Slightly different issue, Treats.
He is not advocating changing the range between PCs, but the range between the mob and the highest PC in the group.
If a 46 and a 39 are grouped together and they kill something that is green to the 46 but blue to the 39, they will get no xp. Where as they would get xp for killing something that was blue to both of them. Soniknoise is saying that the 39 should get xp while the 46 gets none. I was going to say that I can't remember, but I think we're doing it correctly on P99, but now that I am typing... I think back in the day the 39 would still get xp, but only the portion of xp he would get assuming that the 46 was taking his own appropriate share of the xp. The 46 toon still grabs his piece of the pie, he just has to throw it away and not eat it (to borrow my pie analogy).
I'd be interested to see if anyone can produce some evidence that this was the case. This is not one of those issues where I am very confident in my recollection.
