I disagree, this is an illegal activity. What is the intent of the person involved? It is intending to do harm, in this case take 200 crystals which do have a financial value (in game store). He also texted me in game chat that he had 2 co conspirators if i attempted to seek retribution. So that's the legal definition of conspiracy.
Some aspects of the game have changed because of legal ramifications...odds on prize boxes. So perhaps building a legal case is more useful to influence change?

I wish you the very best of luck with that. Do keep me advised how it goes.

Quick tip: he’s not “taking” anything. To earn those crystals you need to be in position 2 at your payout. You weren’t, so they were never your’s to be taken away by anybody.

I notice you didn’t answer any of my questions though.

Sorry, reread your questions. Before i moved my payout time i observed arena for a week and took screenshots to see when people moved up to take top 5. Before that there were 4 people active in my old payout. 2 people have been rotating top 2 forever so i was happy to take 3rd. There was a new guy who just got a GL SEE that decided to take over #3 everyday (wasnt in the top 10 before that). So i saw the opportunity to move and now take 2nd everyday, hasnt been a problem til this guy who i observed takes #1 at 11am(pacific time zone) decides to hang around the top 10 and snipe people from top 5 for the rest of the day. My payout is at 2pm.
So yesterday i called him on it and asked him how'd he'd like me messing with his payout time. And he responded that he had at least 2 other people on his side who will make sure i never see top 5. So there's other people conspiring to keep other players out of the top 5, blocking people when it's past their payout. There is no shard chat

Stay tuned, more evidence to come! I guess I'm disappointed that both Darjelo and chuck want to side with the sniper, but dont worry I'll be sure to get the other side of the story in here as well!

Just to update, looks like my method has worked so far (no more sniping). So to rehatch
1) Direct confrontation/message
2) Call out their bad behavior
3) Ask how they would like the same treatment
4) Go after the people he named drop as henchmen (via mute and report option)
5) Rage on the forum.

As for legality, it's pretty naive to think that this is a laughable case. Not sure about you, but i grew up with people suing McDonalds over spilling coffee on their laps. All you need is a good lawyer (not Rudy Giuliani) and a court that sympathizes with your argument (probably the 9th District Court of Appeals).

Til we rage again!

@zanir the only way I've been able to chat with shard mates is to ally request them first then you can open a chat. I have open ally slots so always get asked to ally request after an arena battle (oddly enough not the same for fleets).
Interesting info on the MickeyDs lawsuit. I could imagine being in the court and having the prosecutor just dump the scalding coffee onto jury's crotches. Ladies and Gentlemen, i rest my case

I dont have any in game messages besides the ones from my guild.

Oh, buddy. We got rules. They just don’t apply to outsiders lol. We all have screenshots of when we’ve tried to reach out to you and we have screenshots from what you’ve sent other people about the original situation. I’m glad you’ve tried to vilify us though.
Anyway, you added me as an ally yesterday, so if you’d like to talk and join us so this stuff stops happening to you, feel free to message me. Have a good day my friend. :)

It’s funny that you think you blocked me out of my payout. I still got paid at 1. Welcome to how shard chats work. If you’re not a part of the shard chat, you get blocked, as many people on here have stated. If you don’t like it, feel free to keep complaining. No one particularly cares. ?

Make a shard chat, promote it, and return fire. Easy as that.

Actually shard chat are not a part of the game. All who write it is fine - are people who probably do manipulated sport bets behind hands.

Watch the actual statement of what is allowed. If you are playing 20 vs 1 its certainly is not allowed. If EA as company doesnt do anything against it, doesnt mean its sportive or competitive. Only maybe means a company just trying to maximise their profits, which is understandable.

A lot better would be shard shuffle every week - for all sides. More competition for those who seek, less manipulation for those who seek and a more flatten activeness for those who either got a full arena shard or an empty. But will it happen - probably not. A fix for a gac start date was already difficult...so i doubt quality game updates for no reward for the company would be reasonable to await.
