Question About Party Loot Drop Changes in POE2

Today I watched the update, and regarding party loot drops, I noticed that the Chinese server update announcement for Path of Exile 2 clearly stated there would be a nerf. However, the international server announcement didn’t mention this issue at all.

I’d like to know whether this change is only for the Chinese server, or if it also applies to the international version and simply wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes?

Chinese：
国服组队调整
国服将下调多人组队情况下，整体掉落数量；其他细节将会在远古回响版本上线前揭晓。

I’ve never seen such absurd party bonuses in any other game. Something like +10% XP like in Diablo 4 would’ve been plenty. Group play already makes the game way too easy. The devs are out of their minds.

I'm a player from a Chinese server. Recently, I've also participated in many discussions about the issue of dropping loot when teaming up.
But most of the time, our opinions have been ignored, and I'm gradually planning to give up playing the international server. However, I will still treat it as a test server.

For you, team-up loot rewards are not as good as those for solo players at the top. Under normal circumstances, this is correct.
However, most of the time, in team games, only one thug and his halo master or high-rarity drop master friend will appear, along with the other four new players or robots, to enjoy all the loot alone.
They won't share with other players. If other players obtain valuable loot, they will be kicked out of the team. They make a living by selling loot and exchanging it for real currency with other players.

You know, Chinese people usually work for more than 12 hours. In China, there are professional trading platforms, which are very convenient and you don't have to worry about being defrauded.

Of course, the situation I mentioned is not limited to the Chinese server.
Now I think all these team players will be very happy to play on the international server.

Wish you all a great time in Season 0.5.0, exiles
Have fun！
