I think that is perception bias, and the wiki is accurate, based on my own experience.

Take for example when Pimento and I levelled up together. We were a barbarian shaman and a human paladin. As a barbarian, I had a 5% exp penalty, and as a paladin, she had a 40% exp penalty. Our base xp for a level 1 is 1000 XP to level. So I needed 1050XP and she needed 1400XP. In order for us to stay the same level as we grouped together without me out levelling her, she would need a bigger split of every mob we kill: 1400/(1050+1400)=57.1% to my 1050/(1050+1400)=42.9%. The calculator reflects this.
Yeah, I have heard similar things from people who level together. I think the issue comes in with level differences. This is easy to test; go have a level 59 duo with a level 40.
