with another players will give you exp bonus. Last time i checked it still give exp bonus upon partying. It will not give bonus exp if the other members is afk tho, it is the new system.
Well, having players to farming mesos hours and farming exp hours is also punishing. why not making it so players can get to level 250 in 1 hour ;o So yeah, it is not punishing. It is just changing the system so players have to turn in quests in order to get exp or mesos.
Based on Daxi comment, hackers do the quests automatically because there is ID quests numbers. So are there any ways to prevent so that hackers cannot read that ID quests? Is it 1 ID for whole chain quests? or every quests in a chain quests will have different IDs? This is a good input for GM/ Developers. Your IDquests numbers is used for hacking trace. Maybe you should hide those.
It also cuts exp that you get...I have tested this extensively with various exp modifiers. While you get a "bonus" the base EXP is cut down...therefore you get less exp in general vs training solo. And hackers can currently get into the game files SO easily its not even funny. (less)
