can someone explain exactly what:
Grouping
* Added a new way to calculate group experience point (XP) bonuses. Experience Points (XP) are now divided by the total number of people in your group with an additional bonus for being grouped with other players. We will be testing out the group experience and currently group XP is set lower then we expect it to be set at.
means?
a simple 'if you get 100 pts now in a 8 man group you will get 20 pts' or something like that would really help.
does the last line mean we are getting less xp on live than we are supposed to be, or what?

It's more than likely a solo xp nerf, EQ did it a couple of years back. Ho hum.

from the in testing forum:
"I just tried it out with a friend as level 1 noobs, by yourself you get 200 xp, grouped we got 106 xp, both were the same level and same exact creature, can you say NERF on xp??"
xp cut almost in half! hooray, i wanted it to take forever to finish my template. better hit the trails now while you can.

In EQ it was used to force grouping, the bonus for a full group far out weighed the exp that you could get solo (IIRC a 6 person group had the normal exp plus the xp bonus as if there were 7 people in the group). I've never understood why you get all the exp from a mob when you're grouped in SWG anyway.x8 the DPS you would expect to get 1/8 of the exp. But I supose I think thatbeing as that's where I've come from. Don't panic though, they're next move will be to multiply the xp each mob gives then nerf solo

They need to make up for all the damage done by mindlessly giving out double xp. It was way to easy for people to master professions. Mastering an Elite profession should take more than 5 days.

why?
most of the content in the game is not accessable till your template is complete. to complete it, you do the same thing, run missions killing some monster, go train, repeat. why should that take X number of weeks?
regardless of that, the patch notes regarding XP changes should be explained by one of the soe customer interface people.

5 days!!!
before i respeced one of my chars i mastered 2 profs in no more than 5 HOURS! and that was in single exp.
if you were that way inlined, had enough spand had trainers set up in the right location, all the resources and help from one other char it would be very possible to master 4 profs in around 7 or 8 hours no problem.

read the post by Tiggs again... people here just start yelling and screaming when they see a prototype... its says the exp payouts are lower than they intend them to be atm on TC... stop complaining and read next time instead of crying nerf, or just leave them game
