Sniping near payout

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.

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.

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.

For the record, I did not generalize about eastern Europeans. Every single person who engaged in the sniping I was talking about had their payout set for evening in eastern Europe. I attempted to contact every single one. ALL of the ones that contacted me were people who mentioned speaking a non-English language as their native language. When I asked where they were in the world, all of the people who responded confirmed that they were located in Russia or elsewhere in eastern Europe.

I did not generalize. I talked to people. I looked up their payout times (to make sure they weren't attacking me because we had payouts close to each other). I was careful to say here "It always seems to be" because some people didn't talk to me and they could have been in the middle east or Africa or just set their payout for a time that wasn't in their evening. But I did not generalize, and I wasn't looking to blame eastern Europeans: I have actual facts, confirmed with the actual snipers, that I was being sniped either entirely by eastern Europeans or at the bare minimum by several eastern European players and a couple of players who seem to eastern Europeans based on their payout times, which were the same as other snipers.

Also, please note that there's a difference between "almost all of the people sniping me are from eastern Europe" and "all eastern Europeans are people who snipe others".

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.
