Whoah, That would be probably the worse thing you could do.
Newbies would be flyin high. How about this
Take the total amount of levels in a group (suppose 2 level 5 chars and a
level 30 are grouped), kill a mob, divide the experience by the amount of
levels, and then take that amount and give it to the chars multiplied by
their level. Ie. The above said group kills a mob that would normally give
any one person killing it 80k experience. Total levels is 40, 80k divided
by 40 would be 2k. Both level 5 chars would get 10k, and the 30 level char
would get 60k.
Not only would that be a good way to do it, it also makes sense
:). You would imagine the bigger char doing the brunt of the work, so it
makes sense they get more experience. Are there any flaws I am
overlooking, I am trying to think why this would NOT work, and cannot
think of anything.
