I noticed before that 8h 2x we had because my friends had planned on grinding to 210 in one day and was complaining about the exp decreasing. We were on skype so I asked if it was them looking at it incorrectly since 2x showed up as its own line of exp saying bonus exp and even when they added it up they were only getting a little more than 174k per kill w/ a full party. And they said that the extra was the bonus party exp you'd get regardless of if you were in party play or not. And they actually grinded for like 10h so after 2x was over they were only getting 87k.

What is dividing is the leech formula, dividing up kill exp between all the people of the party.
Take your party to a non party-play zone and you'll observe the same lowering of base kill exp with more people in the party.
20% party play bonus, not applied to HS and other exp buffs, just fails to make up for it, unlike the old 50%-multiplicative (which no longer happens at SH either).
Also, see this thread, starting at about this point, for some numbers and math.
