You can't find 75 point fights if someone hasn't rushed out to that big of a lead ahead of you and been unshielded so you can queue them. So I'm always thankful for the climbers.That said, I don't hit big targets right away, partially our of etiquette, but mostly out of wanting to climb as quickly as possible. If I hit someone right away, or more than once in a short period, of course I'd expect them to be upset. And if they're climbing, their alliance probably is too, and I don't want them slamming me for multiple losses. So I wait on queues at least one match simply out of self-preservation.If there's no other choice, I'll eventually take the points. But hitting people too quickly makes it harder to climb in actuality, so I don't do it.I don't coordinate in chats. This is just what I've figured out of the system over the years.
FokaiHI said: The “etiquette” is more for people that use Line and it only applies if you’re in the same room. It’s funny how the ones here that don’t use Line think this concerns you. People in the rooms know pretty much who they’re going to hit and not hit already. All the shards have the “good guys vs bad guys”.

If you find yourself co-coordinating with dozens of other players via a third party application, and going out of your way to send messages to people who have attacked you IN THE GAME (not in real life, so no physical injury to you) then my own personal opinion is that you're taking things far too seriously. Relax a bit. Did you miss a cover in that event? Don't worry about it. You'll get another chance in the future.I'm about to champ my 50th 4* character, and I don't have Line, nor do I ever plan to install it.Don't get so stressed if you don't finish in the top 10/25/whatever, and start enjoying the game again
FokaiHI said: If you keep circling the same people, they’re floating. It’s the people that are worth 75 that are using a loaner to be wary of. These people will mention to whatever room they’re in that they got hit. Then the people climbing may look for you to hit back. I personally dont care. I already know pretty much who I’m hitting and skipping. Most people in the rooms do as well.

Unshielded.I don't use line, but I have noticed when I am almost at my final climb (I like to make it to 900) sometimes you only have these sort of fluffy targets to choose from (I believe they are called cupcakes). l don't know what they are doing, but it almost seems like these people are bait, and they are EASY and are worth something like 26 points and you go for it because you only needs something like 35 points or something like that, but the second hit (and even if it's another 26 point cupcake, you then get hit by 150 points. If you see those teams, that means you have broken MMR and you are seeing weaker rosters again. It’s possible that it’s a trap team, so they could get your retal node that is worth more points. But, that’s why it’s a good idea to check their roster and their alliance. If they are not from a competitive alliance, it’s most likely safe to hit them without fearing retaliations. Keep in mind, once we break MMR, not only we can see weaker rosters, we are also visible to stronger rosters. That’s why it’s important to play fast when we get to that point.
