Recently started climbing in the arena and have come across some very hostile people. Is this sometime which should just be tolerated or is there something in place to prevent this happening. Why does making progress in the arena seem to make some people very angry, why can't they just welcome a new challenge?
Anyway, what level of abuse should be allowed? And is there anything in place to sort out those who are bullying other players?

But their actions and others like them abusing the game should face some sort of punishment or temporary ban.
But there's a lot you can actually do. This sounds like you are not aware of anyone else's payout times and just climb randomly. If that's the case, start with learning their POs using swgoh.gg. This is probably why the whole shard chat is targeting you right now. Then start climbing without hitting the ones with upcoming POs.
As far as them telling you what to do, no there is nothing in place to stop them from telling you what you can and cant do.
Some of the shards request you take something other than the top 3 for x amount of weeks
no reason to avoid arena. you have options. Most would suggest trying to work with them, asking for a PO list so you can avoid players on their climb, or just expressing an interest in joining the group. others would suggest ignoring their statements and just battle it out to get as high as you can in the rankings.
I have never been in my arena shard chat. But when I got Rey and took #1, one person in the arena chat reached out to me asking me not to hit them before their payout, They explained they are Free to play. I obliged, They were polite in their request.
I have heard from him, that others in the shard chat aren't happy because I tend to snipe them or whatever. I told him, tell them tough cookies. I play when I want. I explained, he was the only one who reached out to me.
And that when I had my GAS team and my DR team, they weren't showing me any love.
I am a whale, they know it. They know there is nothing preventing me from spending and holding #1 all day, all week all month all year. It's now them who are having to play nice. And I'm not in the shard.
My advice to you is, if you have the team to take a top spot... do it. Don't be apologetic either.
Which would lead to people constantly being sniped and everyone losing a ton of crystals. Great idea to make more money for CG, terrible for players.
That can’t be right. I learned whales HATE f2p players
Can always tell who is not in a chat. It still has to be earned every day.
I am not intentionally sniping anyone. I'm just playing. Again, only one person in the shard has ever reached out to me. That one person is kinda the go between for the shard and me. Still, if no one is gonna talk to me directly and tell me their PO... then why bother?
its a vicious circle of hate. but only because we all love each other so much.
Last time I counted we have over 100 active players listed on our Discord Arena chat. Accidental drops do happen daily, but usually people apologize for the mistakes done and nobody makes a fuss about it (we also have a bot to record every change in the ranking, so no one can get away with sniping). Players with GLs usually drop their mods or change teams after their PO. And people who have the same PO coordinate to take turns for the ranking. And we welcome new players as soon as they make it to the top 50 by themselves.
I think this shall be the way. No need to make other players life miserable. But looks like that is not the case everywhere.
My shard has a few friendlies and then it has Team Instinct. Some are great, one particular player is probably so bored out of their mind they kept bumping me down 11 hours before their own PO. So I started a grand scheme of picking a few targets on their shard list and focused on making their climb more difficult . The TI person is now online when they should be sleeping trying to keep me down. Small victory when I sniped 1st for my PO cause they thought I changed my PO. They even spent crystals to try to get me back down. But even GL Rey cant beat 2 GAS teams in 2 minutes apparently.
Anyways, they should move squad rewards to GAC so the whales can duke it out amongst themselves. I dont see much cheating in GAC anyways and if I do I doubt ill throw a fit for a few losses here and there if theyre sneaky cheaters. The obvious ones will be caught with .gg
That would just be a waste of time. We are all on a separate chat and could simply screen shot our teams and get right back to business as usual.
1. The chill kind where people are normal humans and will move out of the way for each other so everyone can get a decent payout.
2. The kind that is full of sad, angry dingdongs who apparently have so little control over their lives that they feel the need to bully people in a mobile game so they can feel better about themselves.
Sounds like you got #2. Tough break.
you have over a hundred people in your shard chat, coordinating 100 payouts? or?
