You're a disgrace, chess.com (staff)

Current situation:
Player in my division is doing arena.
18 bullet matches (1 min) + 11 blitz matches (3 min) = 27 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss.
244 trophies achieved
He's getting free wins against players 500-2000 ELO lower than him
Dear chess.com staff, is this considered normal? Fair play? How am I supposed to compete in so called Leagues tournament?

It's a common complaint.
When I was playing bullet arena a few weeks ago, I was in between games I'm checking the standings. I had to laugh... 2nd place was some 2600 IM and first place was a 500 rated player...
The same person? I know that titled players can play with their second ID rated 500.
Be interesting if one person can win both prizes..actually winning all 3 probably is the future.
Arenas are live events where one game begins immediately after the last one ends. It would be very awkward for a single person to win first through third under 3 different accounts... while not impossible I assume it's never happened.
The 500 was leading because they played other 500s.

Why?
It's Elo. ELO is the Electric Light Orchestra.

Naturally, the incentive to demonstrate a divergence from usual norms, by expressing thought in complex and meandering sentences, isn't to be taken as an obligation, since any judgement the reader may confer upon such endeavours may not be mitigated by an empathy with the author's intentions; whether or not those intentions are consciously rational or merely the expression of an unconscious narrative which, when unpacked and set out clearly, may well demonstrate an inner and hidden antipathy towards ideas or ideals which the author may believe himself to espouse. In short, sir, the writer may be confused.
Perhaps not as confused as the reader.

First of all...
Before replying to @ren97ren I checked some of the topics they'd made. The average number of words per post for this kid might be 3. Some posts contained zero words. Just a single punctuation mark for example.
Second of all, I said adults use big sentences. I didn't say adults use big sentences exclusively.

Some people actually try to compete in the leagues by winning games properly, with matches against similar ELO players, while you allow arena matches to be a disgusting trollfest for the high ELO players, feeding them easy wins against players even 2000 ELO lower. I can't express my disgust in any better way than this picture.
Chess.com policy = zero fair play, prefferential treatment to high ELO players. Should I bother any longer?
Who knew that there's "cheating" going on in leagues/arenas...

imagine having a fair play policy while encouraging unfair play
Imagine having a rating of 1523 for 7 years.
you should pat yourself on the back going to to toe with those twice your grade and in those games giving them a fight for so many moves , its not an ideal situation but you did yourself proud , and when you face those nearer your grade you have this forged in adversity steel to you to fall back on , good on you

What's the point of being a GM if you can't snack on noobs?

it's just another way to try to keep people on the site longer.
There must be separate rating pools. This league business is a tournament- just formatted differently. For fair results , participants need be paired agains each other. I’ve asked about and no answer is given by staff just how members are being paired that opted out of the leagues- seems they must be in their own pairing pool and league players in another. If there is cross pairings- who knows? I get the impression Staff avoids the questions being raised so as not to discourage participation.
Pairings aren't impacted at all by leagues.
