New Fleet Arena Payout Scale

Negatory. On my shard my Squad* arena is ran like a mafia cartel. You either kiss the ring or a concerted effort is made to push you out of top 50 at the very least. The same people over and over again get the 400 and so on crystal, soaking it up like digital leeches and players just hand over the meaning of a free for all squad arena to the cartel bosses. In fleet arena I have a chance to actually get some crystal since I take first everyday and do not purposely block others payouts. It's more polite that way, but definitely nice to have a source for crystal that does not require me bending the knee to some person I'll never meet irl. It's free for all, albeit respectfully. Some of us enjoy the fleet arena far more than any other game mode, especially since fleet is more like a game of chess than it is Squad Arena checkers. Most king'd checkers will win. Fleet people considerably lower in Fleet Power can beat those higher than them using strategy and the right combination. CG did absolutely amazing with Fleet imho and contrary to normal in the feedback section, I'm gonna suggest CG did a fantastic job with this.

You do, of course, realize that the same "kiss the ring" mentality will/is already happening in fleet, now that there are crystals involved, right?

My fleet arena shard already has a chat, and is basically doing the same thing in fleet arena as is common practice in squad arena. That is, respect players payouts, work together and if you don't, you'll get "knocked and locked". It will be no different in a few weeks. Especially if people feel the need to focus more on ships - which the recent change and addition of capital ship power will do.
