Credit Goes to BarakObooma for this research. Truthfully, I just noticed the frenzied approach other players take to this zone, and its acidic effect on the community while playing there. Now its obvious that there is a reason why.
Currently, as implemented, gnoll fang turn in to Captain Tillman in Qeynos renders too much experience. This leads to slumming by higher level characters in a zone meant for characters generally between 5 and 16. The exp should fall closer in line with other newbie quests that are relevant to their starting dungeon
As it stands today, it can be proven that 300 fangs will take a player from level 12-level 20

There's a post from 2001 where a Dwarf Paladin said he went from level 6 to 7 on one stack of fangs.

"this is an excellant quest for newbies in quenos...when you get to 5th lvl go to blackburrow and save the fangs (they stack)..and when your not busy or you go to quenoys to sell loot complete it.good exp i went from lvl 6 to lvl 7 with 1 stack (includes doing the moonstone part)

Level 6 would take 91,000 experience x 40% penalty = 127,400 experience needed. Divided by 20 fangs, that would mean each fang = 6370 experience which is less than 1/3 of what it currently is (19-20k each).
Clearly something is amiss here. Please take a look.
