Dev clarifaction on exp switch

[Arya_Leviathan]

Right because switching to a higher lv job and one shoting a spell mob or just a mob that's used just for xp before the spell is used or killing it right after the person pulls so the puller doesn't get any xp or get to learn the spell isn't hurting anyone one. /rolls eyes.

Except... The puller does get exp and can learn a skill if the mob casts it. Literally the other similiar leveling method to job swap is to have a level 70 buddy (or any one that can one shot) to kill the mob after you tag it. You just have to not be in a party together, this was the other method people did to powerlevel, and has been a thing forever to boost a friend to 15 since ARR. So are they too hurting people? Else your point is moot.

Not if you don't have enough time to actually do enough damage. I had people kill slyphs for instance right after I off guard or sticky tongue and not get any xp. Also the lower level player normally has to do damage to the mob to get any xp credit before the lv 70 friend kills it. Also the instances I've seen were soloist so they weren't power leveling others just themselves.

I'm not sure why our experiences are different; I helped a Lv1 BLU over at Wineport and despite that they did no damage, as long as they tagged the mob first and got priority on the target, they got full XP from it when I killed it.

There are times where this works and other times where it doesn't amd they have to actually hit it a few times before they generate enough hate or whatever the game looks at. Like they can't just go tag it with repelling shot or fluid aura that no longer does damage. I've tried to help lower leveled people that way more than once and some have gotten the xp just after tagging it and others have not.

I can almost guarantee you, my BLU friend who only had water cannon missed 9/10. They were a Lv1 shooting a 120 potency attack at a Lv49, and we didn't notice in our entire time there them missing any experience.
