I've never chased the meta. Just tired of the same old junk where people form alliances to make sure they hold their spots in arena.
My favorite part about the arena alliances is the folks who pretend that they're so good at the game because they take #1 every day thanks to 20 other people agreeing to leave them alone and not compete against them.
That's not how it works.
So you now know how every shard or shard chat works because you are in one?....... I agree with these guys, it's so out of hand in my shard that they actually formed a guild.....
The Arena co-op is working as intended. Same as in HoDA. Once a dev was asked why it was allowed. He replied because that is part of war, alliances are formed. Sux, but it's true.
Well, that's a pretty crummy outlook on it, because it isn't war, it's arena..... Arena is where gladiators or prize fighters face eachother.....
Haha, its funny 3 of the guys in my shard just joined the same guild so maybe I should start worrying.
My shard is different, we let any one play, if anything I've just had a chat with them today as they are inviting every tom **** and harry who has a G11 Palpa team in it and I don't want to share my payout with people who have half my roster.
The palpa meta made it VERY VERY easy for any F2P to take rank 1, it's never been better in SWGOH for f2p players.
If your shard is doing that it's probably because you've done something to them to blacklist you, gotta live with the consequences sunshine.
How can I "do something to punish" someone I have never met or spoken to?...... That's pretty odd..... It's a game, and if you can't build a strong team, strategize and fight smart to get to the top instead of relying on others to get you there, then you shouldn't be there...... The fact that you have a 7* g12 CUP means nothing.....
But you can't do that, you still have to beat the people at the top to get to rank 1. The difference is they leave you alone 60 minutes before your payout and in exchange, you do the same thing to them.
There's nothing wrong with that, if anything it shows a good display of solidarity and humanity, uniting for a common goal (crystals) and working together, it's actually a really beautiful thing!
It makes me wonder what kind of person are you if you see something wrong with this....
I'm the kind of person who would leave someone alone at their payout, but I'm not part of their little click, so no idea when their payout is..... I have no issue with a "hey, I won't hit you at xx time, please don't hit me at xx time"..... I do have issue with "Hey, who does this Bubba guy think he is breaking into top 20, he isn't in our boy band, everyone get this guy"..... We can message anyone in game now, so no real need for these types of tactics....
I had a week long debate about this recently on here. Here's what I learnt:
- the cartels are not cartels because cartel members repeatedly told me they aren't in cartels. They just cooperate to ensure only their members are at #1, which is completely different
- if you question the above you get told you are nefarious / uncooperative / the bad guy / untrustworthy / a newbie
- and they may bring this to life by comparing you to someone indiscriminately shooting people in public
- I'm not playing the game properly because I see the arena as 1v1 pvp, and just enjoy my rank being as high as possible at any given time of day, not just at 1859 GMT
It was very revealing, and I learnt a lot about myself, and more importantly my poor life choices that led me to this point.
