The reasoning is that it's actually not that simple and clear how the math works out.
If the thing simply stated "you gain x% more gold/xp" people will complain that they dont get quite as much as they think they do. 10% party boost isnt 10% overall.
By being in a party, each kill is worth 140% more gold (and xp, but I dont feel like typing that each time). However, this 140% is then divided by the number in a party. With 2 people, you get only 70% gold per kill, but assuming you're doing roughly equal damage as your partner, you're now getting 70% gold per kill, in half the time. (call it 140% more gold per hour).
Party boost modifies this:
(140/x)*(Boost/100+1)
where x is the number in your party. If you have 2 in a party, with level 1 (10%) party boost, you now get 77% per kill, so 154% boost to gold per hour (again, assuming you do equal dps to your partner).
If you have 3 in a party, and you have level 2 party boost, you get only 56% per kill. But in theory, you're killing in 1/3rd the time, so 168% boost overall
