It's all about timing you know. :D
Haha.

There's a problem with this (for EA/CG) -- the top 10-15 (i.e., the people most likely to use crystals in arena) will have a very easy time colluding so that each of them ends up at #1 at some point during the window.
If I'm understanding correctly, you're saying it's your opinion that CG/EA is only making and going to make the maximum amount of money off people in the top 10-15 with the mechanics they way they are, and, additionally, the proposed 'highest rank achieved on a given day' solution would only make it easier for colluders to collude? Could you elaborate on how this would make it easier? I think it's safe to say most of us aren't utilizing the 777 strategy of refreshing whenever with no regard to how many crystals are spent. I think the vast majority within decent range of the top ranks are looking to efficiently earn as many crystals as possible at payout with the purpose of advancing in the game quicker. For whales like 777, this is of no concern. They could end up at negative hundreds of crystals net on any given day and care less (not saying negative net crystals is necessarily what happens with this approach). For true whales the crystals gained in arena are chump change compared to what they are spending anyway. Their goal is completely different.

I truly fight in arena any possible chance I get. Even when I'm in 1st, so I can get practice with my new mod setups against what people think are "The New Meta". I don't care about payout times, Mine or others. I don't care how many times I refresh, battles or timer. I just don't want anyone getting and staying in first. But all this is due to rivalry between me and pretty much the rest of the top 10. And probably a few salty players who don't like to see droids in 1st.
This is very interesting to me. I hardly considered this as something somebody could be doing because no matter how much money I have I would never consider doing this myself. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. There could very well be somebody on my shard with the same mentality.

This is about to get gud. @777 and @SnakesOnAPlane do you want me to go get a ruler for the two of you? :D
Can you imagine if this game had a play-by-play viewer where users could watch whales dual it out. Now that'd be entertaining!

Why do you always tag dbagger...I mean jbagger? Can you do anything by yourself? And a self-proclaimed whale is a dbagger 99% of the time. Im serious, if I was in your shard, I would hurt your feelings spanksonaplane.
This is interesting to me too. Might there, perhaps, be a distinction between the psychology of a self-proclaimed whale and a silent one?

"Ambiguously Gay Duo"?
Rex + Sun Fac?
I suppose that would be the p2p Ambiguously Gay Duo lol! Nice. I hadn't really realized there are two such pairs. I was referring to the f2p Ambiguously Gay Duo of Biggs and Wedge. I know f2p players can acquire both SunFac and Rex through shipments, but shard shipment purchases are not efficient enough for me to justify spending crystals on, so I deem them out of reach.

Maybe CG could do this... If two players from different shards wanna fight, there could be a tool to ask the player to duel by using his code number or something like that, it could cost ally points to propose the challenge as well... It would be the closest thing to PvP yet, since you can propose the challenge to fight the AI, but then a score could be settled between the players to see who wins more and stuff.... Just a thought though...
Yes. And I want to observe in real-time, just like a spectator sport lol.

How bout we just move all the 1 spot 24 hrs a day players to a special server.... to find out who is really #1?
Do you think they would make even more money if people could pay crystals to do this? Actually...don't answer that. As OP I feel some responsibility for keeping things civil lol :D
