Firstly, the two issues are related. The elite main shard chat exists because of the large population. We couldn't let the 100+ active players into a shard because it will cause similar issues to your shard.
And your saying CG will address the issue. Well, it took them about 2 years to address it the first time so how do you know they are even monitoring it still? I believe they thanked a player from our shard when it was brought up the first time...
And while you might think yours is normal, you are still ranked in the 200s for total fleet wins in this game. Our shard represents 13% of the top # of fleet wins as I mentioned above. If you say there are enough OG shards that are similar, this amount shouldn't be so high... There are several "OG shards" that don't have any competition beyond the top 50. And sometimes people quit and won't even fall out of top 50. The extreme difference in competition between veteran shards can be surprising.
Once again, feel free to PM me your top 50 and I'll do the dirty work. Thanks!
