This is actually incorrect. At launch, they didn't have pet EXP sharing in at all. They ultimately implemented changes when players realized how to abuse the system with AFK pet camping. They also changed Necro FD to have a fixed duration around the same time for similar reasons (FDing in perpetuity making AFK pet EXPing extra safe because the mob wouldn't put you on the hate list).

This is correct. The other very, very early bug with experience that was available on launch was that there was a small bonus for being in a group from incoming experience from a killed target, and this bonus was increased based on group size. No new news there, you say? Well, people were spam inviting people into groups in different zones while solo killing in their zone of choice without any of the group members being in that zone. They got the full exp of the target that was killed since no one else in the group was in the zone, plus the bonus. This was nerfed about two to three weeks before the change to /consent to be a corpse drag only.
I'll confess, guilty as charged. My guild and I abused that expeience bug. Probably the only time in my gaming life I was happy to be solo leveling in Everfrost.
