User blog:JPHARP030456/Why join a team?

RR3 is a game with a lot of "faces". Players will focus on those elements in the game which give them the best return on investment; investment being time, time, time and maybe the occasional dollar, yen, RMB, Euro...; return being pleasure in reaching goals. 100% achievement, all cars, top positions in WTT, races, polls...

I have been part of 2 teams, and have given up this "face" of the game because of frustration, bad return on investment, and the occasional dagger in the back. Also the fact that mostly the top 50 in a specific team event are always the same teams, reeking massively of cheats, hacks and other stuff, the main destructive force in vidgames, did not add to my excitement concerning team events.

Nevertheless, I see a lot of players joining teams, investing huge amounts of resources in team events which could be used more economically in other ventures. The return in per hour of team play is in my view massively lower than any other way (farming, special events, career races...)

Soooo. This Blog.

I would be interested to find out the reasons why players join teams, what they get out of it, how "good" teams work, why teams fail...
