Okay so lemme explain what's going on. I'm trying to work on the Jedi Knight prestigious quest, and one of the requirements is that you win 10 squad arena battles with Jedi. I've got a few solid Jedi, but since I got up to my current level back when the clones were Meta-breaking, I've been stuck in a part of the arena where I can't use my Jedi reasonably.So as a result I've been trying to drop down to much lower ranks, where my Jedi will be more acceptable, and the Meta will have less of a stranglehold. Thus far I've tried to accomplish this by just... setting up really weak characters for defense. With the most recent adjustments taking my squad from 97k down to 13k and now all the way down to 2k. Yet despite this, I've been unable to get my arena ranking to drop below 2200is this some sort of in-game mechanic designed to prevent people from losing too many ranks? Or are people just not attempting to attack this 2k team for some reason?If anyone has any advice on how to drop ranks as fast as possible, please let me know.

Maybe a better solution here would be to work on your Jedi a bit. How bad are they (or how good are the teams around you) that you can't win with them in the 2000+ rank range?

Odds are that you are in the inactive portion of your arena. Nobody below your current rank is playing anymore.

Then is there any way for me to drop further?

it doesn't seem likely if you have a team that weak in and dont drop past that number.

the shard system here seem so to be designed to allow for many players who dont really get into the game to not effect the shard system. so they are really big, but generally speaking fade down to smaller numbers, without the active portion really noticing.

So I just have to wait for someone active that's climbing into my tier to hopefully kick me down into the active level of the tier below at some point?

you could, but you might have better luck tracking someone down that you can talk to and work out a dummy team for you to battle.

Where and how would I even begin to do that?
