The issue is that solo xp is better than group xp by a far and away margin. We've had several threads about it in the past but because verant hid actual xp numbers and calculations its hard to find real documentation to prove that group xp should be better than solo xp so nothing get changed.
I think its outright bullshit myself. People should be given incentives FOR grouping, not against it. If I wanted to play EQ solo, I'd play EZ server.

I get lotsa groups ... sometimes its a bad experience ... but most of the time its great ... sometimes it takes a while to find a group ... but pretty much all my xp since level 5 has been in groups... my friends list is getting pretty decent sized too so that helps... plus i dont really care what classes i group with the xp penalties dont bother me really ... raiding isnt my favorite part of the game and the journey is alot more fun than the destination imho... plus even if i could xp faster solo ... its alot more entertaining in a group ... usually...

Did you know that just a few weeks ago Ogre Warriors were like the fastest race/class combo in the game? Should it have been left like that since others got that advantage? There's tons of examples like that. If they never get fixed the server will never really be classic. | |||

I don't know if it's classic or not. The only two classes I ever played were Paladin and Bard, both leveled extremely slowly back then and they seem the same here. Other than that, I've no clue.
It seems like my mage just kills faster than anyone else and with less downtime. If I'm fighting lower range dark blues one at a time I can kill 4 mobs every 6 minutes sustained indefinitely and this is at level 45. A full group would have to kill a mob every 15 seconds to keep up with that, which is pretty much impossible. | ||

exp sucks.....but it's not bout the grind to 50.....
It's about finding a class you really enjoy playing to 50 then having fun. Ask a Paladin or Shadowknight....they didn't pick that class cuz the exp was great lol. | ||

The game 'should' be about picking the class you enjoy and then leveling to 50.
But the current trend is picking the fastest solo class, speeding to 50, farming money, then Twink/PL your chosen class to 50. That's just fundamentally wrong. | ||

Sad part is i got my druid to 17, and couldn't find a single group even as a backup healer ... an i played him 2 weeks. Yet I made my mage less than a week ago and hes 35 ... just solo'd it all and no need for a group. Yes I know the community is not THAT vast yet but still I have tried to find groups and put them together myself but to no avail so I stopped him for the time being to make a mage to earn gear for my other toons I do wish to level.
So I agree with Yaeger on this and yes it is wrong but that apparently is the way to go on this server so far. | ||
