How to make team races fair? One aspect is your team has been matched with other hopefully similar teams but then 1 team replacers most of their members with new much highest level ones. Now there is little point on racing or spending gems except to complete 4 laps. Teams replacing inactives or filling places after members leaving is inevitable, but replacements need to be consistent with level of the team. I would propose a system where say team mp had a maximum allowed value and/or a cap on level or mp for each member of team. Matching isn't always fair and there will always be teams that are up against the best, but this could make races a lot more fun and interesting for a lot of teams.

@mmmm So when does this cap get set, at the beginning of the race?

@Kaiju would think it would be when the teams have been matched, could leave a reasonable threshold. For example this would eliminate scenarios such as if all the teams in your group originally have total mp around 40-80k then one team replaces most members and their mp goes up to over 250mp.

People complain about the races all the time, and it falls on deaf ears. Spending gems puts money in their pockets to pay their bills. My personal feeling is nobody joins the team during the race, if that means no war during those 10 days, so be it.

No joining a team during the race would be great but not gonna happen. Enabling the groups to stay fairer match would encourage more gem spending for a lot of teams as they battle for 1st place. Once you get a team in your group that has an unfair advantage there's no point in racing anymore and that higher lvl team doesn't have any competition to race against, so no incentive to spend gems either except to stay comfortably in the lead.

The team lead has to do that, making the team private. SP won't.
