Fleet Shard Mafia
Years ago when crystal income was moved to GAC from arena, the reasoning was said to be because of shard chats/mafias blocking others out and ruling the payouts. The same is true for fleet, so why h...

Unfortunately, to get in, you are probably going to have to spend some crystals. If you make it difficult to beat you or if you climb quickly with refreshes, they might invite you in rather than having to compete against you. It took me years to finally have someone reach out to me. The major advantage is coordinated climbing so that you don't have to fight everyone to get to your PO. I would also recommend putting r9 on malgus, SA, and SET. A mostly worthless investment, but it will make your Levi fleet a bit more of a pain to beat.
“Shard mafias” are just the players who are regularly at the top cooperating with each other so they can maximize rewards and minimize time requirements and pain. Since the invention of changing payout times I haven’t heard of any shards that aren’t willing to cooperate with anyone who isn’t purposefully trying to mess with people.
anyone who is competitive and isn’t already talking to their shard mates should start by sending them a message :)my guildmates can change but I have been playing with my shard mates for years and years-
I have been a part of our arena shard for years before it went to gac. As I said, I've been trying to get in fleet forever. Hasn't worked. Told it was too busy and there are too many in there already. I wish fleet was like my character arena shard used to be.
Unfortunately if they’ve locked you out it’s because they can. The only way that changes is if you do something they can’t ignore. As others have mentioned, these groups are about coordination to allow everyone to get their payout with minimal effort, which means you have to make them work. If there really are a lot of them it can be difficult and will probably take a lot of crystals and/or even more fleet investment.
