Suggestions on avoiding collusion on Grand Arena

You can change your defense up and they can already see your roster that makes this totally no matter one bit. What do they gain by colluding?

Sorry i thought you ask for opinions but you clearly have other motives

I have yet to hear an opinion on stopping the possibilty of cheating.... your statement was who cares so big help

You: need help

Them: here's some help

You: how dare you

I dont see being able to view my roster or my defense as cheating but its my opinion.the better player,team comp or gp is going to win

If you can see the opposing roster, you can pretty much guess who they could toss on defense. Nobody’s gonna put non-meta teams out there.

Paranoia

I personally have contacted both of my opponents I have faced so far. I wished them the best of luck, and I asked if they could offer any advice on how my defenses worked on them and what they used to beat them. I have done the same for them, and both have been really nice and generous about advice for my teams, as I hope I have been for them. I am actually allies with the first one now, and he is looking at joining my guild because of our conversation we had over GA. Could I have looked at their roster ahead of time to determine (guess) what they were going to set on defense? Yeah, and I did. Would they do it as well? Yeah, and they did. Just don't be a pr*ck to your opponent (taunting them), and they likely won't "collude" against you.

Basically, use common sense. If what you are about to do is rude, don't do it. Call it what you want, but it is basic common courtesy and common sense.

And also, the forum is to be used as a tool to connect the player base to discuss what is going on in the game (pros and cons). I usually do not care if people get upsrt about stuff because we all do; we are all human after all. If you do not like what someone has to say, you can ignore it (like you should), or you can offer a counter-point. You should not ever attack or insult them for their point/question. @3pourr2 brought up a valid point, and you insulted him because you seemingly disagreed with the point he was making. I understand your concern about "collusion" in GA, but to be fair, you likely will never find out that it happens if it ever does actually occur. So please, if you end up losing a GA round at some point, please do not come storming into the forum insisting that you were colluded against, because no one will take you seriously, as everyone will just assume you just lost. But if you bring proof of it to CG, then maybe they will make a point about it and do something to prevent it from happening. Until then though, I guess that it could add an extra challenge to the GA (which also sounds like fun). Best of luck in GA.

Avoid Russia!!

If you feel a player is cheating please report it to CG_LucifersDaddy.

Other than that, this is the same as TW where players share the defensive strategies of other guilds. It doesnt seem to be making anyone lose beyond what they would lose due to the toons they have.

What benefit is there to 7 people randomly deciding to gang up on one in GA? Isn't it just as likely that if someone proposes to the others that they share info on one of you that the others tell him to get lost? I can see actual benefits to working together in regular arena. Multiple people can get 1st the same day. That's not the case in GA.

Also let's say that the stars line up, and you get thrown into this odd group of 7 that decides to gang up on you with no benefit to 7 of them. You'll be in a different random group every time. So how often will that happen?

The OP is being paranoid over a non-problem. There is little to no benefit. It's difficult to coordinate with new groups of random people. This is a silly post.
