    Say SQEX implements OP's idea
    If I am in a party with my girlfriend to farm memories, and we farm 40 FATEs, that's 40 "dice rolls."

    Say they don't
    If I am in a party with my girlfriend to farm memories, and we farm 40 FATEs, that's 40 "dice rolls" for each of us.

    There is no change.
    Either way each player gets 40 dice rolls.
    The law of large numbers will work the same wether I'm in a group or not. If we're apart it's not like we observe 80 rolls because no ones rolls are affected by anyone else's.
