For the Threadcast/Storms... Yeah I was thinking about that as well. The thing about it is that if you make a 5-thread threadstorm, you're already getting 5 points for that (5 threads)
Yes and we see it abused. So the net result is probably more headaches than it is worth.
Also if you have LeoAI bringing the ability to the plate, people will be using that instead of actively engaging.
