Anything I can do for a purposeful and malicious sniper?

A guy in my arena shard is literally waiting on me to move ahead of him in squad arena (refreshing so that he can attack me the instant I come out of a battle) and in chat said he'd specifically continue to do so, because I asked him not to snipe me during my payout hour (common courtesy, his payout hour is later). This is just petty and vindictive and he's doing it deliberately just to be a jerk to me.
I should also add he's persistent. He's jumping right into battle before I could even use crystals to refresh and fight again.

    Or join the shard chat. Strength in numbers is a thing.


    Shard chats exist?

    May I suggest, that you look up the meaning of the word in a dictionary? And then that you read through this discussion again to find out what the popular opinion is? And then think about which poster argues against the popular opinion?


    ... and #2, aren't having things like that happening to them.


    As already described in one of my early comments, I was once falsely accused of having hit a fellow shard chat mate. So, I have experience with what you described. We handled it a bit differently than you, though.


    They think it's totally fair if someone blows crystals to idle with your squad in combat to keep them from doing anything.


    Noone is required to play fair (however you would define fair). It's an arena. You can battle whomever you can target at any time you like.


    But if it were happening to them, they'd probably be just as angry about it.


    Angry or not, I certainly wouldn't come to these forums an whine about it, and I certainly wouldn't file a false report of cheating.


    You guys are also missing a point and continue to believe that the person isn't being personal but rather just doing normal competitive behavior, which is not the case because he expressed in chat that he was going to be personal about it and nobody spends more crystals than they'd earn just to keep someone in combat looking for some way to benefit them in game. That's not playing smart at all, and if you agree that that's a smart way to play the game, I don't know where to begin.


    Noone is required to play smart. Noone is required to not have personal battles. It's an arena - a place for battles and rivalry. What you described is all within the rules of the game. That is the only thing that matters.


    When the thread started, most the people understood what was going on.


    I believe everyone who commented so far does.


    There's only about 2-3 of you, who somehow insist on believing that I wrongly accused the guy of lying about attacking me, mostly just to spite me is what I'm getting out of it.


    That is a lie. I don't know whether the guy lied or not. I never told, what I believe. However, according to your own story the other guy claims he didn't lie. That's your own story - not a belief of mine. Learn the difference.


    You don't like me personally so you choose to believe the other guy, and imply that I'm an **** that can't read and that I've picked on this POOR POOR SNIPER by saying he was lying or account sharing unfairly because you think I'm blind or something and cannot read the name of the person who was in the rank I was just in 10 seconds ago.
    That's insulting you know.


    LOL. This is all in your head, dude. Chill. But.... Erm.... "interesting" line of thoughts, there.


    To be told I must have made some mistake that the guy who's in rank 25 a few seconds after the game told me my rank changed is NOT the guy who attacked me, and telling me I should apologize to the guy. Because he MUST be telling the truth and there's NO WAY he was account sharing.

    Look man, you might be that blind, but I'm not. If I'm spamming refresh waiting to see when the "Somebody is already battling you." message stops, I'm paying very close attention to what rank I'm currently at, and when I get the one that says "Your rank has recently changed.", I look at who's in that rank now. That's the person who attacked me because nobody else could have beaten them in under 10s to replace them, he also moved up in rank, not down, because he did it twice, and I was paying attention twice.


    Nope. Repeating your side of the story without providing any proof or the other side still changes nothing. Don't waste your time.


    So again. Account sharing, or lying. Account sharing should be reported.
    and if he's mad about being called a liar when he is in fact lying, then no I'm not going to apologize, that's his problem Maybe don't lie to people if you don't want to be called a liar?


    So, either one or the other. Either lying or account sharing. And you thought you would just cover both possibilities and both call the guy a liar and report him. I see.


    all I can say to him is play smart, don't just randomly attack, stick to your payout time and you'll do better for yourself, and if you have common courtesy for other people's payout times, they'll have common courtesy for you, and you'll both have better payouts.


    He doesn't seem to be the one with the problems with attacking at random times.


    and I say the same to you if your playstyle is to just attack without thinking about your own payout time. You'll do better if you don't. Or you can go ahead and keep wasting fights, ending up with crappy payouts. Your problem.


    LOL. Thank you for your advice. Just.... Thanx, dude.

  • I'm going to close this down. This has broken down into bickering.

    OP: if you feel this is harassment, please do your best to document this behavior and report this to CG_SBCrumb.

    On topic: This is a game with a battle mode. How someone chooses to play that mode, as long as they are not using any cheats, is not against the rules of the game, at least not that I am aware of.
