How the HELL are you supposed to gain experience in a players 1 game?
Methinks players 1 gives more experience than it used to. Killing a Doom Caster in Hell with a clvl 82 barb netted 25k experience in 1.10. In 1.09 it gave a mere 9k.

Of course the actual difficulty in getting the kill is much different. My barb is a berserk/frenzy/warcry build. His gear is optimized for stubborness, not killing: sigons belt, boots, gloves, angelic rings, sabre (in off hand), armour and ammy, hat with +2 skills, +2 berserk, +3 find item, and a cruel near 300% clean champion sword and a might merc. Nothing really godly by 1.09 and could easily be improved for killing.

He tooled around a4 hell players 1 and I'd guesstimate the difficulty was comparable to players 5 in 1.09, which is to say he moved pretty quickly ~5-6 hits/kill. The exception was boss packs*gah*so much life. For comparison, a Doom Caster in players 5 1.09 gave ~32k. By my crude guesstimations, he was able to gain experience maybe a little slower rate than before.

I'm going to say to the original poster, "what about players 1!" :P Try it for awhile and compare it to soloing larger games in 1.09 in terms of rewards per unit time. Experience was comparable for me. The jury is still out on drops though, but elites seemed far more common.
