What's the point of the 4/8 person party buffs?

I'm more concerned about when we will get back the "/search all" command.

Either they give that buff to encourage the people to find an extra person or they make that encounter difficult enough that you need that extra person... ITS THE SAME THING.

I'm not encouraging easy content that should be easily defeat by less than 8 people, the content itself can be however difficult it wants to be.

Why is there a need to hinder the performance of a 7 people group which might be as strong as an 8 people, and should by right be able to defeat the monster,

but just because their numbers of people in group is different, they become less strong and have to make up for that special buff.

People complain " o No you MUST be X job to be able to get a party".
But they dont complain " o we MUST be 8 people to get this started , not 5-7, dont matter what class"
lazy devs R lazy.

Its a 5% difference. You know what that means for my pug? A whole 80 HP, holy crap it's not that much. If you lose because of a 5% reduction in HP you probably weren't going to win anyway. Equip vit gear if it's that much of a problem.

i have 2.5k HP on my glad unbuffed.......
Looking forward to 2.750 hp =P.

They said they're adjusting the old NM's, they're probably buffing them to make up for this 10% buff @_@??

[Reika]

Most likely they adjusted the current NM's to have more evasion and deal slightly more damage. Those with less than 4 man parties probably wont hit them nearly as often, and will die faster.

At least I HOPE that is what they did.

With that much health you're not going to miss that 5% anyway.

no but it DOES makes thins easier.Especially the acurr btw.

[Kilta_Firelotus]

ok npt saying i know much

but i think the buffs are not only a reason why ppl should group , but to allow people to grind on mobs that rated red or very tought. Since a common "complaint" was theses mobs one shot people which is why a reason why no one party grinds....
and......
