I think there are some misconceptions about the evils of shard chats out there.
Even before I was in a shard chat, I would avoid attacking people I perceived to be in my payout, those who seemed active at the same time as me. It wasn't collusion; it was intelligent behavior to maximize my rewards. In turn I hoped that those people wouldn't snipe me in the hour before payout, because it really only worked to hurt us all. I also saved my attacks for the hour before my payout, to avoid screwing with people in payouts before mine. All this just seemed like the logical best way to play it for everyone in the shard, to maximize everyone's rewards including mine.
Now that I am in a shard chat, that same behavior is happening, just in a more organized way. I don't doubt there are horrible shard gangs out there that lock everyone out of the top 10 all day, but I really don't think that's how most shard chats are.
Also, I wasn't capable of taking advantage of the shard chat until I had a good enough team to climb to the top. When I was hovering around top 50 and couldn't beat the top 20 teams, no chat would have helped me.
