Relative xp - how does it work?

[August]

I can only go off what I know to that question.

If you are grouped with someone with whom the mob cons green, then no one gets experience.

Is it too much of stretch to think that mobs that con light blue will suffer the same exp penalty the highest member would receive? I guess the question would be if the formula applies the penalty to the full group (which happens in the case of a green mob) or to only the members who violate the light-blue mob contract.

Please also keep in mind that in a group your experience doled out is equal to a percentage:

Your Total experience earned / Total experienced earned by all group members.

Meaning that if everyone is identical in their level, class, and race (same exp mod) at the exact same point in their level, exp is split evenly. I know there is a js app somewhere around here that tells you what your split of experience is based on group composition. If mob exp penalties are applied evenly based on highest members, then you're basically getting hit with a double whammy:

1) your exp is less than even since you have a high level in your group
2) Your exp is then factored by some fraction of 1 (25% or 50%) of the outcome of (1) .



I guess in general: Don't kill light blues!
