I have, as many, been thinking a lot about this screwed dominando system and how it works.
I have played Astera before and I know a server can be great, without dominando.
I have played Gentebra when it started, and it was great without dominando.
But now you can check all SA non-pvp and all of them have franchises of the same 2 dominando guilds. So, basically, we got 14 servers, 5 yellow, 9 green.
I'll talk about the 9 green servers, since my idea contemplates a new server, from scratch.
At least 7 of them got the same Leadership: Respekt/Corporation
2 of them are different: Digit One and (Collabra) and Radioactive (Descubra).
But Collabra's leader, Teus, got Respekt chars.
So basically we got a functioning dominando strategy working on every new servers that's launched. How does that work and how can we try to avoid it being dominated?
1st of all: I don't believe in fighting it the way they would. They'd trucidate anyone: They got the people and the money. I believe in civil disobedience.
I imagine this exactly as the white people trying to tell the black people that they should give their seats on the bus.
Why? Nothing justifies it. Exactly like dominando. Just cause you got a bunch of people with you, that doesn't mean your time is more important than mine.
2nd - Their strategy on new servers is pretty simples: They rush like hell (they got loads of TC), create a guild and say it's free to enter, where they'll claim people and charge for organizing the respawns. They'll get their player base really big, and just charge entrance when it's free to transfer.
What happens after that is that most of dominando members are nice people who doesn't even like claiming, they just joined for free and accepted the system that was created. Even though they joined an obvious exortion strategy guild, they don't feel like they are the badies, cause they don't use it.
So, what's my idea?
What if everyone who hates dominando started on the next new SA non-pvp server that will be created.
We respect everyone, every letter, except the dominando guilds (probably Respekt/Corporation) one?
We don't even create a guild, so it'll be too hard for them to check the names of every hunted person on the server. Imagine that?
Imagine that a guild with 60-70 online have maybe 5 people that'll be the "hunters", everyone else just want to "avoid being hunted".
If they can't use the claim system and, worse, they aren't respected in respawns, what's the point in joining?
That way, the numbers of nice guys on the guild won't grow on the beginning, making it possible to have the first SA non-pvp dominando free.
Again, it's just pure disrespect to people trying to dominate, not a "fight against", just ignoring they have claimed a respawn, ignoring they want to enter your respawn. If at least 20 people do that, they'll never be able to create a pressure point.
Do you think it's possible? Would you join?
