Well, if you are not getting full exp for killing a mob you did ANY AMOUNT of damage GREATER THAN ZERO and NOT getting full experience then this patch was put in wrong, or completely misunderstood...this was not SOE's way of disabling soloing for pet classes with summoned pets.
The change was Dire Charmed pets mainly, which said if you do >50% of the damage then you get full experience, and instead of 50% exp, you get 25% if you do no damage with summoned or regularly charmed pets. I think someone needs to setup a good UI with higher resolution XP bars and run some tests on a static spawn that is always the same level and see what gives what instead of complaining then take it and the section posted here and on the link someone posted above and call the dev out on it. It's not supposed to hurt your experience...
It's still not classic...

No that's not what happened here. Originally we had the new system where if you did 1 point of damage you got 100% XP. They changed it to the old system where you have to outdamage your pet or suffer a 50% XP penalty. I've seen it myself, where if a mob resists one too many of my nukes I get a large XP penalty because my pet does the majority of damage.
The new system was fine, superior to the old system in every way. There's no reason to replace the new system with the old except to affect red99, or because "it was classic".
I feel the same about race/class XP penalties. Yeah it was classic, but it was also a boneheaded idea that was later repealed, and never repeated in another MMORPG (that I know of).
