Fleet Arena is Broken

I know that the current fleet arena works for some players, but it does not work for all. This is the last game mode where a group of players can coordinate to exclude another player or players from receiving a reward. Squad Arena was already changed, in part, because of this issue.  Another player cannot stop you from signing up for GAC, TW, TB, or a raid. Based on individual or the guild performance in those game modes you will receive a reward. While there are match making issues with GAC and TW you cannot be prevented from receiving a reward. Considering that if a fleet shard had perfect coordination and was able to rotate out the top 50 players each hour the shard would be paid out 126,000 crystals per day (50 crystals each, for positions 50 to 21, 100 crystals each, for positions 20 to 11, 200 crystals each, for positions 10 to 6, then 300, 325, 350, 375, & 400 for positions 5 to 1 making 5,250 each hour). This level of coordination is unlikely, but the current set up indicates that CG is willing to pay that out to each shard every 24 hours. With that number of crystals, you could pay every player in the top 500 positions 252 crystals each per day. That would significantly reduce the frustration that many players have with this game mode. Out in the 500 ranks you can move up dozens of positions in a single battle making blocking players out very difficult.

    Your logic of focusing on the entire roster does not work with Fleet Arena because you only have to focus on 1 meta fleet, which I have. It is the same issue just a different game mode. 

  • Its not broken.

    Basically you want rewards without making any effort as you have complained about this before. How entitled of you.

  • Terrible idea and no way CG is going to pay the top 500 that many crystals a day. Sorry but those of us the top 50 (at least on my shard) maybe the average is 50-100 players at most that consistently play fleet arena and have meta ships. Anyone past that probably isn't being held back because of coordination. They're just some combo of bad players/dont have meta ships/have inferior mods and relic levels. You cant even see the rank list past 50 making coordination difficult if not impossible. 

    FYI crystals were not taken out of squad because of shard chats. It was taken out to encourage spending on your entire roster instead of being able to mostly focus on 1 meta squad. 

  • “Squad Arena was already changed, in part, because of this issue. ”

    Was it? Do you have a source to back up this claim? 

    As for your suggestion, paying positions 1-500 252 crystals a day is a completely over-the-top idea and I for one would be dead against it.
