Light/full Party buff

[Rentahamster]

and that's because we need some limits.
The party buff is ok, but what we really need now is this :
1)a level range, so people don't invite rank 1 people just to add a number
2)a zone limit: right now people receive buff even if are in different zones, so a range limit should be in place.

Wouldn't just getting rid of the buffs be easier instead of trying to make a bunch of rules?

i don't think people would invite people just to reach buffs.

They do.

not with a proper encounter with a proper difficulty.

In a situation where you are inviting someone for the right reason (I need more people to handle difficult content), why even bother to have the party buff at all, then? What does it add or enhance? Would the content be less fulfilling or balanced without it? No. it's all the same, and the buff is meaningless.
