Game Mechanics: Group exp HAS TO BE BUGGED

[Lanvaren]

Group EXP is almost certainly bugged.

Just testing in duos, EQUAL LEVEL TOONS and DIFFERENT LEVEL TOONS gain EXP at DIFFERENT RATES.

While leveling an alt w/ my brother with a Druid/Mage combo, my Brother (the Mage) was out-leveling me... these were EQUAL-LEVEL toons, and we were both contributing to damage on all mobs.

While leveling w/ a friend on my main - Bard (Me) and an SK (lower-level) the SK was gaining EXP roughly 40% faster than I was. The SK was 9 lvls lower than me, but IIRC, higher level players are supposed to leech additional experience - players are supposed to now gain EXP at the same rate, regardless of penalties/etc.


Additionally, while soloing spectres, I was consistently getting 2% per quad, almost exactly on the dot. When DUOING with a Cleric, the rate dropped BELOW 1% per quad, and seemed to be about 2% per three quads. After picking up a third and fourth member to the group, the EXP became abysmal - 1% per 6+ quads. I was at the specs for about 12 hrs in total. All of the group members had a lesser EXP penalty than me, and were lower level.


I will continue to do testing and attempt to confirm the posted.
