Possible archer hero spoiled?

Can also be seen as a debuff in a way in terms of training.
1st Update: Warrior Buff + Crappy hacker control with the EXP lowered as you're higher leveled than the monster.
2nd Update: Mage Buff + Removal of Party areas that actually encouraged active party training and now you are stuck to being in a restricted small area that seems fast paced, repeatable and seemingly dull as the whole interaction thing goes away.
God damn it Nexon. Removing the one thing that made the game enjoyable as a high level.

I agree. They should've kept the whole party play zone thing, and just added some kind of incentive for playing through Monster Park (like some kind of nice permanent equipment set).
