Player Courtesy
Something that has been bother me lately has been the increase of players who randomly attack others on the arena ladder during their local pay out time. While I understand there are no rules but it is no different than holding the door for the old lady coming in. When you've played long enough fighting the same players every day you learn everyone's pay out time, or active period. I personally leave other players payout time alone. I considered the possibility of just a random players doing his/her daily arena quest. I'm curious to hear other's insight of this and is it happening more often on your server?

I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Your right, you can't be 100% certain of a players pay out time without indeed asking. You can only take the average of a player being most active over 3 months during this time frame to conclude he is PST/EST/whatever. My observation not a complaint ,is I see a trend of what appears to be players from other time zones, deviating from the norm over the previous months to knock a player out. I could be completly wrong but it's becoming more common hence my thread for some insight.
Everyone's payout is their LOCAL 6pm.
The best thing you can do is defend your time and watch and learn the habits of the regulars and play your own game.
.. And if that fails beat them into submission.
I have a great server, we respect each other and it's a lot of fun.
It prides me to say I did NOT attack him back. Instead we both finished on a successful snipe.
Then again, there's no solid way of verifying who attacked you, maybe some guy is just refreshing the small timer four times in a row to finish his daily battles in 15 minutes. Who knows.
Also when it's 10 mins before payout and someone has you in battle for the entire time, that is also an a$$hat move.
That's my kind of server.
Also, @BentWookie , did you recently receive Mod status? I never noticed before.
That sounds great, I'm on a great server as well. 99% of the time, I have no issues.
What?
<looks up>
No.. Nooooooooo! Apparently the vaccine did not work!
Thanks, I appreciate it.
This is exactly what I'm referring to. While I still finished first, it took some ups and downs the ladder of players who pay out time is later. It used to be a respectful place now it's becoming more of a trend.

If so, you must be talking about the couple new droid teams that popped up picking us out all day
Like the wookie said. If they don't want to be respectful, beat them into submission. I do 20 a day, If I need to do them more from my payout through PST payout to train my shardmates to leave me be or deal with me in their payout times, so be it. All part of the game. Previously I'd fight til my payout at 6pm est then not fight again until after 9pm to be respectful.

No, my server norms are Rand, Mirinbrah, Yadnus.
Very insightful, I may just start doing that.
hope it works out for ya though, drives me nuts
- Bored (Who doesn't love to play their characters?)
- Forgetful (I've started a fight at :55 not my payout from 2 to 1, and only looked at the clock time when there was 1 enemy left)
- Spiteful (maybe that person did this to you?)
Or some combination of the above reasons. Hanlon's razor is awesome. I'd apply it here tbh.
I personally think that my server has learned (through weeks of conditioning) that I like to sit at a very particular rank for 90% of the day, and that at 6 PM EST I am *going* to lock first place out if I can. Until then, I try to be friendly. Because life is far too short to be angry.
Also, talking about 100-200 rank group, if I got payout after 3 tries, because I had no way to do last 2, I may need remaining 2 to climb higher after the payout, then use new 5 after reset. Not everyone can play arena in the prescribed hour.
I wish the setup wasn't this unfair, but it is what it is.
A dream that will not happen. But nice
No, only because everyone would have rank 1, literally almost everyone
With that said. I pretty much wait till 1 hour before payout to start jumping, unless I dropped over 20 spots, then I'll start earlier ( sorry central and mounting time ), but stop once I make the top 10. I have only 2 other people ( now, the other 3 I think where banned for Vader exploit ) to contend with for my payouts so lowest I ever finish is 3rd.
There is one person on my bracket that does his hardest to stay 1st. Funny thing is, he is in my payout. I know this because before he got the big head and wanted to win at all times, he only jumped at my pay outs. Well I learned I didn't drop as much during the day finishing 2nd so that's where I would end for last couple weeks. He started winning 1st because I no longer went for it. That's when he started trying to always hold 1st. So now I no longer let him win and have once again started finishing 1st.
