It’s all to do with how many players are taking part and how many of those players are actually contributing.
From what I experienced, I get placed in the Top 3 players in linkups quite often because a lot of players in linkups don't contribute much or they have not correctly fulfilled the objectives.😃

I might just take up your offer on that.
My friends rarely play NFS Unbound, so I had been playing the game alone most of the time.
What's your in-game name? And do you play on PC or console?

AshleeOrson Also doesn't help when some of the objectives are things that a lot of player seem to not understand, like Drafting. I've seen so many Linkup's fail because players just don't seem to know how to Draft.
There's one objective that can cause linkup failures as well. The objective that requires players to drift and then hitting the linkup barrels and props.
Sometimes, players just straight up hit the linkup barrels and props without drifting and it results in destroying the barrels and props with no points awarded / increase in progress. The barrels and props can take a while to respawn, resulting in losing time and cause possibly result in a linkup failing.
So, a general question, are most gamers too stupid to successfully complete linkups? There was a linkup today at lunchtime, you have to complete daily tasks, otherwise you won't go to any linkups, but there were 8 gamers in the linkup, but not one was able to complete the linkup tasks, 2 rounds out of 4 rounds were completed, that can't be right If you want to follow someone to slipstream, they immediately turn around and go the other way, and so it goes on. That's awesome, what's going on there, all little children?
I'm half convinced people that play linkups aren't actually reading the objectives. I even dedicated a quickchat phrase to "draft behind me" and people still don't actively try to complete these objectives.
That and the objectives where we need to DRIFT whilst smashing linkup barriers and barrels. I see players just driving straight into them. Depending on the linkup area, I've lost so many final rounds due to these issues.
Haha, I wouldn't be surprised.
I'm thankful for game pass/EA play for including this game so the servers are populated, but it probably introduced a lot of kids to the game that, yeah, maybe can't or doesn't read those objectives.
Burnout paradise had the same problem: people actively not completing objectives.
Yeah sometimes it feels like they are just trolling, but other times it's obvious they don't read the objective especially when you need to reverse thru gates and people will just keep driving through them normally, usually smashing into you and I just think, is it that hard to read?
Sometimes I think people just show up and expect everyone else to do the work, or they don't actually know what is going on. Had someone join me when I was solo at the beginning and got %100 by myself even after they joined.
