1) Cluster eta bonuses were not only restricted to defence in later rounds. Rounds 21 and 22 at least saw reduced eta for attacking in-cluster
2) I like your incontrovertible statement with absolutely no supporting evidence whatsoever. Good stuff. I'll claim the opposite and offer just as much evidence.
In general this would be very different due to the fact that in-cluster defence has been coded out though. And if 20 odd galaxies can't team up to whack the top gals in their cluster with reduced eta if they're just farming them around the clock they're not going to be active enough to do anything anyways. The key to the game isn't molly coddling low-ranked players, it's encouraging them to become involved in whatever way you can and offering them the opportunity to do so.
