That is just what I have heard posted before.
I'm not totally convinced there is actually a penalty for being outdamaged by your pet. After much soloing using minimal spells myself (because I thought we got full xp for doing *any* damage) I seemed to be getting quite good xp anyway.
The zone modifiers are another possible myth. I did lots of soloing in loio with my druid (using a charmed pet doing over 95% of the damage) and the xp per kill was fine.
I wouldn't think the pet's proportion of xp is part of the data files anyway, so I am somewhat skeptical about the ability of this server to have specific rules. If they could change the program code then the sit-meditate thing would have been fixed.

You sound like some Suit who watched a power point trying to tell people who have played on this server since its inception how the server works. Also your methods for determining fact or fiction seem to be more along the lines of "I got good xp anyway"... If you are a necro its quite easy. find mobs that con white. Kill with pet, record change in xp. Kill without pet, do the same, then compare. It is half xp since Im pretty sure you wont actually look at your xp bar.
