while I don't have any statistics on the background behind this I believe it is a valid point.
Currently dominance gives players a bonus if they are dominating, inherently this also makes it more difficult for others to take over (and easier for them to stay on top)
I propose that the dominating flight have their exalt number reduced by 10% cumulatively each week in a row that they dominate.
This is also based on the assumption that the 'exalt ratio' is based on how many players are in that flight (eg X exalts / Y players)
additionally an elemental bonus / disability would be fun (eg water is strong against fire but weak against lightning)

This suggestion is actually more reasonable than any other suggestion I've seen by far. I like the fact that you need to exalt more dragons if you were the winning flight last week.
With the current 10% off on the market prices for the winning flight, I'm sure they have extra pocket money to buy unwanted hatchlings and exalt them ASAP. If this keeps on, probably there will be unending single flight dominance.
Besides, the more hatchlings you need to exalt, the more hatchlings you need to buy from the market. It's probably a good reason so people will keep on buying unwanted hatchlings on the AH.

Ohh, a good idea. I support this.

The elemental thing sounds interesting. How would it work, though?

similar to this thread:

But I like this idea much much more! I am going to put a link to this thread in the other!.
I like this idea a lot, actually. It functions on a similar level to a dominance cooldown, which was suggested elsewhere, but still makes it possible to maintain dominance if you continue to work hard for it.

Huge fan of this idea.
I suggested a cool-down on the other thread but honestly, i like this idea better. Instead of just cold-locking a flight out of competing after they win, they have a chance to hold it as long as they work hard.
Elemental thing could be fun too; but i'd imagine it would be VERY difficult to balance. ...but i do adore the idea. It'd be really neat to balance the elements like they are in the coliseum; with each element having three strengths and three weaknesses.

Looking to buy Plague themed i
tems, skins, accents and dragons!
I really like this, sounds like a great way to break monopolies on Dominance. Other ideas I've had or read involved capping or diminishing returns on how many dragons a player could exalt, but rich players can simply trade more exalt fodder to other willing members of their flights. This would affect the whole flight!
Right now if you have one or a few rich players, especially in flights that have lower populations, they can easily keep Dominance with their own bred hatchlings and an army of uglies they buy cheap off the AH. Then they make it up by re-selling cheap items with the Marketplace discount from Dominance. That could snowball and keep one flight dominant for far too long. This way it gets increasingly expensive until either it's too expensive to be worth it, or another flight can get a higher "score" compared to them even with less resources.
The other nice effect is that it gives people a reason to buy and exalt even more dragons, cutting farther back on the overflow in the AH.
Don't know if the elemental thing would be good or bad or just a hassle...right now it's a level field aside from things like wealth and participating members.

I like this idea too. Less harsh than a cutoff and my original ideas ^^;
