Thoughts on the current method of group XP distribution?

Anyone? I'm curious to hear what people have to say about it.

The current method of group experience distribution is the simplest formula I think possible.
Highest active level in the group is weighed against the monster to give a certain exp. That number is divided by the number of group members. Then the total is truncated down to 3k if needed. So basically if you have a six member group you need to kill something thats like 30-40 levels higher than the top member for everyone to get 3k. I havent tried to figure out the experience formula yet cause it would require me to take notes. By active level I mean whatever was used during battle....if you don't know what that means then....think about it?

It's pretty darn good once you realise the complications getting it to its current state

amitst is right, but there is also a bonus depending on the number of members in the team. Something like +20% with two members and about another +10% per member after that (I think). It was posted on the old version of these boards, in the deep dark ages of Focus Beta, but I don't think its mentioned anywhere now.
