I got so frustrated with people attacking me in Squad Arena during my payout window while their payout windows were still 12 hours away that I ......wait for it... ...actually put my payout times IN MY NAME. Still got hit in the last hour both yesterday & today. Seriously, people, is it so hard to just wait until the last couple hours before your payout to fight your arena battles? Really? I know that the odds that anyone hitting me is reading this is tiny, especially since whenever it happens it always seems to be someone in eastern Europe who speaks a language with very little in common with English, but I had to vent. Gah.

Some people like to watch the world burn… I just swapped places from 8th to 4th EIGHT times in the 2 hours leading up to my ship payout (and burned a time refresh to lock myself into the battle for 1st six minutes before payout) tonight.Our shard co-public enemy #1 (there are 2 of them that conservatively spend an average of 600-700 crystals a day in time and battle refreshes, both have been in the shard chat before and removed themselves) paid out 6 hours ago.

@LordDirt You obviously didn't read what I wrote. The problem isn't my ability to win battles. My being good or not doesn't enter into it. Even if I was fighting for 999th place and someone sniped me, the (hypothetical) fact (in this hypothetical scenario) that I'm terrible at squad arena doesn't make it okay for someone with 12 hours to their own payout to knock me back down to 1040th. The problem is people attacking me during my payout time when it's 12 hours away from their own. The offense always has the advantage, you know this. My teams can be good and still be beatable. This is solely about people who don't respect others. End of story.

It's Player VERSUS PlayerThere's no rule that says someone can't attack you just because it's near your payoutIf anything, it's proper competitive behavior to hit you at or just before your payoutNow you have fewer crystals to grow your roster and oppose me in the future

I hope I’m doing this to you. I literally hit arena whenever it’s convenient. Sometimes middle of the night, morning, lunch, or 5 mins before payout. I don’t really care

OP, some shards have players who agree to work with each other instead of against, other shards don't. If you are unlucky enough to be in the latter, there really isn't much you can do about it, unfortunately.

Actually, on our shard discord server, we have a competition running to reward players, who hit "intruders" (meaning players, who did not join the shard) whenever they got the chance.

So if you are not part of your arena shard community, chances are high people are motivated to hunt you down because they want to clean up the top 50 spots for "intruders".

So, if you can't beat them, better join them.

Gah.

I would give this downwote if I could. Not nice to generalize it on Eastern Europe people, this has nothing to do with your point.

I sometimes attack without being close to my payout if I feel there's a chance that I won't be able to play at the time of PO (I don't have a fixed rutine so there's no way I find an hour of PO that I will always be able to climb). That being said, I try to at least never attack with less than 30 minutes for any PO. For me, if you didn't pay atention in the last 30 minutes before PO, you don't have a chance to complain.

I'm from Eastern Europe and Russians are total a-holes online in general, including in SWGOH.
