Collusion in Arena

I really think the collusion needs to be dialed back. I have a strong team, reached number 1, and soon after was contacted by someone in the top 5 spots telling me that I wasn't authorized to stay there and unless I joined their discord chat to find out the rotation, they would make sure I would be pushed out of the top 10. Discussing with members of my guild, this is similar across multiple arenas. I find this frustrating as I'm not playing to be number 1, but when I'm farming for specific toons, and want to bump up for extra tokens, I'm immediatly attacked and pushed back out of the top 20. They layer the teens with whale teams that are beatable, but end up costing refreshes to even break back in the top 20.

They discussed payout times and getting in the rotation. Honestly I'm not interested working with others that way and coordinating, as I already do that with my guild for raids.

But to literally be told, and in turn attacked constantly in the last 30 mins and pushed down is ridiculous, considering I can and have beat users in the top 5 to gain the top spot.

I realize they are using third party tools to discuss this, but a simple solution would be if the same user is constantly in the top 3 spots, say 3 days in a row, they need to be moved to a harder shard. This would make the arena a ladder system, and wouldn't penalize players for following the rules.

I spend enough money on the game, unlocking toons, gearing them, as I enjoy the guild experience and collecting, but part of that need is squad tokens and some of those toons aren't available elsewhere, otherwise I probably wouldn't even play in arena.

I have spent a good deal of money on the game, but this is really causing me to not want to buy any more vaults. Please work on the arena and figure out a way to continue to move users around to prevent collusion.

  • If you're not playing to rank 1st., you don't want work with others in their rotation and you only play swuad arena for the tokens, then I'd suggest to simply avoid all players, who play to rank high, when it's their payout. Don't attack them, if you know, their payout is soon. Let them do their thing and they will let you do yours.

    Your suggestion to move players between shards is silly. If a player takes 1st everyday it's because he/she earned it by developing his/her roster and spending the time and crystals to stay there. Why should a player be moved simply because others didn't develop their rosters as well?

    If PvP should be PvP (your words) then simply take any player on at any time you please. You will see PvP and have your fun.
  • ... and you will soon enough have unlocked each and every toon in the arena shop. Don't worry too much about that.
  • A EA não fará nada para acabar com o conluio.
    Eles concordam, acham correto.

    Vamos parar de gastar dinheiro comprando cristais e vamos entrar em conluio, somente os ladrões ganham neste jogo, então seremos ladrões também.

  • EA will do nothing to stop collusion.
    They agree, they think it's right.

    Let's stop spending money buying crystals and let's go into collusion, only thieves win in this game, then we'll be thieves too.
  • Shard chats are an important tool many users use to eliminate the stress involved in the PO times. I held the top spot at my payout for the longest until it started getting busy. Then after about a week or 2 of sitting by the phone 30 minutes before payout fighting back and forth just got old quick. So I sent him a message and now we just rotate. It makes payouts so much better and I simply wouldn't be involved in arena if they did half the things you want. Keep in mind, this isn't PVP, it's players versus CG. ;)
