Arena Shard reorganisation

I should start with the story of my account. I started in November '15, after arriving in Top 3 I were not able to get the first event char GMY so i quit with the game. Then November '17 I started again, with my old account. There were so many more features, mods, ships and so on, but i had a plan even though i were only at 200k gp and without a guild. A year later i got JKR and could compete in Arena, I earned many crystals for staedy be on rank 1 against accounts with more than the double amount of gp (I were at about 2 Mil Gp, some of my opponents has 4,5 - 5 M GP). Finally i got Drevan even though i have not enough crystals for his Gear tiers 8/9, but that's ok. But now since I know I have no option to get Malak i am upset, just like with GMY. My Arena shard will most likely get Malak easily because they already have every char, that means they have gear for getting every necessary char to 17,500 gp like it is nothing. Is there any possibility for players who were off the game for a while to get in another shard that is more appropriate?

    They weren't 'moved', they just got split into 2 smaller leaderboards.

    And this was a Fleet Leaderboard, not a Squad Arena Leaderboard.

    I'm sure they have the tech to do it, but I doubt anyone has a really good enough justification for them to do so which would open up the floodgates.


    Yeah, the only reason they were able to justify that split is because the Fleet Arena shards were made on the day Fleet arena launched and the system they had in place to spread people out in the most fair way was slightly bugged and they corrected it as best they could
  • It's probably very easy to do. Simply a database mapping from your account to a diffrent leaderboard.

    However, it will never happen. Why should others who started later be forced to accommodate for someone who rage quits and then decides to play again? They shouldn't.

    I've played since January '16 nearly every day in order to keep up with my arena. That's the advantage I get for being a family player.
