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.
