Ecto drops and groups ...

With the recent update that ectos are not affected by the farming "nerf", does it mean that farming Ectos on my own is still more profitable than with a full party?

With the recent update, better thing drop if your in a party, therefore there ismore chance of an ecto dropping, but, if you are in party there is the chance of somebody else getting the ecto .

I thought is was that special things like the tomes, ectos, golds, greens, drop like they used to but money, whites and purples drop more when your in a group.

Ecto's will have the same chance of dropping as if you had a full party, except you are the only one they will drop for so you get every single one that drops instead of having a 1/8 chance of it being for you.

Common materials, whites and purples however will drop less often. You will only get 1/8 of the normal amount. So for every 8 white/purple drop you used to get, you will only get 1 now.
