I found out there is 0 (ZERO) XP bonus in party! SOLO vs PARTY

**I personally don't think they should change anything, they should explain their thinking / reasoning, educate people so they understand and haters have no reason to hate! ;]**

------------

I found out, there iz **0 (ZERO)** XP bonus in party! WIKI is WRONG (not surprisingly)

--------------

You get **exactly same xp for killing mobs SOLO or in PARTY**, whilest the mob's life scales significantly. It makes partying so much less beneficial now, especially whilst leveling your way up to endgame.

You can see my **proof** - my calculators and pros and cons of SOLO vs PARTY here:

See my google docs **XP calculator** (xp efficiency, xp party split, xp penalties):

I was very precise about this test, we were stood next to each other, I also logged in and out, created new instances, etc... to make sure party doesn't influence solo in any way and the other way around.

**PATCH NOTES CONFIRMATION:** "Players now receive the same amount of experience from nearby monster kills regardless of how many members are in their party. Because experience is awarded to nearby party members equally and is not divided up between them any more, monsters are no longer scaled up in experience if you're playing in a party."

ps. shame I have been reading ALL patch notes for only the last few months, got some catching up to do :(

Its not supposted to get more xp while playing in a party. Solo is just harder if you reach a certain point of the game and in long terms its boring.

Are you sure this is not a bug? Should I report it in the bugs section in the forum?

Sometimes you dont need math to find if something is working or not.I am 82 level and when i solo lvl 69 maps i get 1.5% exp ,but when i group up at same level maps i get 4-4.5% exp and way faster.And now you will be like but if the exp is better while grouping how come you have solod maps .Because i have found for me at least solo i get much more better drops currency wise and rares/uniques .So after a lot of thought i decided i would only group with mf parties for the most efficient exp and loot.
Edit : For those saying you dont get exp for partying ,From wiki :

Finally, being in an area with a party member grants you a 30% experience bonus.

I am afraid wiki is wrong on this, as I proven above (tested in cruel Ledge)

buff party pls

If any of your party members are 10(?) levels higher than you, you will not get a bonus.

party xp split is entirely separate subject, please use my calculator to calculate the xp share amongst party members

I am afraid you are wrong at this, as i proven at lvl 69 maps . You are really gonna make a discussion like that .... Did you saw what i have written ? Solo 1.5% exp partying 4.5% exp.It works as intended.Give me a screenshot of your exp bar before doing a ledge SOLO and after you finished .Do that again with a full party and if the % exp gain is the same soloing and partying then you are right, there is something wrong with the exp gain.
