I'm going to go with the ass talk, and the fact you have no idea how much JP will be earned solo or in a party. Excuse me for putting in bluntly.
It's simply going to be a repeat of ToAU merit parties with the few healers and brd getting insta invites and tons of DDs seeking only this time around you will have those DDs with their own little pocket party to come into your camp and kill your exp. Well not really a repeat once those brds and healers are done they won't be coming back on those jobs to get points for their DDs. And SE just said there will not be much difference between 6 man or solo. For group play to be better then solo with npcs the difference needs to be huge to make up for the time it'll take to get a support and a healer plus travel time(no waypoints other then skirmish or zone in from the closest field waypoint and revies to deal with) to the few decent camps that may or may not be open.

Maybe they will surprise me but I don't have high hopes for this bunch. They have great ideas but they are either listening to much to the players or not enough and bouncing back and forth. This whole JP thing reeks of the grind some of the more vocal people have been begging for so I don't expect a high rate of CP.
