably at least a couple people from each flight's dom team that at least check in on AR from time to time.
No, we have a rule about saying unsubstantiated shit like "So and so steals dragons" or "I hear dragonuserx is a Nazi." Saying "I know members of a Dom team are on here" isn't the same class at all, because it's not leveling an accusation against a specific user.
That aside: FFS, do you think it's rare? We've had members of other Dom teams openly leave comments. With their names and everything.
In order to make it fair we should simply get rid of raffles and PBs, then the ratio would work as intended. But no one would agree to that because everyone wants to make money.
You say that like raffles and public buys don’t exist as tactics people came up with to win. “How can we get more dragons? Ooh, I know, what if we had a raffle?!”
FFS I am so tired of people thinking these things are only for greedy people.
Do you think Earth wouldn't agree to "no raffle" rule if the other flight suggested it, then? I remember them pushing without raffles before - think they were first to do so, even? Not in a conquest, but still.
However, it's considered bad to fight without one, mostly because of the backlash the fighting flights would get from the community.
Light literally conquested recently with no raffle. So it can be done. Gonna admit i'm surprised nobody complained about that though tbh, but it definitely can be done. Although they weren't in a battle against anyone, so maybe that was why.
Sometimes I really feel like switching my flight to one more dom orientated because I love the couple times a year my flight actually seems to really push. Dom is fun!
BUT I have a lot of lore invested in my current flight and the majority of my breeding pairs have coloring that specifically work with my flights eye color.
1000% sick of Eliminate becoming rarer. Seen people say that FR Staff wants people to stop relying on Eliminate so much, but that ship sailed a long time ago. They had years to modify the Coli/Stones to make another viable build, but they didn't. Making something harder for newbies/more expensive for the everyone because you don't like something you never fixed is ridiculous, they need to suck it up and accept that it's too late to change it now
I know Plague and Earth agreed to some No Mercs/No raising prices fight; I'm not sure on the specific agreement but Earth smoked Plague, I don't think Plague ever flipped
