Exp at level 2

[Wild]

I'm playing around with a dwarf rogue in Butcherblock and I noticed that I get around 1% per kill at level 2, when killing level 1 mobs. So it takes almost 100 mobs to finish that level, which is insane.

I've played EQ for many, many years and I know that this level never was that slow before. Level 3 was usually slow, but never 2.

Can this be a bug or is it supposed to be this way? Just wondering.

Kill an even con at level 2, you should get like 5%. I always remember wanting to stick to even+ cons until like 5 or so.
