Don’t party up on kill quests. If you need to kill 15 raptors for a quest, and you solo them, you’ll get XP for killing all 15 raptors, plus the quest reward XP.

If you party with one other person, you’ll kill the raptors faster, but you’ll only get approximately half the XP.

The only time you should party up is on a slow spawning unique mob where other people are waiting to kill it (The Kolkar leaders in the Barrens, for example.)

Of course, if you have friends that you play with, don’t forsake them… Just don’t fall into the trap of letting other people leech off your efforts.

On the flip side, DO party up on farming quests (for example, collect 10 linen bandannas from the guys in Goldshire) - you’ll end up having to kill twice as many mobs in order for two people to get all of the needed items, which will cancel out the XP loss from grouping.
