the exp bonus is the part I don't understand. On Sirken's stream a while back it was mentined that the exp Bonus Red used to have was removed primarily because abusive players who were banned could just roll a new account and get back to max level in about 3 weeks (assuming friends still in game helped).
Yet now the exp bonus is back, in the form of needing to be grouped. Which... a banned person would more than likely use with friends on the server willing to help them out.
I get that the grouping part is supposed to hinder the banned person from leveling up rapidly, like the old bonus granted. Yet the first level 60 Froglok Cleric on old retail was leveled up in less than a week *grouped*, using a chain of people rotating the account. Bard PL, Druid PL, or Mem Blur PL wasn't used for that experiment. It solely used grouping and ZEM underused zones like Kurns-Mistmoore-Sol A, etc.
So I'm failing to understand exactly what was fixed with the move that was made.
