No support. This would make exalting dragons more difficult and as a result drive dragon prices even lower as less and less dragons would leave the market while people would still continue breeding insane amount of dragons to flood the market.

Only way that implementing this would make sense is that they would reduce the breeding even more -add longer breeding cooldowns and/or reducing the maximum number off eggs. Or putting a limit on how many times you can breed your dragons.

Also, how is this relevant in the current economy (the thread IS an year old, I understand it was relevant back then but seeing how we have 400+ pages of lower than 6000 treasure costing dragons, this would kill the market once and for all) ? o__O

I was honestly surprised at how many people were supporting considering how much this would wreck the economy until someone mentioned that an average starter dragon "goes for 15k to 20k" and I checked the date. Now? The dragon market is flooded, prices are rock bottom, the economy is a mess because supply so far outpaces demand - and you want to [i]limit[/i] the only sink we have?

I don't exalt much since I'm picky about the dragons I pick up. I don't want the people who do care about dominance to suffer just because people like me don't exalt.

Well, the topic might be a year old, but since it's been revived I must as well toss in my opinion for other people who will undoubtedly come for a look.

NO SUPPORT.

The main reason we have Exalting is to remove dragons from the site, and there are still WAY TOO MANY. Dragons are being sold for 3500 and 4000. If a limit like this was to be imposed, it would simply flood the market even more, causing prices to drop to horrendously ridiculous lows. And since we couldn't just mass-Exalt the droves of dragons clogging our lairs, we'd soon have our lairs maxed out and pretty much be unable to breed more dragons. That's...just not feasible. And you can't say "give the dragons away" because EVERYONE'S lairs would be full, and on top of that, why would anyone want someone else's dragons when they're trying to clear out their own lairs?

Exalting for profit would become non-existent. I CANNOT and WILL NOT support mangling one of the only ways of getting money left on this site. In fact, Exalting bonuses need to be INCREASED in order to make it more appealing to people to Exalt dragons instead of flooding the market with them.

Dom works by percentage of dragons Exalted per active Clan in each Flight. If you make it so everyone can only Exalt 5 dragons a day, the percent is still going to work the way it always has. This limit wouldn't make it more fair; it would essentially cause the percentage to be equal for Flights actively pushing, and that doesn't solve anything. In fact, it makes it LESS fair. If a Flight is willing to fight for Dom they're going to give it they're all. Dom pushes aren't casual and if Flight A is willing to put forth the work and effort of Exalting 500 dragons a day, they should get Dom as opposed to Flights who just want to Exalt 5 or 6 a day. And you can't use the "smaller Flights have less to work with" excuse because as I mentioned, it's percent of dragons Exalted per active Clan. Two Dragons Exalted from Light Flight might contribute 10 points towards Dom, while one dragon from Earth Flight would be worth the same amount. So Dom pushes are already balanced and don't require a limit like this.

And finally, if you don't want a dragon used as Exalt fodder, don't sell it at fodder price. While it's possible ANY dragon can be Exalted regardless of price, putting things below 15k makes them fair game to people who Exalt for profit. Most people price their dragons so low because they want to get rid of them one way or the other. Once a dragon leaves your lair (permanently, not in the sense of like joint nests or things like that), you have no say over what happens to it. At the risk of sounding rude, if you don't like it then simply don't sell them in the AH. Use the Sales and Wanted sections to find people who'll actually want and keep them. Don't have the patience to wait? Then accept the fact that the dragon market is so flooded right now that dragons really have no worth. Coatls are being sold for the same price as Commons and in some cases Plentifuls, or being Exalted outright. People are trying to give dragons away for basically nothing and having a hard time of it. The LAST thing we need is to have even MORE dragons clogging the site because they can't be removed.

Seconding Elai. Exalting was something that the Admins intended for us to use, otherwise they would have never implemented it.
