Until group exp is working properly, i will not group up. I refuse to. The exp is so bad its not even funny. I was in SolA last night with a group and we were chain pulling. We didn't even have a hybrid in our group. I solo way faster and get way better exp that I ever had in a group (Magician).

Im not sure if the devs are aware of group exp seems bugged...as it is right now even a warrior levels faster solo.

Players have ALWAYS received more exp from soloing. What is the difference here?

I soloed with my magician to lvl 54.

I'm not saying that it's encouraged, but neither is grouping. That is up to you.

^ This. Getting 1 blue per kill solo at level 8, it should come as no surprise that in a group, you get less xp per kill. As a group, you should be killing more mobs in that span of time. If you got >= 1 blue per kill grouped, THAT is what would be out of whack.

^ This. True.

Sure we get less exp per kill but should leveling really be so much slower in grps than solo? ( i mean if you are not a mage or a necro )

On my druid exp in decent dungeons group was WAY faster than kiting red mobs solo.

Back on live exp group was way faster on my pala in than soloing. As it is right now i believe even as a paladin grouping is not worth it.

Let's do some math. 1 player kills one mob = one blue bub of xp

6 players killing six mobs = less than one blue bub of xp.

This must be wrong. There is supposed to be a grouping BONUS not a grouping PENALTY.

! I hope you're joking

You're talking about splitting 1 npc's exp among 6 people. Even with a bonus it will be less than what you get soloing that same npc.

Yes I completely understand this but soloing, even on my necro at 21, I cannot chain pull mobs like a good group can. Even in the 40's a necro still has to med. Shouldn't chain pulling be = or just as good as solo xp?

6 players killing 6 mobs.

let's say a mob is worth 1000 xp.

one person killing one mob gets 1000xp.

six persons killing six mobs should produce 6000xp (which equates to 1000xp per player). Even more considering there was a grouping bonus in classic. But on this server it looks to produce only 4800 xp (800xp per player).
