The group bonus does not assume that two level 30 (rating 30) players are equal to a level 60 (rating 60) player. It maps the group's level to the monster's rating, taking into account the number of players, and provides a bonus. For a practical example, try two rating 10 simple warriors against a rating 13 or 14 or 15 monster. You'll see the bonus scale up appropriate to the risk. 13 is okay, 14 is hard, and 15 is really hard (thus more bonus). Please remember this is total rating, not just your current school level.
