Bonus Party Exp Patch (41level+ Gap)

It was never a glitch, it works fine in KMS & EMS, idk about MSEA and other versions.

The main reason why GMS got adjusted, is simply because of HoH. HoH is too easy to grind at, theres only 2 platforms that very close & some jobs can even hit both at the same time. While this also being 50% bonus exp per member, it gives a stupid amount when you stack 5 leechers.
However, other versions only have Armory 2 (up until You & I patch), which only gives 20% bonus exp per member. Obviously EMS can pull this off with our future perion being party play aswell (bugged atm tho) so we can end up getting 100% bonus exp from 135k exp mobs. But you also have to remember thats too hard to pull off and you need 231 before you can start using it.

So yes this was direct nerf to the party exp only because of HoH.

I agree. People calling it a glitch for whatever reason, but it seemed more of an unintended side effect, if anything. I do agree HoH is too easy to grind at, though. It's really annoying that people just leech there all day and get high leveled from doing absolutely nothing.
