I have been seeing a LOT of teams above level 9 with just two probes, two drones, two scvs, or sometimes one zealot added in.  The original reason I figured they were doing it was to attract attackers, and when they'd lose, they would just get the credits for losing, but now I'm seeing more and more at higher levels.  Are people getting teams up to like level 10+ and then taking their units out, substituting scvs, probes, and drones for the units, and selling the team? I mean, if you can attack teams that have been released, then perhaps you can attack teams that have been sold, explaining why the team keeps leveling.. or maybe I'm completely off.  What is the reason?

Ah.  I see.  So the units sell for more than selling the whole team?


Edit: Actually, I might be able to find out for myself.  I'm about to hit level 10 on a team.  I'll just compare how much I can get for the team vs once I take all the units off and add up their values.

Tested for you:
It seems team price is based on team xp, unit price based on unit xp.  Selling a team containing sell-able units just adds the team and unit prices.  Not 100% sure, but fairly certain.
Increasing synergy, recovery, or unit stats didn't raise the price.  Removing or adding units, decrease the team xp, thus decreasing the price.

You can easily bash those teams with units barely upgraded, even at low levels.  Which mean you get more xp/credits (or you can, if those workers teams aren't upgraded, beat them even with weak teams of yours, relying on exercise to get xp and then using those workers teams when able to level up), so it's quite attractive...and so more and more people will tend to attack those teams, rewarding you with credits without using your precious available battles.

That's a guess, I don't have such teams, but it seems viable when you see someone with a -70 streak team.  Guess he didn't even bother to use that team's battles ?

Actually, that's what I do when I find them.  I have a couple level 11 punching bags I've found, and I just get my lowest teams to attack them winning ~8-11 credits and a lot of exp each time.  However, I often go through the team's history and I'll see that the team was sold or released earlier in its history. So, they aren't keeping the team on the roster...

Hah, that you did. I'm still debating actually abusing strife. It seems so easy.

well if you go hardcore and proxy like 10 diff accounts you'll be able to match me sweetie,

IMO - do your best.  In a few weeks I replace units on 6[nk] and begin the rapefest.
