The question is still how much smaller. If Regrets 4 pumped out Time Pieces like Oblivion 4 and 5 do, would you start seeing more LOLFPs there? Not really, because the solo EXP/hr rate at Regrets 4 for 100% ohkoing is 32m EXP/hr on 2x, as compared to the 45-48m EXP/hr some ArchMages can pull soloing Skeles on 2x. That's a massively stark difference, enough to keep LOLFPs at Skeles. Now the difference should be much smaller between Oblivion 5 and The Restoring Memory due to major EXP differences between mobs, but even still, if Skeles are faster for experience people may usually choose to stay there. While many enjoy the benefits of good drops or "making money while they train," to some, myself included, the whole goal while training is to get the most EXP as fast as possible. That's why leeching is so popular, after all. I mean, using your statement, all 2x players should rather choose to train at the Ant Tunnel mini dungeon, and 3x players at the Drumming Bunny mini dungeon, so they can hopefully get Chaos Scrolls.
And what do I see? The same amount of 3x players leeching Bigfoot and Anego. I don't know about you, but I have a life, and like many adhere to the mantra that time = money in many instances throughout life. If I'm on a 2x EXP card for 4 hours, I'm going to make sure that by the end of that card I haven't lost out on any EXP by training in a subpar map that would require me to buy another card and sit on my ass for another 4 hours to equal the EXP I could have gotten elsewhere.

Honestly, one of the main reasons I prefer to play alone is because I'm fairly selfish and it ticks me off when the person I'm with gets something I want/could use. Of course I don't take it out on them in any way, but it brings me down for sure, and I think that's all IllegallySane is saying about that, and it's a perfectly logical reason.
Training with partners should always be optional; you shouldn't be forced to share a map. Nexon needs to take that into account when making any decent training place by creating mini-dungeons, of course. At the same time, anyone who chooses to train alone should know better than to go to the over-populated areas (for example, I chose to train at Brextons from 90 - 102 on my Aran because Gallopera was consistently full and I don't want to deal with douches). But if an area you've used for a long time suddenly becomes ridiculously popular due to a change that is out of their control then yeah, they absolutely have the right to complain.
Well, at least you're bluntly honest about being selfish o.o.
You're never forced to share a map. The idea of the game is that if you want something bad enough, you'll do what you need to get it. If you want to train at Oblivion maps bad enough, you'll party I/L ArchMages to stay there. If you want the best EXP/hr in the game, you'll leech your way up to 4th job. Nexon is not saying you can't play the game alone if you want to, but they are saying you can't do/get all the best things by playing alone. If you're going to complain for Nexon to make you godly EXP/hr maps for solo training a non-Magician class because you don't like playing with other people, they'll say tough luck, this is an MMO. What, you want them to make it so you can solo HT now too because you want an HTP on your Aran but don't want to deal with douche squads?
