Will you and your teammates be participating? If so will your co-op be competing for top places or just taking a relaxed approach to pick up a few rewards?

First time racing alone on a copper league. Got 2 chest. 3 glass and 5 dynamites. I feel robbed, I should have left the Co op way earlier since they frown upon hoppers.
I like the ROC. I came first in the first one and second last time. I haven't started it yet, but I am not going to chase top place this week. I will be happy with the gifts from the special tasks. I am to tired with all of the events Playrix have put out lately to put the effort in this time
something strange is going, we are in lead now with more than double the score as 2nd place but only because the rest of the competitors has scored a single point in at least 5 hrs. now.
@winnie67, I won't worry too much about it. But some possibilities are they are delayed start groups but some idiot in that group unfortunately took a task. They have gotten plant gazillion rubber trees and send gazillion bananas boats tasks. Those take more than 5h in big groups. But when they do complete their score increases fast. And they might also be blocking some tasks like feeding and maybe mining too as they are waiting for high voltage event on 17th. There is a mining event end of Oct or early Nov.

I'm noticing not only a large gap but seems like with my large lead my tasks have gotten over the top hard (solo racer). I went from 30 feed to 90 today, 15 helicopter to 53, and mining has tripled too. I know for a fact it wasn't like this last race
My latest feed is now 234. I'm fine if this is how is gonna be once you hit a certain point, but if this is some sort of "catch up" mechanic to let others get closer I'm gonna be done with township

We are a simple three person coop. Two of us decided to do RoC this time (both roughly level 140). Things started fine - - easy, fun, good numbers to do, decent prizes. Then the numbers started getting crazy last night for just two of us. Today it is lunacy (after hitting 1000 keys??)! We have gotten maybe 5 or 6 of those timed prizes completed, not all of them to be sure! The current screen wants five tasks: 39 coats in 8 hours (timed for a prize) for two racers!, 16 coconuts, 33 trains, 5 aeroplanes and 25 balloons (which gobble the yarn from the coats!!). Sorry gentlefolk, this is for the birds! Stick RoC...some place not nice!

We have two racers and the tasks have been pretty simple. We just play when we can. We weren't going to even try last time, but we noticed no one else was in our group so we put in some effort - not much - and took first place. We wondered if it was because we had just dropped down to silver league the week before so we were racing silver players, not gold players? IDK, but on purpose we dropped down to silver again the third week of the season so that our most recent week was silver. Won the week (and good rewards) to get back into gold and sure enough, we have some easy competition in the ROC again and without a rush have the lead for first place. I think we have a new strategy!

1000 keys i think is the trigger, I concur. Happened around the same area for me too... I'm getting tasks like 15 corn dogs now, solo co op. I'm hoping it's not just for the leaders as a slowdown mechanism

No worries there. Take a look at FB under that colouring book ad and see all the comments flowing in about RoC numbers being err...umm...uhh...larger than acceptable to put it nicely?!
Our pace has virtually stopped until that coat task disappears and we get planes, trains and whatever else cleared. The competition must be feeling it too as they have sort of ground to a halt as well. I do say, enjoy your slogfest and know it has nothing to do with your position in the race.
If there are tasks that'll be done in normal game play - fine. If not - doesn't matter.
So I will end in 8th place. That's 30.000 coins. That's quite o.k. for not putting any extra effort on it.
I don’ t care either. I will not waste my resources in this race to nowhere. My leitmotif: relax & enjoy it. 30000 coins is more than enough for doing nothing
I am solo and my tasks have also gone up in terms of numbers, but what I find worse is the short time with the special tasks. First I had 10 trains in 8 hours (luckily 50%) and now I had 11 sneakers in 8 hours which is impossible.
we are a 6 player co-op and 5 have to do ROC by accident (forgot to opt out...bummer).
and those numbers started to climb after reaching a score of 700.
4 planes are now worth 11pts. no longer 15pts., 15pts. trains is now at 33
quantity goes up score goes down
and our gift tasks now start around midnight, which is a perfect time if you plan to not sleep anyhow There should be a penalty if a co-op fails to do a gift task in time.
Touche PX you did it again, screwing and messing with players (depends on liking or hating ROC)
hint hint PX, next time the plane event is up i'm sure you'll find ways to mess it up nicely too. i am counting on you Playcrux.
We have had some impossible (without tc) Gift tasks with products that only a couple racers can produce due to level. We complete the tasks but no where near the time required to get the gift. I had opted out of the last and hoped this one would be better but it’s just as much or more of a grind this time. I foresee opting out for future RoC.
