Unless you're an instance abolitionist, you can xp party inside dungeons. Yoshida also said he was going to make leveling content for different party sizes (specifically said that you won't be able to level up through just 1 aspect).

Sorry but they are getting rid of exp parties.

"Completing the quests, getting rewards, huge experience points, or completing a dungeon and getting experience points, that's going to be the key thing to level up your character, not like at the moment where you have to do monster camping or farming, that's not going to work in 2.0."

It's probably true. I read that killing quest mobs wouldnt give much exp while on the quest, and killing non exp mobs wouldnt give good exp either, and most exp comes from quest rewards. Hence, quest is most efficient and most practical way to level. I think they purposely designed it so only quest gives good exp. From what theyve said in translations anyway.

Ok, now put a disclaimer in that post also. They are not removing the ability to make an exp party. It has even been said that it will be an option in the group/content finder.

Unless we get 0xp for killing a monster, I still think people will be able to lvl with that.
Quests will just be way way faster
