Hello,For some reason there is a player in my squad arena who won’t stop harassing me every time I take first place. He keeps claiming there is a system in place, a type of schedule for players in our squad arena to take first place. Now, I don’t remember seeing you guys at CG putting out any kind of schedule or rules saying we can only go after the top spot at certain times. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

It's because you aren't in the shard chat. CG doesn't care about any of this, so don't bother. If you want it to stop, you'll have to join the chat and get added into the rotation.

But I am tired of being harassed by this guy. If you refuse to use discord you won't make it very far in this game. Any remotely decent guild will require it.

But I am tired of being harassed by this guy. It sounds like you want to take 1st place every day. If that's what you want, you can either play nice and join the shard chat on discord, or just get ok with being knocked down. You're not the only person that wants to take 1st every day. The offer to join discord was an olive branch and a peace offering - get in the rotation and you'll have a much easier time of it. I'm not saying it's right - but that's how it is. CG can't do anything about it. All that being said - man, this is just squad arena. Landing in the top 100 or top 50 gets you plenty of currency. It's really not worth all that stress. Honestly I'm surprised anyone actually bothers to knock you down. Imagine caring that much about squad arena...

I have been playing video games for over 30 years without the use of discord or anything like it. I've been playing video games at least that long. I've done it both with and without discord. I've played SWGoH with and without discord. It's better with discord, by orders of magnitude - there's a reason people are using it. At the end of the day this is a social game and the in-game chat is so woefully lacking that using discord is like driving a Ferrari after only ever having a bicycle. I have folks in my guild that refuse to use it. It's fine - I haven't made it mandatory because they're good players and nice people - but oddly enough, that's all the more reason I wish they were on discord.

We are very casual for our GP (525m) and we still require discord full stop. There are simply too many things that get missed otherwise.

Sounds like he’s part of a shard chat. If you’re climbing or claiming first outside of your payout hour, expect to be hit. If you are climbing during your payout hour and are still being hit, perhaps in time you’ll be invited to the shard chat.

If you’re above level 85 though, squad arena means very little

People still care about squad arena placement with no crystals?
