I admit I am curious if CG merged 10 shards and the split them back out while keeping the top 50 of each shard together and just randomly shuffling the rest, how many in each newly shuffled shard would rise? The top 50 is usually the most active and devoted to that fleet or arena, they're mostly in the shard chat and working together to help everyone get the best payout possible.
If the bottom 51+ were shuffled I'm not sure how many would rise into the top. Yes there would be some shard that became more or less competitive based on how that shuffle went, and it might be worth exploring as a test.
To those who want a FULL shuffle, or a split, it's just not reasonable.
I think sentiment this misses the mark a little bit. There are likely a lot of active players that treat 50 as the top reward they will get and a "good break point".
If they were going to implement any shuffles ships would have been the place to do it, but they probably should have started with that in mind, vs trying to bring it in later.
