As I understand it, some people find out the mobs that are more likely to drop adept1 books, disable adventurer xp gain, and then start farming them. A simple "fix" for that would be this: If anyone in the group has disabled xp gain, the mob does not drop a chest (in other words, it would be like killing greys.)
That is a terrible idea... they already have TLC to deal with that, if someone wants to hunt for no XP in order to get something they need for themselves, a friend or to sell that is their business... they are giving up XP to do so, which is more than enough of a downside.
I personally disable XP on many occassions for many different reasons, the main one being the ability to let my friends catch up while still allowing me to help them do so. Us having to give up all chances of loot dropping would be a terrible thing. Not to mention getting stuff like language quests that require drops from chests to complete... I already screwed up and outleveled WC with only one page to go, I am not going to let that happen again even if I have to disable XP for days to get the drop.
