Once again it wouldn't matter how many ally points I saved, no matter how many I use I can't beat any of the teams I face. This is becoming a joke. Between the reward toons that only whales or ppl who've been playing since day 1 w multiple viable teams are gonna be able to have a chance at, and this power difference in match ups these tournaments are nothing but a waste of time. With the credit crunch, constant disappointments, and amount of money I spend to stay remotely competitive I think I may just be better off cutting my losses & finding a new game to play. Either way I'm done wasting my time with this, why bother when if I wanted I can just spend money down the road & get the toon, the only real thing that anyone plays these things for ( I realize there are other rewards but let's be honest, people really want the toons & shards) Way to go EA, another epic disappointment. How hard would it be to have shards based on power averages in Arena vs this current method of level? As if every level 80+ is equal...

I know what you mean. My best team is just under 38k. In every tournament so far I have been in with players who have teams a lot higher than me, this time the highest I have seen is coming up on 52k.Obviously I want to avoid a team that far above me but no matter how many times I refresh I still get teams in the mid 40s. So fun times.At least I have phase 2 of the tank raid to look forward to as my guild will finish phase 1 this weekend. May have phase 2 finished this year.CG really know how to have a party thats fun for everyone. Normally new content would have me pumped but recent updates have left me expecting ships to be a shipwreck.

As if every level 80+ is equal...You just need to prioritize your game play better I am strictly f2p and I'm rank 20 atm every team I go against has 5 to 10k power on me with all the exclusive toons like sun fac Rex shore tropper then there is the maxed out wiggs teams, but I'm still competing and I don't plan on going any lower then 25 (unless a bunch more whales have been holding out and just take over)I'm glad you do so well, you're obviously not in my shard.

It's not about ally points and time so much as it's getting a good server. Now you have to guess what time to join to avoid the whales. It would be better if we were kept with people on our arena servers and had a limited number of refreshes

I'm ranked 1223 and I'm facing squads 6k higher then me. I started exactly when the tourney started and I was ranked 661 and a thousand points behind lead. The tourney is a joke. I'll just use the ally points on bronze packs

If everyone is going after the same prizes, everyone should be in the same pool, FTP & guppies all the way up through dolphins & Whales. If you're going to put people in different tiers based on strength, you would need different prizes for different tiers like raids.

I would not mind getting lesser rewards, I just want to be able to take part.

I don't have a deep enough roster. I have 12 leveled up characters. That's only two full teams. The people doing well in this tournament can cycle through multiple solid teams and maximize their ally point refreshes across five or six groups.
