EXP Parties as an option please!

[Maikal]

The open-world exp parties are exactly the thing RMT bots would, and did in V1.0. In fact someone found what I think was an exploit in V1.0 -snip for character limit-

I remember very well the bots in 1.0, but they weren't near the issue that they currently are in 2.0. My point is that bots are going to exploit any system they can, no matter what you release. You don't design around the fear that bots will exploit, you design around players and the kinds of content they want.
And I absolutely don't want the option for every mob I target to become a 24 player Zerg faceroll. That's completely opposite of what I'd like to see. If you're interested in my thoughts there, they're a few pages back.
