Experience in Groups

currently it seems no one in the group gets exp if the highest level in the group does not get exp such as in my example where a player levels during the group.

the classic ruleset allowed the rest of the group to continue to get exp, and just divided the pie among the characters who still got exp.

So what you're saying is, if a level 60 is grouped with a level 5 in Crushbone, the 60 can pull the zone, wipe everything out, and the level 5 will get full exp for every kill?

That's certainly not something I remember. Got any evidence?

Level x 1.5 = max level character you can exp with.

Now I don't know how it works if a 40 and 60 are grouped and mob being killed is green to the 60.

If mob doesn't yield exp to the highest level in group, no one gets exp iirc.

Yeah experience in groups seems odd. I could have sworn that in classic you always got experience for things that weren't green - even if it was green to others in the group. This was balanced by the fact that the higher level players still took their portion from the pie - they just didn't actually get it; it was lost. But I really thought the lower level group members still got their portion.

So as long as you were within the 2/3's of highest level range you could still group up and kill things (blue to lower level and green to higher level) and the lower would still get experience (drastically cut).

No experience for anyone in the group makes it quite annoying to try and get friends caught up in experience once they get behind.

yes this, although up through late velious least, the high level's portion was not lost. the exp was divided between those able to receive it, resulting in the lolbroken ability to pl in places like bloodgills, lt in guk, etc.

but please remember the suggestion is a not-broken version where exp is not exploitable like it was.

I'm gonna chime in here.. This is how it works.
When I ding in a group and now the mobs green.. My group members are still getting exp.. And vice versa. When someone higher than me dings and mobs green to them, I'm still gaining exp ... Hope this helps
