More EXP when in Party?

[GM-Ayu]

but it seems many features/restrictions benefit parties and soloing is left out to dry.

That's because as it stands now, partying is already dry and soloing gives far superior benefits. TU Priests and the bow classes at thor are prime examples, be it for heRO or eA discussions, how these guys will rather prefer soloing. No parties can generate 200k exp per monster for bow classes at Kasa even if it takes 15 minutes to kill one Kasa. (well until Kasa in next svn learns fullscreen fire breath )

Partying has heavy drawbacks and is difficult. You already divide the exp by the number of players in the group. To be better than soloing in terms of exp, you need to kill faster than soloing to make up for the dividing factor. This is done either by mobbing, faster healing (so less items/sitting are required), or simply increase DPS against a tough monster that otherwise cannot be defeated alone.

I don't have much problems partying either across guilds. I have more problems finding people willing to party that won't suicide >_>; If you want to mob half the map, do it only if you got the ability to handle it and not wipe out the entire party because you have no idea how to direct the mob around and instead let the mob run through the wizard and bard? *sigh*
