question about arena snipers

Just asking what the forum thinks on issue. So i recently moved my payout time since my previous one was crowded. There's only 2 of us that vie for the top 2 slots. Today, this guy whose payout is at least 3 hours ahead of mine (unless he takes first just to block others), snipes me from 2 to 6. That takes my crystal payout from 450 to 250. I contact him and he proceeds to tell me that he has friends in arena that will help to block me out of top payout. So basically there's 3-4 other players colluding to keep people out of top 5 or 10 even when it isn't their payout time (in most cases past their payout times). From my knowledge we dont have a shard chat.

Hey Thee Daft Juan. So, just throwing it out there since we traded 20 battles today, you might want to open your in game messages every now and then considering we’ve been trying to get you to join the shard chat, but you never want to open the messages, so idk what else we can do.

Also, side note, our shard chat has been around for at least four years, so not sure where you got the idea that we didn’t have one.

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. ?

Please tell Baniss, I think it's a horrible thing that you ruined Mauretz payout today just to prove some weird fraternity hazing ritual. 2nd place was wide open for him to take as usual and it's a also disturbing to treat others with disrespect regarding the original situation with Legend and recent situation with you and then say we only treat people with respect who join our shard chat and punish everyone else or blockade them from reaching top 10/20 whatever.
The only person I'd talk with is amurder, he's legit been one of the few standup guys of your whole gang/mafia/whatever

Hey man, I dunno what’s up with your in game messages but a bunch of us have tried contacting you that way. We thought maybe you were ignoring them or something. Gila hitting you 20 times in a row was like a last ditch effort to try and get in contact with you since you have always been fair and we wanted to add you. I’ll PM you my discord name on here, add me on there and I’ll get you a link.

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.
