I was under the impression that pets took XP if they did more than 50% of the damage to the mob. I double checked and this is what I found on an archive post from 2000 on castersrealm regarding mages:

Q: How much Experience does my pet take when I do more than 50% of the damage to the mob?
A: If you do the majority of the damage when fighting with your pet it will not take any experience from the monster. This applies only to soling however, and will not impact upon grouped situations.
Q: How much Experience does my pet take when I do less than 50% of the damage to the mob?
A: If your pet does more than 50% of the damage required to kill the mob it will take half the experience of the mob. This applies only to soling however, and will not impact upon grouped situations.

Having this in place doesn't mean people won't AFK level - they will just level 50% slower. No big deal really seeing as they are AFK anyway. But if its not in place it should be.
