Shard Chats = cheating
When are the game developers going to do something about the PVP cheating rings (aka shard chats)?
Forum Discussion
There are a ton of different shard chats that are only looking to help all of the shard members. My shard is a perfect example. We coordinate and help each other get as high as possible for each payout. When there are multiple people on a certain payout, we rotate so all of us get as much crystal as possible. We’ve also searched for the few who haven’t joined and we don’t target them unless they are intentionally sniping during every payout. There is no reason for people to sit #1 all day when it only matters at your payout time.
The point is, there are shards that completely focus on helping everyone instead of constantly competing with everyone all the time. If I don’t have to worry about being sniped by 9/10 players, that makes my life a lot easier in that portion of the game, and if they know I won’t be sniping them, it’s a win for them too. If you think there is “collusion” in your shard, find them and join them. Most of them are just trying to help the whole group do well in the game. When we work as a team, we also are able to keep those selfish players from staying #1 all day long and denying others rewards.
Strategy is a huge part of the game, so why not try to use a different strategy to your advantage. Regardless of whether you think it is cheating, it’s a part of the game and frankly, it isn’t cheating.
As @Bigbearxba mentioned, life isn’t fair. If you want it to be fair, you’d need to put the exact same amount of whales dolphins and f2p in every shard, and make sure that every shardmate has the same GP...which obviously is a bogus idea. Whining about how life isn’t fair doesn’t help anyone. Instead of focusing on why you are at a disadvantage, find a way to get an advantage over your opponent. I’m completely f2p and even before i joined the shard chat, i was able to stay top50 for months. It’s possible to get good rewards regardless of your situation, you just need to play smart :)
