What's up with the arena?!

OnJouney

Well.. Have been around 100-200 for a few weeks and now I suddenly got pushed to the close 400. And in the top 100 I see countless Mol Eliza Players. Someone knows what's that about?

CG bots... To push down players and force them to spend money to keep up...

Crabs in a bucket my friend.

BOBAFEDUP

Hmm, I know that is one of the default names. I have a friend that uses that name

It been theorised that server/shards are being merged. Thus, ranks are being re-allocated.
In My experience, I've notice small rank shifts when I was in the 100s tiers. This is strange as who would challenge for a small Rank swap in the 100s rank tier. It not solid proof, but very suspicious.

I am rank 160 & i have seen a bunch of load of Mol Eliza's everywhere about like 9, 10 accounts

Welp, thanks for the answer! Since there are many new names I guess it merged or moved me to a different server maybe.

If there is a server merge your average finish should be half as good with no recourse as everyone around you has the same refresh habits.

Therefore unless you permenantly drop by 100% a server merge is unlikely to have occurred.

True. Two days ago it was easy for me to stay in TOP 20 and now I have to fight and spend crystals to stay in TOP 50

Same on our shard, suddenly a whole new slew of previously unseen names in the top 20.

Something is happening. Part of it is maybe a few people coming back to grind the cap lift. Also, another factor is people grinding more and trying their teams more often as they level. Intensity of Arena increased including CG bot activity.

Why do you guys think there are CG bots?

@OnJouney - Mol Eliza is one of the default names when you start to play and EA did not put In an option to change usernames so you will see a lot of them for people that skipped by

This is a joke. Op's question has been answered many times. The search button is there for a reason.
