The main purpose of the arena is to battle one another for varying rewards based on how high you rank, is it not? Forming shard chats to organize payout winnings are for people who either can't handle fighting, have weak rosters, want things handed to them or any combination of these things. It's pretty sad people need to resort to this when you think about it. No, I don't place #1 all the time but at least I work for my rank instead of having it handed to me like some people.
If you can't earn it repeatedly, you don't deserve to receive the top rewards repeatedly.
Just my opinion.
The point of shard chats isn't to try and scam your way into first. I am able to take 1st all day long, but I prefer not having to lose crystals taking it back from the jerk who likes to snipe 1st at other people's payouts.
I'm not saying this system isn't abused, but in 99% of the cases, you have 20 people who can take top spots. Either you can all get less and waste crystals attacking each other, or you can coordinate and not attack outside your payout. Everyone wins except EA, and isn't that the real battle?
I'm genuinely trying to see your point but I am having a tough time. This is not meant in a sarcastic way, either. If I am truly battling for a top spot in a PVP aspect of a game, why would I want to give my opponents any sort of edge? This goes back to the part I mentioned about some people not being able to handle the battling part. To me, that is why arena exists - to battle each other and earn your keep (not just have it handed over to you).
Trust me, if you work hard enough on your squad, you won't need to spend much on refreshes. Yes, you will get beat but, that goes back to my entire point. If you have to spend that much on refreshes to get back to the top spots each day, ya really don't deserve the top rewards, in my opinion. ;)
