A troll that says a troll is a troll of a troll, thats just trollable funny!

Troll mode of.

The bonus was made so people would make big parties, it is the reason the game isnt completely solo. Its a bonus, not something you lose because you play solo. Ive gotten into many parties and gotten many ingame friends thanks to it. Dont remove it.

Nice selective editing there. Who cares about context, right?

Seriously, that was kinda bad, what you quoted wasn't even half of the sentence -and- you punctuated it differently than he did

Does it matter it's still in the exact same context he said, he doesn't care what other people think. I could add the rest of the sentence and the point remains.

He doesn't care what other people think if it doesn't fit into his view on things he hasn't really been covert about that fact. He flat out doesn't "Understand" why some people could find something fun nor does he seem to care to even listen to someone who does enjoy what he finds a stupid limitation to the game.

I could tear his argument appart that states "It's only utility you don't HAVE to use it guys~!" mentality but there is no point to it as he wouldn't even consider what I say. I'm just telling him that it's great that he has his own ideals and he thinks everyone else is wrong unless it makes him have a life changing epiphany.

Nothing about my shortening (and adding a period) of his statement is out of context. he doesn't care what anyone thinks.

*edit*

To be fair if he tells me that he does actually care what other people think I will remove my prior post and edit this one.

But as far as I can tell he doesn't care wether I or anyone else think something he doesn't find fun is fun.

It's akin to saying something like... "I can't understand why people like blue, red is a superior colour."

I may misunderstand his intent but he doesn't seem willing to debate, let alone try to understand one another. It's not only him alot of people on these forums (and everywhere) are like this, on both sides of the fence no less.

Are you done with your soapbox speech?

You can be filled with all the self-righteous indignation you want, I still have yet to hear a single objectively positive thing that would come from removing this bonus from the game.

And no, slapping noobs in the face with your e-peen...excuse me "sense of accomplishment" for nothing else but hitting the *current* level cap is not a reason.

Wrong you just haven't heard a single thing that you want to hear about it.

I don't goad my accomplishments over others, I just enjoy their being a challenge to them.

[Morticous]

tear down the fence!

In theory though, shouldn't the battles be balanced around NOT having the full party bonus?

If the battles are balanced around it, then it's not a bonus, it's just...average. A bonus in this case would imply that you gain something from having a full party.

Is the "bonus" for having a full party the +10% edge the mob was supposed to have over you? It just seems kinda pointless/redundant if the encounters were designed with the bonus in mind.
