Kaeko does it again:

I will say though that there are some flaws in this system that would lead me to believe that this table still could be correct, even at high numbers of members. If we look at our initial data collection set 1 (on power-level Giant Crabs), the amount of EXP actually goes up as you add players. For instance, having 2 players in party (1 is the power-leveler at 50, 1 is the 'leech') gives you 331 SP (0.50 modifier). Adding another 'leech' in similar rank ups the EXP to 441. Adding a 3rd 'leech' ups the EXP again to 446. Add a 4th 'leech' and it's 449. The system here is a bit flawed in that you will actually get more EXP per kill as you add the number of 'leechers' all the way until 5 total. Given that SE made the oversight here, it would not necessarily surprise me to see them make another one.
