Do pets currently take 50% of your exp?

I can not understand why anyone would solo when a pet takes half your exp! Why not duo with another pet class, or healer? Even if you duo with someone who just adds small utility compared to you, you're getting the same exp as you would alone with the pet.

It takes far too much mana to kill a mob with nukes, forcing you to med for ages. It's actually a lot faster to just have the pet do almost all the work. When I was playing a mage a couple days ago I'd nuke down one mob and then sit down and meditate because I was at like 20m. By the time I was max mana my pet had already killed about 6 mobs, maybe more... I wasn't counting.

Edit: Oh yeah, those mobs were even con to me.

If something is classic but makes the game easier, assume its not in, and it probably isn't. (exploits, pathing, obvious bugs)
If its classic and makes the game more difficult, assume its working. (Book med, etc)
If its supposed to be classic and the client wont allow it, assume theyve put in an alternative to make it equal or even harder then classic. (The more harsh nightblindness)

But where's the proof that no pet XP penalty was classic

Long story short, there are a couple of different sources that prove it. For example, you can find old posts complaining about Necros for example being able to just sit there and AFK EXP by setting their pet to guard a spawn point and taking the full EXP. Other examples include comments from Verant about changing the Necro FD to have a limited duration to prevent AFK EXP pet camping, patch notes later in the eras about pet EXP, etc. etc.

Go read the thread linked in Dolalin pet attack vs mages. You'll find evidence in that same discussion.

But people are just cherry picking. Evidence is here, posted on these forums.

I would like to read these sources, though

I searched the forum for "dolalin mage" and found "Mages were HORRIBLE at launch" and "Mages are up shit's creek I guess", which are 15 and 34 pages respectively. Do I need to go through one of those threads to find the proof?

Do I have to read to read the things I claim to want to read?
