Group XP Bonus

[Kelec]

I've been working on the the entertainer professions as of late and had a general question for the population. I've found reading through archived SWG forums and the EMU forums that ent groups should provide a bonus to XP for each additional entertainer in the group. On the EMU forums it is suggested that a full group would double XP rates.

In practice here currently I am getting the same XP for solo play vs group play, is this a bug or working as intended?
Thanks for any input.

*Note I may be completely off base, never played Ent live. Just trying to maximize my time*

two things:

1. I found if you have a medic alt /tenddamage on the entertainer you are grinding up while the healer is watching anther master dancer/musician that your entertainer is grouped with, the entertainer you are grinding receives like 100 or more points a tick in healing xp.

2. Musician xp doesn't scale up when you are grouped with other entertainers, currently just higher song and higher instrument works.
It used to on Live and because of this Musician actually takes weeks to grind up. Dancer xp seems to me correct but still takes awhile.
Crafting instruments helps but its still slow.

I was able to dig up this bug report on the EMU forums.

It seems that the group XP bonus for ents has not been implemented on the EMU. Since the report is dated from 1-28-14, over a year and a half , I guess we shouldn't expect a change anytime soon.

I see this is a year old, has their been any change on this? Maybe just an increased XP rate to compensate like dancers get? Should I submit a bug ticket?

I'm here to tell ya - this has not changed. I am working my way through to Master Musician right now and I swear, a bunch of angels are gonna come down and sing Hallelujah the very second I'm done with this grind.
