How can he be at #102 with just 26k power? (Compared to me, #105 with 89k power)How did he climb up there?I also notice that my much stronger ally is at #500+.Shouldnt he be above my rank?How does the game ranking system work?Thanks.

But I don’t see the same list as you. Periodically they close a squad arena list then open a new one (I think they do it when each list reaches 10,000 players, but could be wrong). Ahhhh, thanks for the info.Sooo, there are indeed some "rooms".Because that is what happening at Plant VS Zombie 2, another EA game.In this game, the "rooms" you're referring to are called shards. New players are put into a shard until that shard fills up (I think it's roughly 10000 players per shard? someone correct me if that's wrong), then a new shard opens for the next group of new players. The same is true for fleet arena. GAC differs from this in that there are no shards - everyone is in the same GAC competition.The guy you are referring to looks like he's probably cheating unless he's using one team to climb and switching to another team to sink for some reason. There's no possible way he's winning matches legitimately with that team.

The forums would be flooded with cheater posts if everyone did that. We already get at least two a week.

In squad arena you can also send an ally invite after battling them and then go into your ally management, view pending requests and use the link to view their roster in-game.

There are lots of those. We call them shards. Unless you've added your ally from your shard, they'll be in another shard. Your shard consists of people that unlocked arena around the same time as you.

So, is every1 trapped in his own shard/room?

If that is the case...the p2p will always be at the top and the f2p will be at the bottom.

In the beginning, yes. Over time it changes to active players at the top, even F2P ones, and inactives lower down.

Fleet shards (or "rooms") are smaller, I want to say 1000 players with more opportunity for light spenders / F2P to hit the top ranks sooner if they do their research.

Thanks all, it makes sense now.

BTW, last night b4 bed, i still found the guy.
He changed his 0-0-0 to emperor palpatine (looks like freshly unlocked palpatine).
He managed to climb again to rank-above-100.

I have 2 theories on this

1. He rises in the arena rank with a strong team and then switches to a weaker team after climbing (likely not happening)

2. He's a cheater and you should report him both ingame and to CG_LucifersDaddy here on the forums.

I suspect theory number 2 is why he can climb so high with such a weak squad

Agree with all of the above. Generally you get to know all the names in your arena shard, newer ones will pop up with new GLs. The thing about winning 4 battles, they need to use that weak squad once as you can only set it by a battle.

Seems quite dodgy if you see multiple promotions daily.
