If you can get on the hate list, which is an admited hassle for some classes when your main one shots rooms of mobs, then yes you do get even more xp. So leveling a healer, or support class will be very easy to get the bonus and the encounter xp. Boxing an assasin will pretty much suck.
What is the reasoning in this? Near as I can tell there is none.
I think they are trying to close off avenues such as mentoring down and grinding Chelsith as a means for 90+ characters to get levels and AA instead of trying to find a PUG.
This can be done without kicking people PLing a box in the soft bits. They chose both to remove encounter experience while mentored AND if you didn't make the hate list. The first part nerfs doing chelsith chrono'd for crazy xp rather than doing current content. I can understand that to a degree, however the second part is specifically to penalize people who are PLing an alt. That penalty I argue does hurt the game for the reasons I previously mentioned.
Encouraging top level players to play in end-game to level up is fine, I can accept that change. I know it hurts some people who go the get level 90 asap then go back and get AA's, but their giving plenty of xp opportunities for them to correct that before this change goes live.
The second part is where I think ultimately we lose people faster if we chose to go down that path, with no upside (that I can fathom) for having that penalty there.
