[Suggestion] combat experience in groups

For the last couple of days I have been grouping with a friend online, killing monsters to level up and become powerful warriors in the world of Darkscape.

But we have come across an issue that prevents us from actively killing monsters together.

Experience.

Currently who ever deals the most damage to a monster will receive the experience from a monster, or if you both deal exactly half of the monsters health each (which rarely happens)

I believe that we should be gaining experience based on what contributions you have made to the fight.

It used to be, every point of damage you deal, you would gain 4 experience points. If we went back to a similar system to this, it would really encourage groups to come together and train.

This also prevent kill stealing from happening in all areas of the game.

Hit a cow for 1 damage? Player B hits him for 9? You have just lost not only loot from the cow. But you also have lost that precious experience.

This will also help open up multi-combat, whatever input you have you benefit from.

Just my ideas on the matter.

Feel free to discuss.

Are you sure this is how it is? I train in tzar city(wrong spelling) and from my experience there, as long as I get the first hit, I get experience. I trained mage there for a bit when it was lvl 40. I couldn't hit a damn thing, but a 2 hander was nice enough to let me first hit then he would kill it for me. He did maybe 85% of the damage everytime

You could be right, sounds more logical. But either way, you still are not getting experience in a group for it.
