Unbalanced shards

I've been back 2 or 3 months now and this is my arena.

Why should you be rewarded for not playing the game by moving to a new shard? No one is getting punished here, it’s just the other players in your shard getting rewarded for actually supporting/playing the game. If you really think you can never catch up, just create a new account, takes but a few minutes.

It may seem discouraging right now but if you focus and gear that team where it is a 90k team instead of a 60k team, you can get to the top 200 pretty easily. It does take time but it is doable. The people above you in arena also spent that time. So far you haven't.

If you haven't already find a guild that is doing haat, hpit, tb, and, tw. That will really give you more gear a lot quicker. Hstr would be nice but likely not going to happen with your roster. Second participate in the raids and score as high as possible for better gear.

We actually just had a new entry into the shard chat that's highly engaged, highly effective, and about 1M GP below the average in the top 10 (and about 500k behind us FTPers). He had some personal stuff he had to take care of but stuck with it and is now kicking butt and making friends. Great story.

The beauty of arena is that it only takes five toons.

Palp lead does will against everything but traya and bastilla lead. Bastilla lead does well against palp lead but sucks against ns and traya lead. Both can do ok in a traya environment if maxed out and modded. Traya is ideal but probably a ways out for you. Palp lead would make the traya switch more seemless since you just sub out vader for traya. Ns is another ootion since they are good in the str but not quite as good in arena. A secondary focus is to get jtr for the hstr and build up her team so you can have a hstr guild accept you. This will probably take several months though. But you should be able to gear an arena team tgat can get in the top 100 in a couple of months. And that isn't that long to catch up.

Ummmm.... Palp lead beats Traya lead

I meant palp lead without traya in the team. I can beat both bastilla lead and traya lead teams with my palp non traya team. But victory depends on mods and rng. Most other teams it is an easy victory.

The issue is i don't see why players should be punished for not playing almost everyday since they got the game. I've put money and time into the game so why should i need to start a new account? I like the system but feel it has flaws that can be avoided.

Your not being punished. Everyone ahead of you has built up better rosters and teams through commitment and "hard work".

The problem with "blending" people into a newer shard, is figuring out the best shard to put them in, and where do you out them at 20,000? That alone will take you a few weeks to get up to the top. If the placement is not perfect it could end up being a detriment or an exploit. It's too much of a can of worms for them to try and implement

Commitment ,Hard work huh. You mean mommy and daddy’s black Amex card? Yeah
