To be honest I had more fun at launch in Eft parties and stuff than I have had since they "fixed" it. You used to be able to get a big party no problem and go out and grind Efts, random SP was annoying but it kinda worked out for me some mobs would be 500 SP, some 0 SP but most around 250ish. I know they system wasn't great for certain classes and it is much better to be fixed as it is now but somewhere in between they killed partying ; ;
