Not sure if this has been talked about before but I feel like it is an issue that deserves a look at. When it comes to the top 10 of arena things become very competitive. Some have worked around this by working with their shardmates to plan when to take a certain place and when to avoid them. While I feel like this negates the essence of arena I don't mind a little cooperation to get better rewards. The problem is that 7 of the top 10 are in the same guild in my shard, meaning that I'd never be able to get to the top due to constantly being attacked from all of them. Is there anything that should be done about this? If so what do you think could 'fix' this?
There are really only 2 was to deal with this kind of situation:
1) join em - either their guild or find their shard chat and get in on the action
2) beat em - develop your own "coalition of the willing" from those other players in your shard who aren't part of the in-crowd and fight it out with the "cool kids"
The devs have not, in many previous threads and related conversations, made any effort to denounce this type of coordination among shards which can only mean that they accept, or even condone, such organization. Do not expect some game wide "fix." You need to come up with your own (or accept never making the top 10).
