In the interest of procrastinating at work, I will dissect the post:
Holding all else equal, as the person you are grouped with increases in level relative to you, you will receive a smaller cut of the exp from the mob. What the mob "cons" to the group is based on some average of the level of the group members, not exclusively what it cons to the highest member of the party. If this were the case, straight greens to the highest level of a party would give no experience whatsoever.
It is true that 2 dark blues can give different amounts of exp, but 2 mobs of the same level in the same zone will ALWAYS give identical exp. The only determining factors in how much exp an enemy will give is the mob's absolute level, the mob's relative level to you (blue, LB, green), and the zone exp modifier.

I am perfectly willing to accept your theory if you can show proof / evidence or if we can get a developer to back up your claim. From the testing I've done over the last 5 years, I maintain that my theory on how it works is correct, as it appears to fall exactly in line with what I've experienced when grouping with different levels.

Mobs that /consider straight green to the highest level of a party give zero experience whatsoever to any players in the group. Now that you mentioned this, I have to conclude that your theory really isn't tested at all and you're have no real understanding of this yourself. How, after playing this game for any period, could you not know that mobs that /consider straight green to the highest member don't give xp to anyone in the group?
