A guild mate of mine hit and held #1 in Arena yesterday (first time) and we had a mini guild celebration about it on Discord. Then he tells me that he received a message from the guy he apparently sniped for 1st. It was a rather polite congratulations message that also came with some rules of etiquette about how impolite it is for #5 to snipe the #1, #2, or #3 positions. He went on to say that the top #4 and #5 should battle among themselves because the 200 gem difference between 1st and 5th is a huge burn, etc.
Now my first though about this was **** AYFKM?!? Is this just a few guys that have ruled the top positions for so long that they came up with their own rules. And do they really think this is legitimate?

OK, I think this is enough validation for me. Thank you!!!!!
I can say one thing, if it were me i would be pumped and battle for it no matter what. On the other hand, they may now all target you so i'm not sure. But at end of the day it's just a game so i would probably NOT follow their Rules and enjoy the game.
Completely agree! Just a game in the end, enjoy some competition. There are enough rules already in this game, not going to follow some additional made up ones
haha AMEN and best of luck!
So yeah, he's probably just used to the way he's been doing things at his timezone, and you upset the natural order of things. That whole "4th and 5th should battle" is ****, go for first every time.
HOWEVER, there *are* rules on the forum, let's watch the language *and abbreviations).. even if it's filtered there are people that can see it.
Just saying.
It all started 2hrs before payout, I was 6th, he was 10th, we kept switching back and forth until I had to use a refresh, I backed down from the rank swapping and took 8th, then 5th (rank 4 was a tough fight if I recall). Then this **** took 5th from 6th, yes you read that right; he used an arena battle to move up ONE rank, then took 1st with about 30 minutes left until payout. I got fed up with this piece of crap and used a cooldown refresh to lock him out for the remaining 10 minutes while I held 1st.
If you bothered to read through the rank swaps, you'll notice he specifically targetted me for most of the fights, for what seemed to be no reason at all.
Also, some backstory to my payout time for my shard...up until recently there had been only two active players and we usually hold 1st and 2nd by payout, we never colluded but there seemed to be a mutual understanding, with a few exceptions, but never a spiteful case such as the one detailed above. Now, there's two more active players during my payout (one of whom is a guildmate). So yeah, a grand total of 4 active players during my payout and yet this one guy tried his darnedest to be a dbag. In this case, I'm glad I knocked him down to 5th and kept him there for 10 minutes. I can only imagine him sitting there rapidly tapping refresh while I had him locked out.

That's good for yourself, too, as you might get counterattacked by the player you beat to get #1. Also try not to attack in the last 15-20 minutes before the full hour if it's not your payout (if you can avoid it). You might unwittingly snipe someone at their payout.
Pretty sure this is NOT the first rule of Fight Club, and that you are breaking the REAL first rule...
Yeah, we're not even supposed to talk about it, Tyler said so!
We gotta get EVRT's balls.... You know, the ones he uses to play snooker!
I wrote a similar version about that on forum rules, you should check it out.
Erm, no! as a top #10'er, I want to be in the highest placed spot I can be at 6pm BST,... that is all! No **** etiquette required!
How do u recieve messages other than guild messages??
You turtle.. weak! I run my arena team, 24/7... come beat me!
Also, given your Forum name this is #notthegameyouarelookingfor... Try Cersei's Tower Twist!
We have a very active Discord server. My guild mate EVRT received a forum message cause his IGN and Forum name are the same.
