Shard Chats = cheating
When are the game developers going to do something about the PVP cheating rings (aka shard chats)?

The sense of entitlement cuts both ways, really. Some of you guys have colluded and hoarded the top spots so long, it's very obvious that you believe those Ranks are Yours.
And... if somebody can reach a top spot with an inferior squad and mods... so what? Boo hoo. They got there fairly by playing the game and out-playing better teams, rather than banding with a group of fellow whales to bump all the "randoms" who are trying to climb.
Well the whales are fine to bump any they see fit tbh, that’s the advantage they gain by spending money on the game.
Shard chat or not they would be at the top bumping others regardless.
A lot of people don’t seem to understand this and just blame shard chat collusion for the reason they can’t break into the top/constantly bumped/can’t hold rank/sniped/blocked etc.
Just because you make a high rank doesn’t mean anything if you can’t hold it,
Shard chat or not
I agree, if they can beat the team randomly taking their spot. Problem is there are groups of varying teams protecting each other and their entitlement. Hey, I spent a significant amount of time and money on this game and can't stay in the top 20. When I do break in, it is certain that I will be blasted back to the +50 level in short order. You see, people in my shard not only chat but about 15 of them are in the same guild and they are strategically spread out in said top 50. Excellent example:. I fought my way to #14 this last charge up the ladder. Within an hour I was back down to #57. To make matters.worse, I attempted to get in and battle so I could maintain some sort of ranking but kept getting the "someone is already battling you" message several times during said hour. Not the first time similar has happened when I climbed too high. It is painfully obvious that the top of the shard is locked, primarily by members of one particular guild who are protecting their own interests. IMO, this flys in the face of the spirit of competition because it isn't about your team being better than mine or you're a better player than me. This is all about circling the wagons and teaming up against players who legitimately earned a spot.
