Can we please shuffle the shards?

Snoopy4pres

I have two GLs and have finally reached the point where I’m competitive in my arena; however, the group that runs the top of the arena is closed and actively targets anyone that reaches the top 20 to kick them out. It’s coordinated chain attacks. I don’t object to coordinated shard groups but when you’ve completely closed them and won’t allow anyone into even the top 20 this is getting ridiculous. Can we start shuffling the shards every few months to keep these exclusive clubs in check and make it so we don’t have the same people we are fighting every time.

Nope

2 things:

1) that would be fine if the f2p got much less rewards

2) you're equating people who finish top in arena and whales. This is wrong.

In my shard the top PO and whales are the same. Same Guild same people keeping everyone else out. Just let me have 2nd place and enjoy something star wars. Its taking the fun out of the game for me. Its not that I can't beat them I can they just daisy chain me back 16 spots after. I've been nice, asked to be let in don't hit hit people 3 hours in there PO. It is what it is.

Please shuffle arena shards. You don’t have to shuffle them every hour or day. You can just shuffle it every week. The clubs are getting ridiculous. This is not fair at all.

TVF

Sure it is.

Take responsibility for your own success. Start your own shard chat, let enough strong players in to be able to compete with the other shard chat.

Let the meta stay stale for a year and watch people ignoring arena for years suddenly feel entitled to take top ranks.

And you think shuffling shards to group more veteran players with less veteran players is fair?

Arena is in a terrible place right now.

You could try reporting it, as it is a violation against the TOS but I don't know if they care.

What is a violation against the TOS exactly?

Look at all those people doing arena battles breaking the rules!

It's technically collusion and that's against the TOS. But yeah if you have no proof it isn't worth anything

Can you post the TOS? I'm curious how/where it actually talks about "collusion."

"6. Rules of Conduct

And now how do you apply that to arena? For all you know, people might just be doing their 2 arena battles for dailies.

I’m in a good shard that invites anyone who makes top 20 or so I guess technically we collude against CG but definitely not other players. They do specifically call out collusion in the TOS though.

They did say "But yeah if you have no proof it isn't worth anything" though.
