Fake Arena

Yes, it's a mafia plain and simple. If you are lucky you get to play with nice human beings who will share.
Or if you are unlucky like me, you'll eventually get bullied to the point where you abandon a 2-3 year old account and start all over again.

The best model for a competitive arena is to take an hourly snapshot and only allow the positions of players to move at the end of the hour. This would allow multiple people to reach 1st place without any kind of obstruction.

When cheaters get involved in squad chat things just become impossible. I left the "mafia" when cheaters were invited in. That's when the trouble started, since I'd been the one responsible for getting all the other cheaters banned, the ones who CG didn't ban decided to grief me.

Squad/Fleet Arena became Fake.
It´s clear: People are struggling for Rank 1, because the game becomes even more elaborate.

Chat Organization, the great solution!

"Join now on discord, be no more opponent!
But if the Group is full, you´re dead." ;)

This method has destroyed Squad/Fleet Arena. Fighting always the same players in top 100 makes it difficult to compete. Is this even legal? And also of course it is hard to track players that are such abusive. But also logic, when players don´t rotate they will always ally with others in benefit. For myself, I hate Fleet Arena because of that. So many crystals slip away. The opponents only attack you because you are not in the mafia. When 15 Players aim to knock you away from the top rank, that´s pretty trash and intends me to leave. You are in complete disadvantage. Also players do attack the last 5 minutes before payout time to keep 1st Rank.

Example:
Player (1st in Fleet Arena) attacks Player 2 (2nd in Fleet Arena)
just to safe rewards and to push people to maximum 3rd place (if you are not already 2nd you have no chance).
____________
In my opinion it should be forbidden to attack as the player that is already 1st in Fleet Arena

Or at least there should be something like a rotation to the players so it gets harder to ally with opponents

Why not make Fleet Arena like Grand Arena? Join Arena with random 10 People (compared by GM), with max 10 fights within 1-2 hours? Fair Play.

Sounds like you're mad at people working together to avoid you sniping their PO's.
Also sounds like you don't like the idea of someone being able to lock themselves to avoid your sniping attempts.

I'm REAL sorry your sniping efforts are failing. We all feel REAL bad.

I'm sorry too lol.

I'll add that often the people complaining about 'shard mafias' are anti-social, inconsiderate jerks, unable to think about anyone but themselves. For example, they knock down someone else within their payout hour, even though their payout may be 4-23 hours away, in some foolish effort to advance themselves. Then they **** when they get some payback.

There are 2 sides of this argument. I think in a friendly arena, those who do not join are the a******. On the other hand in a mafia arena, instead of a royal rumble its like 10 vs 1 to climb inside top 10 and this really kills the spirit of competition. In a real world this is called “bullying”

yes, this GAME lives from managment and farming, but yes, this is the game! collecting and battling at the holotables! never played Pokemon, Age of Empires or something like that?
