The arena needs improvement

v02

It's no secret that the arena in the game is negotiable. For these purposes, shard chats are used where players exchange their payments and divide the rewards among themselves in time. This kills any interest in achieving the highest result. After all, someone does nothing to achieve the top (only writes in a contract chat), while someone, on the contrary, rambles and passes on their own. So why not make life difficult for "not playing fair"? There is a saying: "once you criticize, then suggest." So here's my suggestion:
- hide the nickname and the power of the arena in choosing an opponent;
- leave the friendship offer unchanged at the end of the battle;
- on the "Places" tab, display either the first 5 or modify it altogether;
- and the arena interface itself would be nice to modify (as in the "traveler's guide")
Sorry for my English.

If I understand this, you are asking to hide the names and power levels of teams in arena so share chats become worthless, because you think shard chats are unfair?

The point of the shard chat was to maximize the amount of crystals collected by working with others to prevent using crystals on refreshes to climb the rankings. Your suggestion makes it more difficult for everyone.

1) this is a dreadful idea. When I climb to get my payout, I like to avoid people who have their’s before me or shortly after me, and I like them to do the same.
2) Of all the things in current arena mode, this IS the one thing I'd change. It's an uneccesary button click 99% of the time
3) I don't know what this means
4) I don't know what this means

Shard chats aren't the problem. The reason shard chats are needed is the problem. A better fix is a complete overhaul of arena to be more like grand arena where you do your five battles at any time with no cooldown in between instead of the musical chairs format we have now.

For maximum benefit, you are using a third party application (disc...). I remember something is written in the license...

That is CG’s fault. The players have been resourceful and did this to help each other get as much crystals as possible. If you have a problem with it, ask CG to change the arenas to something similar to what @crzydroid said.

That’s the ideal, but far too many shards chats enjoy persecuting “outsiders” and encourage sniping and climbing after payout. No one should need to use Discord to play this game (and many players can’t use it for a variety of reasons). There are a variety of things CG could do to minimize its negative impact on players, but they won’t bother.

What they do is out of my control. As I previously said, this is CG’s fault, and while they could fix it, they don’t seem to care.

You're right about the ingenuity of the players. And nevertheless, the solution I proposed to this problem does not change the mechanics of the arena and is less labor-intensive than what was suggested by @crzydroid , which means that the implementation will take a minimum of time.

But will have dreadful results.

Hiding player names wouldn't change anything.

v02

Will change.If nothing is done then nothing will definitely change.

Better than CG making it worse. After the Conquest disaster, I don’t trust them to “improve” any game mode currently.
