Punishing Groups

[Fletcher008]

I will begin this by stating that this is merely an opinion that others may share and I'm just looking for an answer, please don't come after me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I understand that this server is meant to be the 1999 version of Everquest with some very slight changes. But why is it that experience penalties haven't been changed? All characters that I've made that can solo, do. The rewards for grouping are extremely minimal and rewarding people who choose to be social doesn't make sense to me. I get that the experience is supposed to be divided as groups will kill more mobs faster, but the experience feels way too diminished.
