Let me ask the forums, and I do appreciate any wisdom/insight/advice on this topic.For several months now, a player in my ship shard has been harassing me because I 'attack him'. I've told him, if you're in a spot that I need to hit my payout, I'm going to attack, goes the same for anyone who's in that spot. That's how advancement works. He then proceeds to inform that his pay out is hours AFTER mine therefore I'm hindering him from advancement. My response was, if yours is hours after mine, you have hours to catch back up. Seems like simple math to me.Now ... apparently there is a ship shard 'chat' which only the privileged are allowed to enter, and they 'team up' to stall someone's advancement.Today ... same thing over discord. Messages me, calls me a moron then block himself before I can respond.I am DEBATING about reporting him in game. Should I?

Shard chats have been a thing for a long time. Cg will do nothing about it.

Hey man, best thing you can do is have the strongest fleet I. Your shard... or join your shard chat.

No ... I very rarely read the forums. This is a game, not a lifestyle for me. I don't spend every waking moment reading up on ... I'm an adult with more important things to do. And for several months I DID have one f the strongest fleets, constantly in top 5

If he harassed you on discord, there's nothing CG can or will do. If he harassed you on in-game chat, you can report that.

The fact you waited this long to know what a shard chat is baffles me. Like do you read the forums?

Most people in this game are in shard chats. If you waited 3-4 years to get in one they likely are “full” and you missed your chance.

Only when people start quitting because of things CG doesn’t fix where there may be some room in one.

it's the harassing PM's & name calling that's getting annoying.

Nothing you can do about it really. Sometimes it is to your benefit to defeat the troublesome player's fleet/squad and then spend the crystals to immediately refresh your wait timer and jump into battle again to try to put some distance between the two of you. Otherwise you spend all your battles just trading places back-and-forth and nobody gets anywhere. You could also try attacking somebody else instead as a peace offering, but that doesn't sound like an option for you.

The in game stuff is legal (grey area that CG ignores). Messaging you on discord with a nasty statement about a potential crystal payout in a mobile game is out of line. Every person in this game can attack whoever they feel like. Personal shots across the bow are unnecessary.
