Yes, it is. The bug that made a team of 8 get 1/8ths the drops, then divided 8 ways between the members, etc., is/should be fixed by now.
You still get more tickets, by far, soloing than you do grouping, but the same can be said for drops and grouping in general.

Not so fast.
I just ran a ITF during which I got 5 lvl 50 common IO recipes.
Then I jumped on an 8 person AE team and ran two missions. I got 36 tickets for the first one and 22 for the 2nd one. The price for a lvl 50 Damage IO recipe is 250 tickets.
It's still not close to the rewards you get solo and isn't in the conversation with the rewards you get in the regular game.
Yup, the ticket drop is mildly better, but nowhere near soloing or running a normal TF.
That I could handle as I enjoy teaming. What I cannot handle is the numerous crashes or the bug that sends half the team to a clone of the same map. I hate to say it but teaming is not fixed. Of course, I haven't seen what they worked on during today's downtime and I would think this would be top priority.
No it's not fixed.
I just ran through my farm map which gives me about 3000 tickets total solo (before mission complete bonus). When I was teamed with someone, we each got a little over 1100 tickets each, for a total of 2200 tickets, so a lot of tickets seem to be evaporating going from solo to duo.
So if you want your tickets, keep solo until for real fix this bug. Two strikes so far.

It doesn't seem to be better at all. It's still dividing the per-drop reward by the number of people on the team.
There is no reason for it to work that way. If it is supposed to match normal drops, it should be the full ticket value assigned to a random person on the team. For a team of N players doing something that totals to T tickets, each player should average T/N tickets for the arc. Instead, they are earning T/(N^2).

Yep, we're seeing this tool. Figured they're probably still tracking the numbers.
If it's still AS bad, I wonder if the right version of someone's code didn't get checked out into the right place for buildage or something ^_^.

Yep, that is pretty much the same result I have had. If you want tickets, keep soloing.
I've been soloing a lot since I14 went live due to the ticket-team problem.
I see that they addressed this in a recent patch but haven't actually teamed in a while. So is it better now?
