The patch notes seem to suggest that new characters should be getting double the experience between levels 1 and 50. I've recently moved into a flat with my girlfriend and last week we had our broadband set up. I convinced her to give FFXIV a go and she's now bought the game and I've bought her a 60 day timecard and she's fallen in love with it, but we've noticed a problem:

I'm an old player with a few level 50 characters already, but my level 8 THM is getting double the experience she gets on her level 10 MRD. If we both gold a FATE together, she'll get around 1,000 to 2,000 experience whilst I'll get 2,000 to 4,000 experience; equally when killing monsters together she'll be getting around 80 experience and I'll be getting around 160.

What is going on here, shouldn't this be the other way around?
