letting us do "Players X" in online

[Game]

Increased player count is not necessary as of 5.0. It will no longer affect drops such as puzzles, enchantments, boss specific items, etc. The only thing it could be used for is experience, but since monster health no longer increases with players in-game in 5.0 it would essentially be a turn up my experience gain switch.

So, more players wont increase the amount of drops anymore?
How will this effect SoH?
Wouldn't it make sense to just normalize the XP as well then if enemy HP wont be increasing. Even if it's just XP, I never like feeling like I could be gaining more than I am (I.E. playing solo vs loading in mule).
If HP wont be increasing, wont this make all content hilariously easy once you've got a few players in?

It will not. Wait for 5.0 and see There's some big changes. SoH will no longer be used to make diablo soulstone in 5.0 either.
