I cannot get experience EVEN IN A TEAM

dunno, thought they were your friends, my friends do these kind of things for me =)
btw, are my calculations correct, yes or no?

also consider this, me: "Yo, i'm not getting any XP here, could we move to easier mobs with less XP, shouldn't affect your leveling too much, since we can kill them way faster. "

It doesn't bother you to know that by asking for such a thing you are killing 8 other peoples experience rates? This is like having a friend stay over at your house for the weekend. Sure its fun on the first day, maybe even the second, but if he takes up residence on your couch you are going to resent it. It's not my fault or theirs that I can no longer contribute to the team. I just can't. The way the game stands right now, I need to level to be able to contribute. However, we all level at the exact same rate. Therefore I will always be behind everyone. This means that I shall never catch up and my team will never be able to operate against enemies at their full potential if they are dragging me along.

I am in a classic catch-22 caused by the recent game patch.

Maybe you don't mind being a mooch (Like Zzei accused me of... but later retracted), but honestly I do. I don't like knowing that I am mooching. I would rather prefer that I was pulling my own weight.

You edited your post, but FYI: They were killing everything within 100m about as fast as it spawned already, I doubt they could have gone any faster.

Well, i don't exactly kill their level rate, as in groups we usually take on herds of mobs, like the Bodoc west of 4ways, they don't give much xp, but the fact that we are killing them fast and more than one at a time really makes up for that. Also beefs the fun factor a good bit. =)
If that also is negative to the dynamics of your group:
Tried leveling in smaller groups? From the experience of my guild mates a quite effective group has the following constellation: 1 Melee, 1 Healer, 2 Off.Aff. Mages. A smaller teamsize would lower the level of the mob you need to kill to a point where you should be able to affect it.
Sidenote: Our CM regularly sends a list of questions to Nevrax, one question was if they could raise the team limit and the answer was that 9 is the limit they are willing to go to. This seems to indicate that the current gameplay is geared towards grouping, but smaller groups.

Btw, nice way of dodging my question. =)

Why, when we all want to play together in a team... should we be forced to break up into *two* teams just to mantain a reasonable experience rate for everyone?

Can anyone imagine what that would sound like over a teamspeak server? o.O

And honestly... whats the point of having a 9 person team if there is no benifit after adding say, the 4th person? That doesn't seem like a poor design choice with the way combat is geared at this particular moment?

Seriously... you see nothing wrong with this at all. Not a thing?

And btw, I am not dodging your question, I am just obstinately refusing to provide you with any information because it irrirates you.

Being able to organize your group for a purpose other than leveling, such as getting to a certain place or killing a specific mob to get some materials

Not really, currently i'm seeing Nevrax trying to build a kinda squad-based fighting system, you do realize on what this game's inspiration is leaning on?

Quite childish, you are a) refusing to prove your statement of you doing nothing wrong or b) refusing to admit that your combat plans were not geared to the situation.
