This is the real meta, and it needs a nerf

Communicating w/ your shard mates for payout or to work together to share payouts is common sense. Granted that's an oxymoron bcuz sense is anything but common.

Do I wanna stay glued 2 my phone for a hour b4 payout ? No. Can I grab 1st or 3rd on my respective days w/ the other 2 ppl at my payout time and not have to worry ? Sure can. It's much less time intensive and far less stress. I have enuf stress irl thx.

If ppl choose to collude to ensure their spots and prevent other ppl from taking their spot at payout, that is a different approach and not as friendly, but making friends is not the object of the game and they can play however they want.

This brings us to the 3rd type of player, the worst of the 3...the 1 that won't cooperate or collude. This loathsome individual fights in the worst of venues...the forums. For some inane reason, they believe that complaining will achieve a positive result.
