Could be that they are stronger.... It would only make sense. If they are weaker, yeah, I agree, but I doubt it.

Those buffs are most likely there to keep the party sizes in future content under control:

-It'll be harder to do 4-7man content with less than 4, because it'll be designed around having 4-7 people with the 5% buff.
-It'll be harder to do 8man content with less than 8 people, because it'll be designed around having 8 people with the 10% buff.

I'm sorry that your already soloable/duoable Notorious Monsters that drop junk are going to remain easy to kill. Says nothing about the future direction of the game, however. Especially when we're undergoing battle, party and job changes, and there isn't any content that has been made with these new systems in mind yet.

Ya you can thank 70+% of all casual players on here. Thanks to most casual players who want a easy game that what SE is doing i can care less as long as they add something hard for hardcore players if not then this going to be a pretty easy game.

lol @ THM not being nerfed.

This is SE. They aren't going to make something harder after reducing a group size. Give me a break. They didn't say anything about balancing they said they adjusted the strength.
