Yeah that whole shard mafia thing is a hoax
this shows that you aren't good enough to get 1 in arena and it means you will get even less crystals in GAC which will match you up with someone with superior mods and rosters. I've seen tons of shard chats that are welcoming as long as you can get 1 or are willing to share your payout / change your payout
Everyone claiming that GAC being the main source of income is under the illusion they will be undefeated in GAC
Lets not forget you can't use your new toons immediately in GAC
1. Meta teams are in defense so you don't get to play with them
2. You can't test your teams daily since each round takes place 2-3 days apart
3. You don't get practice (5 attempts a day vs 1 attempt per round)
