Given a shard mate sent me a recent picture of seven star Thrawns in the same ranking, it's clearly a comparison of the difference between shards of the same vintage. The fairest thing to do would be to reshuffle July-September 2016 ship shards such that there is a equal distribution and not the nonsense we face at the moment
Look at my friend who is on another shard. (Edit : its a sept 2016 account )
Screen has been taken 5 min ago. It's completly impossible on our shard ... All this story make me sick . And no response and explanation from the dev make me even more silly.
I wont spend an € until this problem is resolve and I hope, but wont convince, others will do the same. It's completly unfair and discouraging.
Rank 286 with a 5 star capital and 4 star ships? Sounds right to me
English isnt my native language but as I said on the first sentence my friend is on another shard, we started playing almost at the same time, but we are on a different ship shard. 5 stars capital ships rank286 is impossible on our shard right now.
For those saying there is no precedence, I refer to modgate where an error in calculation made the game unplayable. This was immediately rectified within days when most whales threatened to quit the game. Changes can be made.
I'm just appalled with the lack of response to this topic from CG. There is no other business where you can just ignore the concerns of 1000s of paying customers.

Well, that doesn't surprise me at all. All we can do is stop giving them our money...and I call upon all who are in this ridiculous shard to do so.
Do you think it is fair that players who broadly started on the same day are subject to such different treatment on a daily basis?
Is it also fair that those who were more active in the opening months now are required to make a multiple of the effort for less rewards, again on a daily basis?
With more content on the way, do you think players who are competitive can afford to put in two hours every day to reach the crystal rewards on a ship shard, despite having maxed ships and gear 11/12 pilots?
The answers are obvious and I urge some form of reshuffle of shards of the same vintage. The recent reward change was undertaken to add some fuel to certain shards, however, this was like pouring kerosene on a chemical fire!
What I would expect now is some kind of reply from Developers. Hopefully they can share mkre than just simple Yes / No.
Do they even read the PvP and Rivalry sub-forum? This post is swimming among a plethora of looking for shardmates posts. Maybe repost in the feedback section or possibly bugs since you think the shard was an error?

Yeah it's pretty annoying seeing this bumped to the top every time I come back looking to see if my shard mates are here. It's been two weeks of OP restating the same argument to bump this post. Just because you're doing more than saying "bump" doesn't make it any better.
Sucks to say this, but I doubt CG is going to do anything about this shard. It's as if they took the 500 most competitive people from summer 2016 and dumped them here. I would be more competitive in ships but the amount of time it takes and crystal refreshes needed to climb daily, is too tedious. And if CG won't break up this shard, it would help if I could at least pick my own payout that isn't prime family time with the wife and kid.
I copied the gp from the top 50 using screenshots taken two hours ago. Sorry for the long post but I hope seeing the numbers will get people to realize how bad this shard is.

I too am in this shard and find it ridiculous. For those stating that the devs say they can't or won't manipulate arena, I call kittens. I'm not sure what the devs have said on this subject, but I feel certain that they reorganize arena's from time to time. I've seen influxes of new people pop up in my squad arena shard having never seen them anywhere close to me before, often 10 people at a time. You can't make me believe that they don't reorganize/redistribute those servers from time to time, if only for the reason of stabilizing (from an IT perspective - not an in-game perspective) servers.

You can't make me believe that they don't reorganize/redistribute those servers from time to time, if only for the reason of stabilizing (from an IT perspective - not an in-game perspective) servers.
Just to (hopefully) close this out, I wanted to reconfirm that:
1. The game doesn't have separate servers or shards, but actually different leaderboards
2. We haven't merged leaderboards or culled them for less active players or anything like that
3. We currently have no plans to merge, cull, etc. leaderboards. However, if that changes the players will be well notified.
@Huatimus - you are of course correct . They have not changed a leader-board to date, largely because almost every shard is roughly balanced. Some are slightly more or less competitive than others, but were created randomly so the standard deviation is relatively modest. Ships were created differently, however, and as stated above, artificially created a shard with the top players from every arena shard in a three month period
To my relief, it sounds that so many people from this shard have contacted EA Support that there appears to be a solution coming in the future. No idea on timing but they have effectively acknowledged the issue and that there will be some form of fix (again, no clue on what the remedy is)

What news do you have on this? Can you share what you've learned?
Contacted customer support in parallel to posts on here and on Reddit. After a number of responses, it seemed to escalate and eventually was told the development team were looking at this issue. Latest message stated it will be fixed, albeit they won't commit to a time frame. They have no reason to lie and would guess we're looking at a month or two as opposed to weeks. That's all I know at this stage

Well that's certainly better than no news! Thanks for persevering!
It really is appreciated AJRSuperstar... This shard is crazy as hell. I barely need 3 battles in my mini's shard to make it to top 1. In here, sometimes I need to get 3 refreshes to climb up as one can easily fall from rank 1 to below 100 in less than 24 hrs.
Also thank you for spearheading this and keeping it bumped and active AJRSuperstar. I also submitted a feedback ticket last night referencing this thread.
Thanks @AJRSuperstar and those who helped drawn the attention of the developpers on this issue. I am also on this hellish ship arena shard and it really does kill the pleasure in this whole segment of the game for me.
Also, on the financial side for EA, I am spending some money in other area of the game (PvE, classical arena) because it can make a notable difference. I don't spend any money on ships because I would get zero return on investment in the ship arena (as the top 200 is literally filled with players with fleets at 400k power who despite investing easily 200+ EUR to level up their capital ship & pilot stay between 100th and 250ish position for a very very marginal reward in ship tokens and no crystal reward).
I am also in the fleet shard and have agree that there is no return on investment with ships. I am looking forward to some sort of reshuffle where it won't take an hour or two of prime family time to make the top 20.
Thanks AJ and all who have been pursuing a change!!
Yup - has been horrific today. Hopefully any quality of life update restores some form of equilibrium to ships shards, especially given the amount of people who brag about an uncontested top spot without having to burn a refresh...
Unless a developer can give some guidance it's impossible to say as dealing with EA customer support is both frustrating and tedious. Despite having the case number and at least two members of CS explicitly saying a solution was being worked on at the end of last year, I can't seem to get past the first layer of generic responses

Well that's certainly better than no news! Thanks for persevering!
Thanks @AJRSuperstar and those who helped drawn the attention of the developpers on this issue. I am also on this hellish ship arena shard and it really does kill the pleasure in this whole segment of the game for me.
Also, on the financial side for EA, I am spending some money in other area of the game (PvE, classical arena) because it can make a notable difference. I don't spend any money on ships because I would get zero return on investment in the ship arena (as the top 200 is literally filled with players with fleets at 400k power who despite investing easily 200+ EUR to level up their capital ship & pilot stay between 100th and 250ish position for a very very marginal reward in ship tokens and no crystal reward).
Best regards
Thanks AJ and all who have been pursuing a change!!
