That's a silly statement to make without knowing how long the person before you has been playing.
The game suffers a lot from not having decent catch up mechanics, so you can't just flat out say "you should have farmed this a long time ago", or "save your crystals". People who have been playing for half a year or less simply don't have that luxury.
And new people that can't immediately grasp everything and end up in the lower part of the arena, have it the worst of all, they can never catch up and are doomed forever.

Arena shards are populated based on when you started playing. Newer players are only competing against other newer players in arena, so your final point is baseless.

Secondly, not every event is meant to be completed by every player - or at least not for maximum rewards.

The OP is clearly a newer player - his not-so-subtle shot about everything favoring veteran players makes that obvious. His complaints about "those who can't afford to pay" also suggests he plans on spending no money to support the game (or at least to participate in this event). So he has spent little time playing and no money....but expects to be able to have the same rewards as those who have either been playing much longer, or who have spent money...or both.

I think the second poster was merely pointing out the entitlement.

You suggest the game lacks a "catch up mechanic". Since new players don't directly compete with veteran players in shard or fleet arena, why the strong need for a "catch up mechanic"? When you play as longc as someone else, you'll be able to have the same type of deep, diverse roster. Besides, there is a very simple catch up mechanism - money.

I'm not sure what the problem is. And why people who just started playing expect to have things that people who have been playing for years have. And why they even feel the need, since the two don't directly compete anyway.
