SP pre November patch

[Warp]

Players can still get really good SP from party grinding, but because the monsters and combat are so boring and uninspired that they don't even bother looking for other like-minded people.

Well the difference now is that you are directed to have smaller parties, max sp gain being with a party of 8. When you have a small group of people, combat isn't so boring actually.

i know they say 8, but i have noticed that 6 is actually your highest sp per kill. when you go to 8 the sp per kill drops drastically. i know the extra 2 people do make kills faster, but there's not many places in which you have enough mobs with fast enough spawn time to make sp an hr worthwhile for a party of 8. personally i enjoy the larger 15 man parties because i am in a big ls and it's easy to get 15 and hate telling people they can't join because it'll hurt our sp. there is just not enough mobs in game that will benefit a bigger party so i do understand them wishing to drop the max party size.

I hate 15 man parties. There is just no fun to them outside of NM.

no that's what i was saying. i wish there was more mob types that supported the bigger parties. to me the biggest issue is the higher mobs that could support a big party to defeat them have a massive attack that will 1 shot a whole group of r50 people. there is no middle ground where they have mobs that a group really has to team up against to defeat besides the nm's. that's why i said i understood why they dropped the sp to being most beneficial for an 8 man party, but would love to see some mobs besides nm's that you need teamwork and a bigger group to attack and have a tough and engaging battle.
