For a group of 2 to get more than a solo person you need to be able to kill something like 1.5x the amount of mobs as you would solo.

There is a 50% exp bonus across the board

What? How is it a bonus if you aren't getting more exp? I was told there's additional bonus for each person in group. This was supported by the fact I was in a group yesterday and got like 3 blues for a white mob where I was getting substantially less than that soloing the same mob.

I'm talking about red here.

Edit: From the is your body ready thread:

Project 1999 Red now has a 50% experience bonus from 1-60. In addition to this, for each group member, a 40% experience modifier will be added to all XP the group obtains. This means that with a full 6 member group, you will be provided a 290% bonus to all experience gained, 1-60.

This will provide a faster leveling experience than on blue, but still allow people to take the time to learn their character, meet new friends, and encounter new enemies on their way to level 60. Have your friends roll on red with you, and enjoy the journey!

So, if someone was in my group, even if AFK, I'd be getting nearly double xp (compared to blue) by having a single person in group.
