Ok, so about a year ago I finally got my arena team good enough to compete for the too spot in my payout. Sure enough I was contacted within a few days telling me about the shard and the rotation and so on, but there were too many players in the rotation already and no spot for me. They said they would "allow me" to be in top 20 twice a week. I though it was a joke. Naturally I said hell no and so they all attacked me whenever they could... Fast forward to the new time change. I spend a few days looking to see what times everyone went to and saw that from 10pm till 4am where open. I started playing at the 10pm time and within a week they all found where I went and are now all attacking me during my payout to keep me out. Sometimes I can make it into top 10. They are atting me out of their new times just to F with me. HELP!

The whole shard chats and targeting players that don't comply needs to be addressed, that is what's ruining the spirit of competition in arena. Being told that "hey you can only be 20-10 this week, maybe next week top 10".. that's ridiculous.Players who are intentionally abusing a flawed system to their benefit need to be suspended or banned. Easy solution is to not show player names or allow the other players to view anything about their opponent, that way they have no way of contacting the other party or arranging "ganking" groups.

Speaking as a member of a shard chat, this type of patio is disgusting. The whole point of shard chats is to maximise fun and minimise frustration for everyone, not form an exclusive club which gets to dictate who's at the top.I'm not sure if there's a case to be made for harassment here, especially if they're going out of their way to hit you.

But shard chats are good because people in them say they are!

I don't think they harass you on purpose. Unless you been impolite or annoying as hell during their payouts... But imagine a group of people that know each others for a while by chatting everyday. Then when they climb up they have to choose between attacking you or their shard mate they know... They will obviously choose to attack you. If their group is large enough that's probably why it feels so harrassing, because they probably don't have much choices left when climbing up. You can either join them or live with it until CG chooses to change the shard system, which they said they're happy with.

"Rightful position" what a laugh. If they are sniped from that position how is it rightfully theirs??

Being attacked by my shard in my new payout time.

People should be banned for their "adoration clubs". Arena dhould be fixed in that way that nobody really see the names, ally code and guilds. It should be fair fight instead of this clown circus which ee got right now. Bunch of ....

Yea I agree they but how can they change it? People can discreetly communicate over discord or another app so there’s no proof they are teaming if they were to ban it.

I really liked Rhunne's proposal:

They could even assign one out of three possible opponent teams at random. A bit like Galactic War, where you have to play the cards you're dealt. Maybe let us choose a separate defense team so we can pick the ideal counter team for every match without having to worry about defense.

Defeatist answer imo

Not really. He pissed off a group of people that rotate the payout in his arena. He pissed them off so they all go and attack him. Happens all the time and people get pushed way out of the top payouts.

Only thing he can do is either form a group of people to go after all of them. (Not going to happen) Or he can spend a lot of extra crystals to get a higher payout. (Seems counter productive.)

This “group of people “ that removed the challenge of actually competing in area to game the payout? Asking for a friend

I wasn't trying to **** them off. That was my payout time and they didnt want me in their "club" am I just supposed to not compete? They dont own the game. And yes they are absolutely going out of their way to keep me as low as possible. Theres usually 2 a night taking turns battling me. So when my time is up it always says "someone else is battling you" it's easy to see who does it because you switch ranks with them

I cant believe a group can be that precious to stop you getting in the top 20. Top 5 sure but top 20.... wow.

The fact they are still going after you when you have shifted your payout is pretty sad. I hope nobody from my guild is part of that blockade

It's ridiculous, yes, but there's nothing to fix. I'm just happy that my shard chats don't behave like this.
