yes, right now it is viable when you are the only group in the area grinding those mobs for hours. what happens when all of a sudden you have 5 parties in the same area trying to grind the same mobs with the horrible respawn rates they have? they will no longer be a viable way to level. remember when people go to grind they do so for hours at a time.

if i go out there and there's a group already in the area i am just going to try to out claim them and make them leave. the next group will do the same. eventually you will have 5+ groups trying to claim the same set of long spawn mobs. your grinding you do now is going to drastically drop in sp per hour.

the respawn rates and areas to party for groups should have been done before they took away the way groups level now. i can understand the giving solo's more to do, but to do it at the expense of the parties is beyond moronic. if they didn't have anything ready to go in and supplement the parties it's another half baked idea.
