If I had to guess, I'd guess that people saying stuff like this is probably what confused the OP in the first place. This sentence suggests the penalty is actually a penalty, that you earn less exp per kill as a troll SK and that when you join a group everyone earns somewhat less exp per kill. Only someone who already knows how exp in groups works will correctly understand what you mean when you say this.

Good point. Perhaps it could be called an exp appetite? Or some other word.

Though actually everyone does earn slightly less exp per kill, since the character with more total exp eats more exp. Right?
