Serious question, recent Jungle race, I really did my bit with nearly 50k points which was still more than the next 3 teammates. The most galling part was that the team lead operatives 3 accounts but that didn't really show as an advantage during race. Anyway, get my 15 montezuma cells after we finish 6th, and after a day, the teammate who came third gave me her 3 cells. The second placed finisher, the team lead seems to not want to let go of his Montezuma cells, I had always assumed that it was polite to donate them to the winning racer.

I think that his nose was put out because he couldn't keep up in the race but the worse part is that I asked the rest of team what they thought of the above and the silence was deafening, which makes me feel that this team isn't for me. Any views from forum here welcome, many thanks

@Ragita-Jewmar Wow never heard of a race rewards cell etiquette but that said to participate in race is a team effort and yes there is a ranking system but the nr 1 gets more rewarded I personally think that the cells the others get are their own and not to give to the nr 1 ranked.
Don't know how many cells you get in total as a team, but not enough to craft the monster i think, so I don't really know why this is even an issue.

Hmm no I am sorry I do not agree with this. It is a team race and each member (hopefully) contributes to the place you finish at. Now honestly it is never going to be fair because each team probably consists of f2p as well as p2p, with the p2p racers ranging all up and down the spectrum. Then you add in the fact that some play more than others so therefor their contributions are much higher. With all that said, no I do not think that the cells should be given to the top of the teams. If players choose to do so, than that is nice of them but they in no way should feel obligated nor required to do so. SP tried to make this a little better by adding the individual rewards, but the team rewards that every who qualifies gets is for each player to do with as they choose.

Let me also add this, if I had been a team member who you proposed this to the team...I doubt my response would have been as polite.

@Marianne-van-Es Good points Marianne, and yes none can do much with the cells 1st =15, 2nd=10 and 3rd=3 from the individual rewards section. Point is no-one can do anything with the cells individually for probably 1 month until they before available more widely. In this instance, not the most impressive monster either. But what I meant to emphasise in my post is that my final race score was higher than the next 3 highest scores COMBINED. Therefore without my efforts, probably would not have ended up as the 6th placed team and a legendary monster as the team reward. So not much gratitude shown by team was my initial reaction. You could say perhaps that without their contributions we would have finished lower placed but as a top 100 global team, my teammates just let me do all the heavy lifting in the event. Am I just being too greedy on the principle of the cells? If so, on the next race, may just not race as hard

@Ragita-Jewmar I dont know how long you are with this team but getting the price together is whats important and some as @Nynaevelan say can do more then others because they have more time or because they are higher level players and craft runes easier farm more food get more gold out of their habitats or have fully ranked guardians. What im trying to say if your in a nice loyal team everyone does what he or she can if that is not the case then you move but not because they won't give you cells because you are ranked first you get your reward for that from the game not from your team mates
