But wouldn't that only happen under very specific circumstances?

This discussion always makes me want to go "lalalala I don't care" because all I know is when I end up grouping with multiple hybrids the exp always seems to be shit.

Maybe this is because of shared penalty, maybe this is because a warrior tank + a rogue results in shit dying quicker than a sk + a ranger.

My real world experience was in lvl 59 I grouped with 2 sk (1 erudite 1 iksar) + bard + iksar monk + rogue and I got 1%/hr at bar/chef clearing the full spawns.

The next day I was grouped in crypt with war + 2 rogues + shaman + ench and was getting ~4%/hr at a camp that is supposed to be arguably less exp than bar/chef?

Well if the 2 sk, bard & monk were all laying a huge penalty on me then that sure as hell would explain the slowness of a camp generally considered to be the 'best' group exp spot in seb.

Similar leveled penalty characters will always take more of the exp than a non penalty character. Having so many high penalty characters in your group, they were knocking you out of exp entirely. The split was probably something like 19% per kill for everyone else, and you were getting like 5%.
