I agree on the face of the concept that team events are for teams; however, even the team that places first place in this event will most likely have 20 members on it. If you split the 1,500+40=1,540/20=77 gold each member. However, a team placing the more likely 51-100 spot each member gets 39 gold. Running as a single team I collect the whole 40 if I complete 800 laps, which I will not be running this one but the picture is clear.

If you are willing to put the time in some events don't just pay but pay really well. I have made 560 running as a single member team before placing in the 367th spot for about 10 hours effort and have done 4 events that I made the 300 gold reward plus whatever completion rewards. To each their own, but for me for the most part I find I prefer the greater reward if I am putting in the time. The only way I would join a team is if they were consistently top 100 for every event. Most team events I do put in 3-6 hours on if I do not have a hard school assignment I am working on.
