Overcrowded Fleet Arena

I think most people are missing the point of the original post. Some ship shards, in particular the OG ship shards that were created when ships were first released are VERY imbalanced in terms of competition. People in newer shards who have a modestly relic'd fleet and do their 2-3 ship battles a day to get back to the top don't seem to grasp how bad some of these early shard are. We're talking EVERYONE in the top 200 has a fully relic'd fleet and unless you're in the fleet chat, expect to be knocked back 2 places for every 1 you move up. It's likely not that the original poster can't win in fleet, it's that he doesn't want to do 10-15 battles every day to move near the top only be knocked back 10 places in the last few minutes before payout.

...and yes to your question, it's not fair. It's really crappy that some people can do 2 battles for first and other have to struggle to make top 100 with the same or an even a better fleet.
