First off, this is mainly a response to Sylvandyr's thread Dom - Average active exalters over time, but I feel it's too off topic, and should be its own thread.
I do think this idea would work best with Sylvandyr's idea compared to how dom is currently calculated.
To combat the negativity towards casual exalters (and free loaders), I think we could have a point system (not a shop) for exalted dragons/dom.
For each dragon you exalt, you get the normal payout and dom bonus, but you also get one point. It doesn't matter if the dragon is lvl 1 or 25, you still get 1 point.
To use these points, you go to the dom page, and there would be a button to use X of the points you have (you don't need to use all of them).
These would basically function as exalting another lvl 1 dragon from your account.
To prevent players from trying to snipe dom at the last minute before rollover, the points you use will be applied next rollover (so I use my points Tuesday, they'll be applied on Wednesday), or applied at the start of the next week could also work. This is to give other flights a chance to respond.
How this would help is that a player who exalts 1 dragon can still apply 1 point, or save it for another dom, so there's a bit less reason to be upset with them (especially since the points will normally be stockpiled for pushed).
Problems this would cause is players stockpiling for a long time suddenly using all their points, and other flights not being able to catch them. I personally don't think this would be a huge issue since dom heavy/savvy flights are already hard to catch.
EDIT:
I wasn't as clear as I meant to be...
The current dom system and points would not change. If you exalt a lvl 6 dragon, you get the normal payout and dom bonus, but you will get an additional point you can spend immediately or later on.
This is an addition to dom, not a replacement.
***
The dom bonus these add would still be affected by the number of active players per flight. 500 points spent in Earth would have a bigger impact than 500 point spent in Shadow.
