Is it just my imagination, bad luck or who knows what, but these team challanges seem to be getting increasingly useless for solo teams. I know the very idea of a team is to have more than one member, but until this last iteration of the game I was able to make most of it (at least of those that rewarded first 1000).

Up untill last update, I had very little trouble, if any, placing in the first 1000. I could run with pauses, quit way before it ends and still place in 900s. If I played relentlesly, sometimes I was even able to get in 700s! Guided by that experience, I recon I had just about enough time to farm a bit and collect some extra gold prior to starting laps challange as it overlaped with bonus fame. That meant that I had to start the challange mid day, so I run it all the way till it ended and managed to end 25 places short of 200 gold reward. Needless to say I was pissed to see that I wasted whole day only to be "rewarded" with useless R$. That experience made me use different strategy for the next elimination challange. So, I started early and run pretty much non stop till it ended. Howewer, my score this time was no better, as I ended in 10005th spot.

I don't know if FM changed something, or I just run out of luck, but this made me think if I should even bother with these challanges beyond the bare minimum. Even that bare minimum becomes questionable as time needed/reward ratio is not good at all. At level 451, running PTT enduro for the same time (depending on starting point) would get me at least between 150ish gold and with just a bit of strategy regarding that starting point even 250ish gold easily!

Anyone else have the same experience/thoughts about team challanges these days?
