I agree with you on a lot of those points @Kyno. I only want to compare to day 1 fleet shards. If day 1 shards had a similar creation process, I would expect the top 50 in those shards to look fairly similar when reviewing GP and other stats. This would assume a similar level of players growing at a similar rate over this time. Obviously, there would be some differences as each shard is not a perfect sample of the overall population in this game and number of battles would vary based on how the shard was organized. If we did find my shard top 50 is still not similar enough compared to other day 1 shards, that is more reason for me to believe there is an issue with the larger population in my shard but won't be able to found out without more assistance. Thanks and have a good weekend!
