I would love to see teams return. I would prefer a system of carrots instead of punishment though, a team should be more about giving rewards instead of punishing people that doesn’t have a team.
The incentive to get a team together should however be very strong.

Locking rating into teams is a bit of an issue though.

A simple and fairly shallow addition, but probably would be pretty effective, would be to add teams but not have a team rating per se. If everyone would save their personal rating and the team rating would become the median of the players in the team, so you would be able to hop between different teams, then that’d bring back the cosmetics part of teams at least.

But I don’t think xrealm works with locking rating to the teams though. It relies more on realm communities and social status in these communities to work properly.

As for addressing the motivation to form teams and play more regularly together in this world of xrealm, I’d suggest:

Ok, so I posted this in another thread just now, but the post was a bit long so I’ll make it into its own thread to hopefully get more people to read it: Alright, so a fundamental issue in the group f***er is that people are generally distrustful of random strangers there, and want to increase their own rating but not lose it. If people don’t want to bring back arena teams which also used to serve as the social glue for people to work together, there is another way to do it. This way is a bi…

^ that. It’s basically just a way to give people a stronger reason to want to play with the same people more often.
Because this eternal game of shuffle is just dysfunctional.
