XP is typically amazing in a Full Group; lots of bonuses (social/instance/etc) and ability to take on huge pulls of 100% XP mobs while knocking out PvE Tasks pretty easily.
XP is pretty good Solo; Phoenix Egg drops and getting to keep all XP item drops along with Yellow Con minimum PvE Tasks make it pretty decent.
But there's seems to be a pretty big discrepancy when grouping based on how many people are in the group with 2 being pretty rough and improving as you add each additional player, especially if there's a decent player level disparity in particular to maintain PvE Task Credit opportunities. Maybe its just poorly perceived, but going from Solo to Duo always feels like such a major slowdown so much that people pretty much would rather Solo unless there's a decent opportunity to get 4+ people in a group to make it worthwhile. There's no more Egg drops once you pair up and now you're sharing XP Item drops that are still on a 2-minute hard timer so essentially halving the rate of gain for each player.
What if Eggs continued to drop in a Duo?
Or perhaps what if every additional person added to the group halves the number of Eggs that drop?
For example:
1 = 100%
2 = 50%
3 = 25%
4 = 12%
5 = 6%
6 = 3%
7 = 1%
8 = 0%
This really just stems from the perception that Duoing feels slower than Soloing. I dunno, just thoughts.
