One of my toons is a 30 Necromancer. I have noticed of late my xp being less than others in my group. Sometimes conditions aren't just right for accurate measurment. Grouping with within 1 or 2 lvls, killing within 1 or 2 lvl mobs my xp seems to be about 23's of anyone else in my group. I do know these thing vary and it is somewhat of a complex science involved in determing how xp is divided, but I am constatantly on the bottom of my group. It doesn't seem to matter the size of the group. I discussed this subject on line with a SOE rep, his statement was that is was because of my pet. For this reason I would never get the same xp as other non-pet players. I told him that without my pet i couldn't do near the dmg of any other lvl 30 player. I feel that my pet seems to somewaht even out the abilities that other lvl 30 players have, without him (FH) i would be worthless or close to it. Atleast not be able to be a contributing member of a lvl 30 group. Anyway, i might be in the dark but I really haven't heard anything about an xp penlty. Has any of you? It might be common knowledge but i ahve only really noticed it the last few lvls. Thanks in advance for your comments.
