I don't think trading affects solo races much at last not if the duration is <4 hours.
Once you hit cruel the area levels change slowly and it's more important to get certain items.

On normal the level changes almost each area so it's useless to trade if you get better items 10 minutes later.

You don't think one player farming currency for another player is an issue? Seriously?

The same players abuse other players to push them through certain quests or get certain wps in party races.

but thats one of the concepts of "party" dont you think? question is about to be able to party play in solo races trading/farming currency for friends

You don't understand what I mean!
It's not 1 party!

There is a party of 6 each class once.
There are at last 4 pushers.

The party of 6 is usually exping on Ledge, Coves and Western forest, while the Pushers prepare Brutus, Merveil, Sins and Weaver.
Those pushers invite 5 players leave party once the TP has been entered the 6th player joins.


The pushers are only accelerating the party of 6 to Vaal.
Once Vaal has been killed the party progresses in Cruel on a slower pace or farms ledge in cruel.


While the party ends up level 32+ the pushers end up level 22-25.

Turn Global on and you will see who acts as pusher by first entering Weaver or sins, while you can /whois the "leaders" playing in western forest.

Well survived the desync fest that is Brutus only to be stun locked not once, but twice, by two seperate groups of blue Goatmen shaman spamming shock nova in narrow canyons. RNG death to be sure as there is no way to fight past that...

Was a lot of fun until then!


Edit
With the time I had left I rerolled and went back. Brutus wasn't as desynced for some reason. Died again to Goatmen proving that fighting them is definitely suicidal, running past only sometimes so.

To die half hour before the end of the race is harsh. Damn you desyncs!!!

Modem bombed out for a good 10-15 minutes, no amount of trading could make up for it.

Extremely boring solo Good race, I traded people for free items. Gave away my cold resist rings after killing merveil, got a sweet rare short bow for free =P. No movespeed boots the whole 3 hours though

what level were people killing brutus at? I died as the #1 ranger level 11 with 280 hp to brutus :( man doing that solo instead of a pub group like I did in the week turbo race is a god damned nightmare. In hindsight I should of backtracked and got the med chest quest reward for a bigger HP flask and phase run. (I was TurboPoison)

I'd be a lot more mad if It wasn't for the fact that I would of had to leave during the last hour of the race anyway, would of lost my top spot regardless. Still nice to see that I can actually race at a decent speed.

Turbo race really are a whole lot of fun. Had a few close calls like when I tried to rush past that rhoa boss and almost got swarmed by a herd of rhoas.

No stats this time sorry all.

Not a single alch or rare maul all game, but I did get and all that move speed/ attack speed. So one of the best runs Ive ever had. GG.
