Default potential exploit

I needed a break from pilgrim so I decided to play around with alts. I discovered 2 main things that Im concerned about.

1st off, being a 5th time pilgrim, mobs are 80+ lvls for me. I rerolled an alt, then got it to level 3 by itself. I then let my toon fight a couple of ashen trail mobs till the alt got lvl 7. Then I thought..gee lets try a boss, so I took myself and my alt to the lvl 88 Fern grove boss. I went in first, taunted, then alt entered, got a bunch of exp. In short it looks like it may take an hour to level the said alt to cap. IS THIS AN EXPLOIT?

2ndly I have noticed mob level drops are of the mob level still. This means low levels could get thier epic or items drop from a high level boss (I think this is definitely exploitable).

lol the amount of tcs is irrelevant in this case since 5th pilgrim is reward in itself *insert belly laugh here*. And yes the boss is lvl 88 if I start battle and lvl 8 if the alt does.

Final results:

Took about 6 hours RRT on a boon character and an r5 pilgrim pot (at lvl 35) to go from level 1 to level 85. Was thinking maybe the plvl nerf wasnt working very well since I was getting about 4mill exp per kill. btw, the toon had an iron gaff and used no trophies at all.

It probably thinks the boss is still level 8 for the pl nerf and therefore isn't reducing the exp gain. Just a theory

Got curious about what beet said so I tested my lvl 85 on 2 bosses. 1st I took the pilgrim and alt and did the lvl 90 mossland boss and checked exp. Then took a 'normal' level 86 to the level 90 DMV boss and the exp was the same. So I dont think its confusing the lvl 10 boss with the lvl 90 boss.

thanks Tem

Glitchless, Ive tested the pilgrim plvl nerf and I think you got it right. Its still possible, but a lot slower. I plvled a lvl 22 in plains for a little today and it seems exp is nerfed good. Problem though is they got a kitten drop. I dont know if your too concerned about this, but low levels having access to high-end epics may be exploitable (especially if they count drops), dont know if you want to fix this or not.

Have to admit, there is a temptation there, but I think it would hurt the game. Sorry Jewel you will need to wait for someone else to start doing.
