I mean it's free exp for doing nothing but tolerating 3 extra life bars on on your HUD... and yet no one ever seems to join up or invite... whats up with that?

Spam.

they r noob and dont know about it.

when i first played the game, i thought parties were there for ppl to leech my xp...
at the time i didnt know about xp dist and xp share.
well i didnt know i could scroll down my list of skills either...

I use exp. distribution partys all the time, never grind without one. But usually I ask my guild / union mates for a grind party. If no one's on to party up with I search for distribute. parties that have 3/4 till I find one who accepts.

arent you supposed to be working? lawl.

I dont accept randoms because bots auto invite people now. and i think they have enough help leveling, they dont need me there boosting their exp a little.

+1

Because when you randomly invite ppl in town, you look like a bot.

Hmmm.... i placed my party with the title "exp distribute join for free exp dammit!!" and it seemed to fish out a few people right away...

Oh yeah and i kinda realized bots now accept party requests... one of them i think was in my party because she accepted in a second and was lvl 20 hunting regular tigers...

Who cares if you accept a pt from a bot or if you are applying in town and look like a bot? The bot parties are the best to join... The bots are on all day and you almost never have to have the pt refreshed.

And this "helping a bot" by joining his pt is bullshit. Common guys. Bots are here to stay. Learn to live with them. You are only doing yourself a disservice by trying to make their lives as difficult as possible, bitching about them all day, and wasting your time posting about them. The bot has all the time in the world; you don't. If you want to catch up to them go grind. I go grind besides botters all the time. I've come to accept the fact that they are there 24/7 and will easily outlevel me. But as long as they are more competent than real players by keeping pts filled, drop me str tablets, and don't mind when I ks their giants I'm happy they bot.

EDIT:
I for one, wouldn't care if SRO became one big botting community [as if it isn't already]. JM should just give up the war against the bots and start servicing their legit players with fun events. I'm here to enjoy the pvp and wars and aslong as the botters actually pvp themselves, I'm having fun. Give us events and stop dissapointing us with the bot war you're losing...

+1 I have learned to make botters my "friends" by getting "free" stuff

lol
i remenber the old days
u have to stay in the city scream for party cuz there was no party match
so u have to invite random ppl alot
and if u are in the middle of the grind spot and they leave was gRRRRr

now with party match why the hell u invite random ppl if u are not a bot

I always decline party offers unless the inviting person talks to me first. Bots invite me the instant I teleport into town
But I do get pissed when you are using a party matching system for EXP distribution parties and you get declined. Why? Are they looking for "higher levels"? As far as I know, there's no difference between a party of four level 1s and a party of four level 80s o_O

I don't get in exp share parties because people invite me in party with other 3 to 4 people and he just sits down and gets the exp... so i rarely get in a party, except it's a guild/union party.

One reason I can think of to decline someone trying to join your exp distribution party: If you put up a an exp distro party in the match system for a guildmate, or friend, to join, you don't want some random person joining. I decline people all the time in my grind parties if I'm waiting for a guildie to join. I'll even ban someone from my party in favor of a friend or guildmate that wants to join.

As far as I know, when you're in an exp distribution party, you have to actually be out grinding to get experience. You can't just join a party and sit in town gaining experience. Each mob you kill gives you 10% more exp than it would without a party. If you just sit in town, all you're doing is allowing other party members to gain 10% extra exp for each mob THEY kill.

Well yeah, that's the thing. What i meant was free exp for doing nothing out of the ordinary. You just grind, sell, whatever. But when you DO grind, you get more exp just for having 3 more names/lifebars on your screen...


And the party match system works perfectly. Hahah i have 3 lvl 50-somethings in my group that havent left my party since i started it and im only lvl 16

Whenever I need a pt i just go stand in Hotan.

Im not accepting share exp. because it freezes the Gold Ticket.

El Kabong, do you play Joint Operations?

I have party accept and exchange on auto-denial (paranoia, can't get enough of it). Just set up a party using the party match system and you'll fill up in a few minutes.

I like guild/union parties and I still haven't heard a clear answer on whether or not accepting a party invite can lead to a hack lol

I dont get how this topic is necessary, some people dont want it, most people do want to get extra exp

Yeah those parties are great for getting extra exp when you're out grinding. I'm always in an exp distro party when I grind. If a guildie wants in my party, I will ban someone that's already in there (or someone trying to get in). I assume others do the same, which is why when you try to join a 3/4 exp distro party, you are sometimes denied. Maybe the owner is waiting for a friend/guildie.

I always look out for 3/4 distrib parties and join them o_o

playing without a party is pretty much of a loss.

Don't you lose EXP and it's given to the other players?

just stand in hotan you will automatically be invited

i dont accept pt invitation. only from union pt or guild.

party/exchange turned of in game option
don't want noob newbies to invite all the time
I chose the party in the party match system
or build my own, but preferring union party
