I realized recently how terrible the team system is

[Zysets]

I've been playing since release and never joined a team until this year, and even then it was just a group of my friends wanting to have that special chat channel more than anything. Teams are pretty much useless.
But I admit to enjoy messing around and taking goofy screenshots in team rooms. They provide a good backdrop for those photoshoots.

If Teams could have at least 300 people...

I still found it to be annoying that they didn't implement some kind of counter to show last login time.
They have it for PSO2es, so i assume that they know how to make it work, but just refuse doing so for some reason.

Team system doesn't do anything in this game, it's honestly just a chat channel (apart from the tree buffs).

Works as party filter, too.
But yeah, team doesn't do much.

PSO2 team indeed leaves much to be desired, since it lacked crucial features that a team structure should have. One can argue whether SEGA have no idea what features team structure should have; or it was deliberately designed that way.

Friend-list at least are slightly better than the team system.

I just want a quest counter in the team room. That's all I want, man.

[wefwq]

I don't think it's even possible since team room count as different block just like player's My Room.

You forgot what teams are best at doing!
Generating drama!

This. Just join a team and say some random racist, offensive stuff, and bam you have tons of white knight there to make you a moral person

So what were teams like in PSO1? Better?

Exactly the same fucking system.

All chat, team logo could be uploaded from an external bmp file.

PSO2's is a better system.

I was gonna come along and say the original PSO didn't have teams. Was that a BB thing or something then? I pretty much played that one once or twice just to see the new areas.

Frankly on the cube you didn't need them. Games weren't locked to blocks, lobbies were small so it was easier to talk to people (not to mention talking was encouraged on the original, but let's not go there again), and you only needed 4 to a party anyways - it was a much easier experience back then.
