Nope. Not in the slightest. I'm glad old-style FFXI 'dooms parties' are gone forever. Okay the social aspect was fun, but gameplay wise exp parties were an absolute drag, especially if there was competition with other parties for mobs.

And I'll never forget wasting an entire night (as in, spent over 9 hours waiting) in FFXI as a level 30ish WHM in Rabao waiting for a pt invite that never came circa 2005. That one incident is partially why I hate exp party grinding now, and am glad Yoshi-P gave it the boot in ARR.
