Gaining vs losing arena rank

Robert

Unless I'm just not catching the gains or my team stinks and I don't have any...I just realized that you only drop in arena rank from AI battles, never gain. What a crock. Shouldn't you also gain ranks if you successfully defend? Just another way to fleece the player base?

Bit hard, since you switch ranks when you win. How would you suggest we gain rank when you win on defense? Also it wouldn't be fair, you can be #1 without beating the #1

No one has ever conquered a city by successfully defending their own from a Barbarian attack.

How would that work? If you attack the player at #10 and I'm at #9 and player #10 successfully defends they should take my place?

I do not see how it would be fair or make sense.

In your case the only way for you to successfully defend and gain rank is if 1 loses to 4, 3, and 2.... 2 loses to 3 and 4, and 3 loses to 4.

No offense, but this makes no sense.

Yeah, you are defending your rank against an opponent. Why would you go up for beating a team that has a worse rank than you?

And who is going to drop so you can go up? Are you suggesting that you should go up and someone who wasn't even involved in the fight should drop?

The one thing that would be nice is if your defense wins (if you even get one with current poor AI) that it would count in the achievement stats.

You don't gain ground on defense. You hold what you have. You must attack to advance.
