Really, this is what eq and p99blue have always tended to be. Most groups are SHIT. Do the math; it's not wrong. Full groups just tend to be very inefficient.

A few of them are fantastic. Like 5% of them. The rest of the time soloing with an appropriate class or a good duo/trio is miles ahead of a full group.

I regularly solod my clerics on blue for a reason. And it wasn't because I'm antisocial.

My sham on green solos a -1 or even-level mob every 2 minutes or so. Do you think a full group is going to kill a high blue or even every 15 seconds nonstop for hours on end? Fuck no they won't. They won't kill a yellow every 20 seconds for hours on end either. Full groups are a fun experience with the right players in the right locations. But they're rarely the best exp option.
Sorry, meant to respond to this earlier. Are you saying this because you’re saying it won’t be possible if the spawn rates are normal or are you saying this because you don’t think a group without gear is capable of this?

If the latter, have you been grouping at all? Every group I’ve been in has been chain pulling constantly (even when the spawn rate was increased). This includes pulling reds and yellows as soon as they spawn. Heck, we were chain clearing orcs in CB a couple hours ago without a tank as a bunch of level 7s, including taking down the Orc Trainer using two Enchanter pets and barely anything else lol. When the spawn rate was increased, every group I’ve been in has been constantly chain pulling without stopping and without issue.
