Xp penalties working the way they were, werent done on purpose, if the group xp was divided on purpose to neglect the xp penalty there wouldn't have been one in the first place.

It was deliberate, as the original developers themselves confirmed. I don't feel like checking around the internet for the quotes but it's out there if you look. IIRC they changed it during EQ beta when they noticed folks were out-leveling their friends. Yes, it had the effect of rendering the experience penalties largely pointless. C'est la vie; Everquest is in some ways a badly-made game.
