I love the assumption you guys have.... here is my abby pt experience. I join a party that has been around 3+ hours full capped lights, no one listening to anyone, and 3/4th of the party afk. That is a typical abyssea party. At least from my experience. I in no way stated my parties sucked. That was you guys. All i said was i saw no difference.
In any case what I stated is fact, no matter when you join an abyssea party or a gov burn party. it still takes time to build up to reach the max cap of exp. Where as if you say take 6 ppl go to a camp spam kill IT you can get decent exp. W/o waiting for the build up. This is due to the simple fact that exp on mobs got raised 100% across the board.
EP- 90-120 exp a kill.
DC- 140+ exp a kill
EM- 200+ exp a kill
T- 220+ exp a kill
VT 300+
IT 420+
this is base exp no ring no chain. I was duoing with my friend today in valkurm dunes at lvl 16. just on dc-t we got from 202exp-540(chained) per mob. and in the first min got total of 956 exp. (equal 1 page for 500 in gusgen)
