Then if we fought level 10 mobs, the level 50 char got no exp but the level 1 chars would. Is that still the case? Or is it more like if the level 50 gets normal exp, the level 1 will get none?
    In 1.19 plvl was possible from within the group, now plvl has to be while not grouped up. Meaning lower level has to claim the mob before it can be killed no more afk leveling.

    That was possible before 1.19, just slightly differently.

    let me explain the difference.

    POST 1.19 PLing
    group consists of 1 level 50 and 7 level 35s
    the 50 kills everything while the rest watch, the level 35s get more exp than the level 50
    everyone got exp

    PRE 1.19 PLing
    group consists of 1 level 50 and 7 level 1s
    the 50 kills everything but the level 1s only get exp if the level 50 gets none or very little
    only the low level chars get exp

    it wasnt
    but you could still be 50 in a group of low ranked people and get them tons of easy quick exp back then too

    Hmmm yah i remember that, it wasnt as good tho, doubt they will go back to a similar xp formula as 1.18 as they dont want players going afk.

    well we will see what they do

    the "best" solution to everything is for exp to finaly start scaling like it does in most other games
    with exp gains the same for everyone in party, based on whoever is the highest level....


    but thats probly not what they did

    we will see

    that actually doesn't have anything to do with it.

    And now:

    Post 1.19a PLing

    2 groups, the low level group and the level 50(s) powerleveling them.
    The low level group engages an enemy (likely within 10 levels of their own), claims enemies, level 50 kills them and the low level group gets full EXP.

    I'm thinking that this might still be possible with a single group. Check it out:

    With the previous formula (pre 1.19) if a group consisted of lets say 1 rank 48 and 7 rank 1s and the 48 fought r45+ mobs the rank 1s got nothing because they were considered too low. However, if that same group fought rank 10 mobs, the rank 48 was considered too high so the rank 1s got all the SP.

    I suppose we'll have to try after the patch to see for sure what's possible now...

    I think xp will be killed if a higher level is in your group, how much higher idk...as for killing much higher mobs the xp will most likely be capped, and the low lvl runs the risk of being 1 shot so its not worth it
