Something from MS2 that would really benefit MS1.

    For it to be worthwhile you'd first have to break players of the "solo everything" mindset they've been in for several years now.

    Would also require, on nexon's end of things(the devs, not the publishers; yes there's a difference), reworking the party system so that it doesn't cut exp per kill by almost half just for having a second person in the party and in the same map.

    What gets me is that they know what to do about it and aren't doing it for some reason. I can't assume what to know what trials they have to overcome to make it work, but the last time PQ's were a thing was when there was a special event to get stack-able slime chairs 2 years back. Even something like that brings a lot of value back to PQ's, even if they're not willing to overhaul the system itself, but it does not seem to be a high priority for them either way.

    There needs to be an incentive to make people play in groups first and foremost. The most I've seen is people getting carried through high end bosses, and thats about it. You get a lot more for doing stuff solo than you do in groups, so theres indeed a need to change how things work, specially on this side of the world where there is very little people to play with anyway.
