[dev1026][dev1131] XP Penalties

[Avraym]

Most players are happy with the new XP/Claiming/Linking system, but are concerned about the possible exploits.

Having said that, I have two question for the Dev's so that some insight could be gained.

1. With the claiming system, will we recieve an SP penalty if players outside the party help to kill a mob claimed?

This will obviously allow for one of two things:
1. XP isn't penalised - Exploit for PLing.
2. XP is penalised - Exploit for Greifing other parties.

2. With the linking system, will xp be penalised for aoeing or attacking targets that aren't the primary target?

I'm assuming we will be able to aoe now. Problem is, this can render some current disiciple of war classes less effective for grinding over disciple of magic. Thaum can take quite a few hits and still dish out massive aoe damage in short peroids of time. Whats to stop gathering a group of Thaum and tactlessly spaming aoe.
