Put me down as being very anti-team at this point.

I think it has been a long time since the formation of a team in one of these games has been a net benefit. What tends to happen is that people rely too much on interaction within the team, get bogged down in it, and then suddenly, after one or two people drop out, find themselves stuck in a pretty awkward situation with no easy way out. I understand [i]why[/i] people are tempted to form them, but given how early into the journey we are – coupled with the success we are having as is – I'd certainly advise not rushing into something like that.
