Auto-share pt powerleveling was there way before Europe... Just on a lesser scale and in short streches, for instance monster scroll party pwrleveling back at X-mas.
And no, euro parties did lose their purpose. The purpose of euro parties is group fighting, not grinding. Euros are stronger in parties, and they will always be. But that does not mean they should ignore auto share party opportunities and hand grind all the way to 80 or even lvl 140 in the future.
JoyMax gave us a reasonable and legit alternative way to level up, so lets enjoy it for a moment ^^
Personally, im going to look for high lvl autoshare parties myself, as soon as i finish those Cerberus and Ivy quests
You are making it sound like powerleveling (by higher lvl people) is something JoyMax is trying to prevent.
The thing is, SRO xp rates are already crazy, and if they plan adding 90,100 and more levels, then xp autoshare parties with high lvl people will be the only reasonable way to go. Both for botters and non-botters, chinese and euros. I think JoyMax understands it, and encourages it. What's the point of the guardian system otherwise?
Im not talking here about 24/7 powerleveling parties. But autoshare parties is a major improvement over the previous "bot or not-to-bot?" dilema. Im personally very happy with it.
