Does it make sense to have mobs die so quickly?

[Rentahamster]

well if you wanna feel like you are earning it fight higher level mobs

but a rank 40 mob, is a rank 40 mob regardless, it gives 300 sp to a rank 30 player(just a made up number but lets go with it as an example)
when 2 people fight it, it gives 150 sp to each of them, 250 with the bonus

the mob is now easier, and instead of 300 sp, you get 250 for it...thats fair
every person you add to the group makes it easier, and the sp goes down

by the time you have 8 people you are getting 100 sp each, total, counting the bonus
that solo kill was 300 sp

the reduction in sp now reflects how much easier the mob is to kill with 8 people as opposed to 1

however if you go and fight something thats say....rank 60 with you 8 people, youll have more of a challenge and i think thats what people need to consider

mobs will never scale to the group fighting them, the group needs to scale to the mobs they want to fight instead

That's not entirely how it works.
