Does it make sense to have mobs die so quickly?

That's not entirely how it works.

so your saying, when i duo a mob im getting more sp then solo?
that is how it works

the more people who join a group the lower the sp gets, period
i may not have posted exact scaling numbers, but its still pretty much a fact

granted when it comes to issues like power leveling, the sp differences can go up instead of down(say if you go from a rank 1 and a 50 together, to 2 1s and a 50, the 1s will in fact get more sp per kill at that point)
but overall the sp does go down
