For this tier zero implementation, contract sharing isn't part of it? We're all in a group, he picks up a quest, and we don't all suddenly get the quest?

TL;DRCorrect, tier zero has no contract or reward sharing, because doing it properly needs deep changes to the mission code and wasn't ready.

Correct. Not for tier zero. Yeah, we're trying to make it so that you can even complete a mission based on the party. So even if he has the mission and everybody is there with him trying to get it done, I think that he still needs to be the one to complete the mission in order to get the reward payoff. And so that's one of those issues of: this needs to be dealt with in a deep and holistic way, or else things like that just won't work the way that they're expected to. As far as reward sharing, we were initially thinking maybe we'll just split evenly, but not everybody's going to want to do that. Where are we going to put the options to opt in or out of that system? And it's just not ready yet.

It wasn't a free feature, unfortunately. Something like, and Ken could probably speak a bit more to this, having your vehicle be unlocked for your group members, you could get that in pretty quickly with the systems you already have. We'd probably just have a half-assed solution of trying to get missions to work with groups. So Calix said it best, really: a holistic solution of, this is how the mission code changes to accept multiple people. Like if my friend kills a dude, I killed the dude. Mission success.
